Broken, rotting, and dead.
You picked it up and revived me.
You brought me back from the dead.

Dusty as time;
Zen Flesh, Zen Bones

The shelves are packed
Not an empty gap in sight
The books are dusty
Men and women lie in the books
But the books are dusty

Springtime sunset sweet,
open all windows for a treat,
begone dusty air,
rebirth of earth at window seat.

side by side
on the dusty bookshelf
twin jars of formaldehyde
slowly drying
in poison preserve
my heart always
to guard yours

a hundred year
blinds covered
in dusty
of the bathroom
exactly
cutting across
on a sunny afternoon
with the space between them.

Murky of echoes as ancestors surround them
Dusty whilst heat stuns my skin and breath
The sun settles as the pyramids carve me a memory

childhood home
a cinder block
on a dusty road
children still climb and play
around the same dogwood

I have heard you still play them
Those olde, sad songs you loved
Spirited fingertips touch ...
Upon the dusty keys
And haunting melodies

Just as a ton of sorrows bent my weary back--
Over the mountain the sun struck the water--
You smiled and shuffled down the dusty track.

Good old Simon’s got quite a name
Face’s fame fits our bright gold frame
Nonetheless, the old dusty mouth
Either’d be wiped or would go south.

A lady I know is quite busty
A size which doth make men grow lusty
Her cleavage display
Emboldens the gay
No worries they'll ever get dusty!

Nothing but dusty boxes of sentimental relics

If I stand
For one more second
I will collapse
And the cold, stone floor
Will gather me in its arms
Enveloping my stiff body
With dusty dreams

dusty, winding road
cotton crops glowing bright white

years pull away from
petals fragile limp dusty
which curl as they dry
aging stops all former bloom
once smelling sweet with vigor

When you see the dusty horizon sets
Wonder and awe inspired sets
The spectrum of visual sights The soft glow of moonlight
Setting with tired sun

Even love when fret
its essence lost last year
though smiled
but still flirting
a dusty horizon
of course, a tale too vapid
for me to overwhelm.

Pondering two thoughts
about this dusty old room.
At first I feel abandoned
and a bit of gloom
My emotion turned to sad
Wanting to decorate glad.

Dad's workshed dusty
cobwebs, cans and jars hold stuff
old tools hang on hooks.
That day I wept my Dad's death
and my first poem was born.

Dusty windows reflected fading dreams,
Of items treasured now lost in schemes
Of hopes long lost or freshly dashed,
Left in limbo as cheques were cashed.

they ache from bending hot day picking....
union of voices spanish tongue
in produce fields dusty sweating farmworkers....
