Vampires of despair
Preying on your mind at night
To lick your cold sweat
As their tongues speak of lost love
Draining your body of hope

Draining the reservoir of intestinal fortitude
A calm, confident being will forthrightly protrude

Don’t tell me you care,
or speak of draining the swamp.
That would take some guts.

Sand grains in my hand
Draining away swift
Eternal intent
In form that now sifts

we are but silt
in a river called time
heading toward a worm-hole
draining a past toward a future
trying to make sense of the sense of it all

My feeding is true yet malnourished
Soul seeking though astonished
Devices of form and virtue
Draining the core tips of mankind
I see the world
Let me live it

Republican fountain flows black
on blue seas metamorphic rock,
draining the earth’s core dry.
Greed streams while oceans cry.
The sea is sick but I’m shell shocked.

She thought she would grow green in the sun,
Branches spreading sweetly in the garden,
Suddenly she was wrapped with pain from failing dreams

September Sighs
A coolness chilling her heart
Her touch faintly feeble
A darkness creeping closer
Color draining from her cheeks
An icy distance in her eyes

Pride of Their Own
Slaves appear to have their own pride;
Livelihood for own family they provide;
When raining,
Energy draining;
In small shelters is where they abide.

cloud
rusting
set windy
rain is draining down
smooth flat memories of past
gold ice reindeer on the porch
wintertime hung above the sky

Have any of youse guys really noticed lately
Females are showing more parts quite shapely
Not really complaining
But I do find it draining
Popping my cork, I admit barefacedly

Wasting,
Moments,
moments of life
that will never thrive
because you-
you cast them aside
running from a past
wanting only to hide
draining,
every second,
every inch,
breathe for today.

a pinecone
its very sweetness is what repels us
its life's blood draining out
and we think only of ourselves
sticky, sticky pinecone
there is beauty in all things
if one only looks hard enough

Fading still fading from view
No more wondering what to do
A point to ponder .....still
Draining away is my will
Would I live on in time
And re-claim the feeling so fine.

Between now and then much energy you spend…
Draining your reserves and causing your head to spin…
But if you were to STOP… and focus on something new…
You may discover pleasure and relaxation grew…

Always Suspicious About
We have always been suspicious of AXIOS;
Have spread many rumors and are verbose;
Breaking rules;
Draining pools (And swamps),
And like Trump we wish would die a dross.

A searing sun
A cloudless sky
Dust fogs the air
A warm wind whips
Withering grass
A river bed
Where stumbling steers
Paw at the ground
No way refreshed
In draining heat
Tiring lean frames
In a dustbowl.

O' yon honey bee;
Yellow so leaf nectarine;
After the flowers;
~
Sucks on honey bee;
bud nectarine lunch;
draining nectars sum;

Searing, the sun
no shade on this run
perilous, the wind
eyes let sand in
draining, the humidity
tempting torpidity…
steep hill appears ~
tears, no more gears

Have not
turned out
How younger
self had
Imagined
Twists turns
Ups downs
Stumbled fell
Got up
Bumps bruises
Have happened
along the
Way running
Down this
Emotionally
Draining road
Called live and learn
