familiarity
dulls the brightest garden
before beauty fades

life is a something 
which is trapped in jail 
it is easier to get in 
but harder to be out 
think less 
life blooms
think more 
life dulls 
life is not easy...

Like a bruise melting from blue to black, grief shows up slowly,
Appearing in the steam of coffee once shared, a laugh similar,
Yet as scabs heal back to pink flesh, grief’s ache dulls with time....

Music is like a painkiller to life. The lyrics match my feelings like a key to it's lock.

          It softens the impact
          and dulls the blade
          numbing the pain
          until it all goes away...

the cold
          dulls
subtle senses,
sterilises
            well-being:
unsettles
        the positive
induces
           futility
vanquishes
             desire-
and in silence
                     kills...

Cool breezes fills the air of aromatic desires...
The intoxicating scent dulls my 
senses and weakens my defenses.. 
Your fragrance is sweet as a gentle rain..
And those sweet kisses from you,
makes this man soul come alive.......

Love laughs at life,
Scorns the scourging whip of years,
Dulls life’s sawing knife
And watersheds its tears.

Love smiles at death,
Soul withstanding soil,
Heaped upon the flesh whose breath
Expires. Love’s Death’s foil....

hope
starts as 
a bright light
that dulls with time
and yet somehow shines
in the background
though it’s now
called a
wish

In hibernation, like a polar bear
After the searing pain dulls
Bearable, day by day

Sometimes, things do not go as planned.
Sometimes, you lend, or need a hand.
Sometimes, the small can just expand
Or float off into fairyland.
Sometimes, we do not understand,
Or overrule, or countermand.
It dulls the mind when all is canned;
The unexpected can be grand!...

Wet fret
Rain wets
Wet met


Wet fair
Cold air
Wet flair


Fluid ooze
Wet booze
Storm snooze


Wet cull
Late lull
Wet dulls


Neat surge
Wet urge
Peak purge

Wet room
Big gloom
Wet boom


Wet wit
Ooze fits
Wet bits

Pitter patter raindrops are slapping 
The windows pelting at the glass
Like chipped bone hacked and splintered
Wind whipped and catapulted 
The wood of the house dulls the sound
But the glass twinpained amplifies
The droplets Pitter Patter, Patter,Pitter
An unnatural sound to disturb sleep...

Joyous heart tenses, flame flickers
Light of awareness dulls
Soul is still but ego bickers
Poignant lulls, joy throb culls

Void dweller, detached stance
To flow of life does dance
In divine entwined trance

Enslaved by senses
Joyous heart tenses

Three lilies stand in one pot's frame
and dance together to the sound 
of their eternal breeze. 

Each pure, the same, 
no blemish in them found
moving each their different ways,
a trinity of ease.

No overshadow dulls another 
nor leaves a lesser shine. 
A trinity that needs no other. 
A trinity divine....

flaking paint
on peeling buildings
throws
clock fingers
through the last plumes of yesterday
Argus stained waiters
Gargoyles chewing on cigars
Smile till swede
Worshiping the harlequins
Sailors with denim eyes
velvet dolls with braided  smiles
worshiping the dreams of night
and the Serpentine dulls grey, disowned...

LIBRARY THOUGHTS 2


Mystic moods mull clear charming clay,
Dizzy daze dulls proud profound play.


Mind musky moods where wise words wing,
Grab gifted good through troubling things.


Taste touching thoughts lasting lines lift,
Prize poignant plot grand gestures gift.

Ceasing thinking 
Love with love inking
Tranquil heart still
Awareness unblinking

Patterns that have been
Habit routine
Mind-body cage
Dulls our soul’s sheen

Divine energy flow
Blissful and mellow
Elixirous mist
Imbibed in stillness slow

Both, the material
And the ethereal
Even our dreams
Everything is real

He looks so cool
This ample fool
Pride dulls sharp tool


He wears a smile
Ample warm style
Buzz of old miles


He frames a gaze
Shares wonder's maze
Talks beyond craze


He hurls that swirl
In slurpy twirl
Sense twisted world


He knows not how
Yet strays right now
Beyond just how

Life 
armed with the fates
   of futility
   besieges.
So be it  with the rose,
   her beauty  asway,
   pushed around
   by breezy happenchance,
powerless to stop   
   her petals
   to wither   then to drop
   in faithless raw
      betrayal,
As her beauty   of the moment
  dulls to naught
but yet   another yesterday
  of faded
  bloom....

In this autumn of our season how the gold and silver vie
in heart-warming brilliant colour, precious as the days gone by,
though our spring and summer's ended and we walk in given grace,
each seasons owns its treasure, and reveals its hidden place.
A sure and certain promise, dulls what wintertime portends,
There will be another season, and this one’s without end....

The story of the heart is the hardest to understand.
When you are at your weakest,
Love gives you the power to carry on.
At your strongest, 
It can rip through your soul.
The process never changes.
Elation or despair,
It's a two edged sword that never dulls.
No armor has been made to protect you from it.
Even though you fear it, 
Still you rush to embrace it....

If I were like the moon,
The brightest I would be.
A reflection of the sun,
the world dulls its light on me.

That darkness comes between us, 
I so long for the suns glow, 
to shine so warm and bright,
So God's love will always show.

Mankind is like the moon, 
God's son, Our sun is Jesus.
Our prayers are the power, 
They battle the world that lies within us....

…waiting’s knife
slices time in broader swaths
stacking jagged moments
chaffing minutes raw, in existential unease
…one second snags the next
                       …the knife dulls
moments fray and shred
tomorrow folds today; time’s teeth - rounded
memories meld a transcendent balm
deeply rubbed by fading voices

a hospice hallway dims…
one light - grows brighter...

My temper is fiery
It wants to break loose
Your passion is icy
So tender, so smooth

Your touch it feeds me
It wills me to stay
The coldness it dulls me
Controlling my rage

Always we dance dear
Pulling close than apart
Your touch leaving me frostbit
My fire wanting to ignite

We are perfectly tempered
Us two, you and I
I keep us warm
When you're cold on the inside...
