wild tigers dwindled to few

Clay


A wind bird 
Free falling 
Dwindled to dust

He dwindled with his brass flute
Which tossed him out of his boot
The symbols kicked his ass
Then called him third class
He thought the flute was a brut...

Never ever
Has life ever skipped over you
You were blessed
Given every cent of love
Provided with every dollop of care
And when resources dwindled
You replenished...

My readership has dwindled lately
After many years this has disturbed me greatly
Are my lims getting boring
Is my ego showing
Trying hard to still be creative faithfully...

He lurks amongst his words,
so suddenly it began.

Goaded into submission,
the inks flow dwindled. 

The pen dropped to the floor,
to stumble and fall,
to his will.

With passion pulsating
our inflamed frenzy
impassioned our desire

Our eyes afire
our love could not tire
a love so personal

Now mellowed by seasons fled
togetherness is kindled
where passion has dwindled...

Of age she becomes now
Old and weak she appears
Grey has her hair grown
Shrunk and dwindled she turns
Fallen are the boobs of hers
Broken are the teethes but two
Day and night on the couch she sits
When I was young she would say
My beauty, infallible and irresistible...

Though Time has dwindled me to motes,
My dust remains in sunset’s light—
A pattern faintly forms and floats
Discernible before your sight.

Indefinite and vague, yet there,
A wisp of what I was persists
Split-second long upon bright air—
Then vanishes in violet mist....

 from the dazzling dusk till darkest of dawn
      demons deliver their delicate song
     a dreadfully dance delightfully done
 for daunting the dead delinquent the sun                       
    a daring dull day dismissive of night 
 it dwindled the dark then demanded light...

As my eyes dwindled on the first glimpse
helplessness racked a stifled heartbeat.
It was there I set my foundations,
my structure for a hope strong tower 
that would shield you from fates cruel blows.
My love for you was evident,
it seen me through the darkest days.
You held my heart in them searching eyes....

River so deep, fathomless
attractive, intriguing

The stories
your dark waters 
concealed

My canoe crashed
obscure boulder,
inconspicuous blockade

So much for my wisdom
and being older

The watercourse
became narrow
the stream
became weak

My majestic river
dwindled
to an unpretentious creek....

Stealing my dignity in the name of love,
you took back all control

The past and future trading in place,
all memory untold

Stealing my dignity in the name of love,
child—father to the man

Whose power has dwindled and wheels come off,
with freedom all but banned

Luminosity of the despondent star in the celestial land above
Had grown to be caliginous in nature 
Dwindled its crimson gleam

Dissolved into newfound restlessness, 
Parched, dark, waterless spring
Entreating for even a luster

Named a blessing buried underneath cloaks
The last cries of
A twinkle.

Flicker....

This man never found the bed out of bounds, 
his wife liked he explored ivory mounds.
Her dwindled assets age got,
he disliked, monk he was not,
ventured out in search of youthful new grounds.

Come, ghost mine, just for a minute
Let us dance you and I between the waves and the dwindled
	Feather of a dream.
In this narrowed path where the stars and the night
	Will flow through our skins. 

Come, my journey!
I remember you, and you are the only 
		One who had made me cry a hundred of miles away 
			By the unholy despair....

I was once walking through the wood,
in the mist, silenced hush.
Sky rocketed trees,
graced by the tender eve.

Quacks; quivers; splash; and whirl,
faded into a whisper.
Sky fell asleep; stars twinkled,
but dwindled to disappear.

Emptiness of the green,
I felt within,
and with a sweet touch, gently
the mist devoured me completely....

Romance is kindled
by fiery ashes dwindled

Cares not for anguish
wants to clear languish

Prepare for the searing
expectancy is cheering

Figure craves wholeness
restoring health focus

Connecting with deities
rejecting ancient theories

Replacing the torment
with ageless advent

Let us commence fasting
our creation everlasting...

Long ago they met
a night filled with sweet romance
igniting two flames
life took them separate ways
fire cooled, dwindled to embers

sparks flew once again
when fate threw them together
rekindling the fire
cherished love led to marriage
twin flames burned: deep in each heart

Once love was strong and shiny new in spring. Then blazing passion shadowed summer's sun. And dreams were verdant veils that covered all with flames that dwindled slowly into fall. Then autumn brought a contrast to the love. Now bitter icy blizzards douse love's spark. From day of cheerful warmth so chilling frost. And leave to hearts that ache for spring's love lost....

First, let me say I'm sorry
This isn't your fault, it's mine
I don't feel for you what you feel for me
And I know that seems so unkind

But, the passion we used to have
I don't feel it anymore
The flame that burned inside of us
Has dwindled to nothing, and nothing more

I'm sorry for you, who came out of the blue
I fell in love with a girl, but my love is no longer true....

I have no words this sleepy night
that fill my tongue with flair 
my soggy brain's not sharp or bright
more just supports my hair.

The burning flame that fuels the pen
to scribe the shooting stars
has dwindled down to ash again
to leave block's ugly scar.

A good night's rest, my fondest wish
and what will fill the well
with swirling, eager, wordy fish
(the clever ones- no smell)....

Cloaked in a Civil War Cape
Swaggered the fierce
And fearless and cavalier shape:
Proud Ambrose Bierce.

Editor, author and wit,
Bierce had the zest
And courage and cunning to fit
Well in the West.

Then when his days dwindled lean,
Bierce rode away;
Old Mexico swallowed him clean,
Gulping her prey.

Cynics like him are the last
Men to seek fame,
So bitterness out of the past
Still dims his name....

How do you say goodbye
To someone who has shared
So many days so many hopes
So many nights so many dreams

How do you say goodbye
When the love has dwindled
Explanations all been heard
All the tears been shed

How do you go separate ways
Without looking back
Without easing back into one more try

How do you turn and go
How do you start anew
How do you say goodbye
