The Invitation

Longer fall shadows
and a cool breeze that blows off
summers' last fervor,

invite September
into the dwindling days of
yet another year.

Down by the dubious Dutchman’s dell
Did anyone know
He was a dynamo?
I did, but I was sworn to never tell.

She Is As Lonely As Me

She is as lonely as me
And people are so insensitive
So, as my friends
Are dwindling in this world,
I’d rather be abandoned
I’m so reliable
And you all are so not

Premium Member The Burning Soul

The life of crying, 
Loss harmful flames to my eyes, 
The bloodshot eyes bursting out, 
Withering soul, without love, 
Dwindling out of control, 
The life of a burning soul.

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.

Loved all those times we met for tea;
My friends from our old garden club.

Ravaged by the sandstorm of time, 
future crumbles in debris
on the dwindling dunes of despair.
In the dust of dereliction, 
I find you fervently morphed 
into the mirage of memory.

One Last Drink

On a barstool
somewhere
in a lost America
with a stranger
who calls me friend
All options 
dwindling
my fate in his hands
—and nearly at the end

Premium Member Broken

I am broken
dwindling down to nothing
once we shared passionate moments 
my mind questions the thought 
to be or not to be with you 
as we simply dispose of each other 
in this vicious cycle of life

Premium Member Nights of Fog

Against the muffled voice of night
Fluffy fogs rise to diffuse lights.

Bitter soul ravaged my angst
Dwindling my life’s grit…cold, numb
‘Till flicks of street lamp glistened
Strength clears ghastly fog.

Early Spring

Rusty glow hovers—
setting sun’s wan glint
yields to grasp of night—
terms of surrender, resolute.

Halfway round the compass rose,
paling rays summon fleeting
alpenglow, fading echo of
dwindling winter snow.

A Scarcity Most Bittersweet

A scarcity most bittersweet;
The scarcity of years
Troubles not the days of youth,
But - in time- appears

The dwindling of our moments,
A universal dread
The dying count as beggars,
The bankrupt count as dead
