Premium Member They All Drift Away

They all drift away,
Times once mine gradually,
Further fade away,
As the day begins to end,
Even the sun slowly drifts.

Premium Member Clouds

Clouds drift
white and soft
New ones form,
then fade
Feathery edges
sweep across
Silver light glints
Grey shadows drift

Days Drift

days drift
feelings shift
nights are long

wind blows
love goes
rain will fall

hearts break
spirit quakes
you are gone

The Drift

Hearts do fall in life
Burst into storms of ardour
Drift against anchor.
Confine your heart to reason
When not ready for the tide.

Starlight spills like frost, dusting night’s dark velvet rim. Galaxies breathe slow~ soft lanterns in cosmic drift.

The Drift

The moon was
not enough
Wrapped in silk
It drifted from
her pocket

Leaving trail
in ripples
casting itself
deep in
unfathomable  sky

Lethargy

Like steam I float and drift, aimlessly
dripping like warm bottled water
spilt onto a floor, leaving the lazy
footprints of a dawdling daughter.

Drift

A craft ever afloat
in dark endless doldrums.

The drifting aether-boat,
station of static hum.

Fallout: the lethal moat.
Recov’ry never comes.

Premium Member Sailing a Drift

My ship is no longer 
sailing a drift,

In this big ocean 
called life.

I now have found my
safe harbor.

In your loving arms.

Off Line Always Does Drift

There are times when we should shift
Our gears so we can start being swift;
New President,
God has sent,
And fear off line he always does drift.

Drizzle Drift

. . . crisp leaves, toss, crackle

                                    tiny, telltale rain puddle

                                                                tadpole tails wiggle . . .

Drift Away

"Sitting by my window watching the world pass by
 I close my eyes and drift away to a place where we could fly
 My heart is warm with thoughts of you, I bide my time till our
 hearts are true"

Premium Member If Clouds Drift Away

if clouds drift away

if they close their eyes to sleep

will they miss the sun?

Before His Dreamland Drift

He got hold of my hand and put it ‘round his waist
He moved closer by my side for he’s about to rest
He turned his back on me while still holding my hand
My son bid me goodnight before drifting to dreamland.

Premium Member Kalimba Notes Drift Out

Kalimba notes drift out
To my delighted ear
As if the Matobo plains
Were conveyed from afar.
The tines - reverberating -
Complete an ethereal bar.
Each bar - artfully plucked -
Speaks kindly to my heart.

Premium Member Ephemeral Drift

Version #1

Petals float down like dreams,
landing gently on the ground,
vanishing before we rise.

Version #2

Petals descend like whispers,
landing quietly on the earth,
lost before we open our eyes.

Sometimes I Drift Into Your Realities

sometimes i drift into your realities
never felt at ease
time beckons from the dist
essence of beauty
taste of hope
inebriated on pain
crippled my fear
filled the empty with
nothing looking for last lasts

Premium Member While Buds Drift

night touches wind, gold

      buds drifting off from laced hems

         in slow procession,

     while twirl of frothy breeze cloaks...

 my desolate autumn view.

A Drift

My thoughts are empty Vessals.
Floating in a deep dark Lake I Think.
The waves are not Connected.
There everywhere it Seems.
One moment I am Shipwrecked.
Others as though I Sink.
I am hearing many Voices.
Its pirates so to Speak.

Butterflies Drift

Butterflies drift
before a man
before
the
dawning night.

Clouds retreating
beyond the veil
beyond
a
setting sun.

Ruminate long
within this space
within
this
sober sight.

Drifting

Drifting

Floating along at my perfect temperature,
Not too hot nor too cold.
No friction or abrasion or collision,
Uninterrupted,Unnoticed,Unaffected.
Mobile,Majestic.Miles Away
Swirling,Swaying and silent'Just Drifting
