Vampires of Despair

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

Silence Is Golden

Meditating subconsciously in quiet solitude
Draining the reservoir of intestinal fortitude
A calm, confident being will forthrightly protrude

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

Wisdoms Realm

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

Bite Size Poem

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

I Cry Rivers For the Ocean

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.

Draining of a Life

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

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

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.

Breathe

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.

pinecone

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 From View

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.

Much Energy You Spend

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

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.

Where Buzzards Circle

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.

The Joy of Running

    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

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
