Wintry Satori

Buddha cast in bronze

--- heaped high w/ new-fallen snow ---

smiles unfazed, dwindles

cross-legged in the garden

under the sky's vast length, breadth.

Rule of the Monarchs

Who can capture you
With a glass jar held face down
While your wings flutter wildly
And your hope dwindles
I watched somwhere afar off
Please let my butterfly fly

Sinking Sun

Sweet Dear Moment
Sitting At It's Peak
Constant Fading Glory
In What You Never Seek
The Light That Dwindles
Stricken By Intent
The Slow Sinking Sun
Just Time So Well Spent

Dwindling Hope

Hope
Dwindles
Changing course
Of time and space
With glacial winds suffocating my whole
And absence of color within the snow
With the harshness
Of yearning
Dwindles
Hope.

Spring Inside the Soul

Sweet fragrant delight,
Embracing fields refresh souls,
Morning renews earth.

Buds blossom, awake
Revitalize a longing,
Night dwindles away.

ebon night dwindles

     cloaking mournfulness of heart—

a street lamp flickers

Day's drama comes to a drop
Deep blinds disseminated
Disclosing the doors of dusk
Deathly deafness developed
Darkness deters and dwindles
Discomfort and drudgery
Downtime for an endless deal

Light Less

Deep down it's dark, silent.
No one here no one there 
its just me and me.

I see the bright light 
To get to it I squabble
With ardour I embrace 

The light dwindles away 
Dusky and me it is again 
But I'll live for light

Premium Member The Lingering of Longing and Life

'Neath nocturnal bloom
the essence of self
dwindles in a pillowed horizon
twilight dies a whisper -
your voice in my ear…

the pale goddess rises
mothering angel’s tears
tending till dawn 
a moon garden vigil
bearing witness to your visit

Time Flies

'Tempus fugit' we cannot deny
for suppleness dwindles and mirrors can't lie.
As wrinkles start spreading and children depart
the truth of this saying hits home like a dart.

Beyond the Draw

Laboring in obscurity
my dog forgets my name
The hours pass, the moments fade
with every day the same

My faith a light that dwindles
belief the final straw
In darkness splayed, my hope betrays
—no luck beyond the draw

Listen to poem:
Shadows Densely Cast
David J Walker

How soon the night begins to call
Fall is falling fast

Shadows thinly passing all 
Daylight dwindles past 

A crusted moon 
a ragged ball

auric emblems last 
Hold your breath 

against a death
shadows densely cast

Mountain-River

Mounting mass of land 
mount of rocks, mountain laurels
let's get up on top.

A copious flow seems
flowing through the years, beware
rivulet it ends.

Rivers and Mountains
retain before it dwindles
let young ones rejoice.

Tire Swing

Swaying in the breeze 
Amidst the dancing leaves
A subtle rise and fall
As Mother Nature breathes

Crisp, refreshing air
Twirls and spins her hair
She giggles, up then down 
Of time, she’s unaware 

A pleasant world, she knows
Joy dwindles as she grows
This moment, all is fair
Her innocence aglow

Heed love’s voice, conscience whispering Else flounder in darkness Pure of heart feel bliss throbs spearing Aligned with That oneness Ego stalks us in stealth Yielding dwindles soul’s health Love divine, our sole wealth There’s no choice Heed love’s voice 04-March-2022 Quietus

Lavi Sa Led

Purity dwindles inside of me,

the longer I stay alive.

The only thing promised in life is experience

and for sure that one day we'll die

The truth isn't hiding, it's us who is hard to find,

searching everywhere but inside.

Some hunt for a meaning and fight over who is right.

I've just learned to enjoy the ride.

Tumbling Tiers Throttle

salient seal surges
fondling felon vices
tumbling twain smirks
leering lusty lurch
per punctured zeal
moaning mists breed

wielded will whooshes
dripping damped drizzles
seeped'n saucy stinks

haughty heels hanker
oozing taunted trigger
airy atmosphere flickers

tumbling tiers throttle
dangling dark dwindles.

Premium Member Against Stain Of Night

The swivel of her skirt casts a pale silhouette around a thin frame-- her face riddled by a strange look obscured by dazzle of yellows from a moonlit skyline and lamp posts: Bright cluster of blooms dwindles against her stoic gaze, her dark blouse stained by some gauze of grief-- she walks poised ... yet anonymously alone.

Help Lost

Head scrambled, bejangled, and no longer together. 

Everlasting you said, but nothing lasts forever.

Letting me think that, was a trick but not clever.

Percentages say you’re the reason of my endeavor.



Laugh as you will its all good.

Our time dwindles at the rate it should.

Still you’d stop the time if you could.

To bad this is real life, or you would.

Africa For Sale

Feel the privatization in its might
A bullet in the African soul-
The sectors sold
The branches squared.

Our pride dwindles
When our Africa is slowly auctioned
To forces of stealth
Ruiners of our democracy.

Our masters slowly gather the spilled milk
Stride by stride
Grinning at the auction table
Their eyes glued on the politician’s billboard:
AFRICA FOR SALE.

Premium Member Daylight Dwindles

Daylight dwindles, and as darkness descends Night wakens, and clouds of hungry bats take flight, hunting moths fluttering in the pale moonlight, before Dawn ushers in daybreak. Dew, like a trillion teardrops, falls right on cue, and ebony supplants a sky of blue; as the horizon blushes scarlet while unveiled stars start to twinkle above.
