Short Erodes Poems

we build ourselves up
into what we want to be...
life's tide erodes us...

International
And in my house
Crime erodes us
Until there is 
Nothing left?...

Watch the edges of my memories
curl slipping out of focus
The abyss slowly erodes
staring at my ethereal hand
it goes...

Moist salty sea breeze coats all things
Slowly erodes metal
Takes away man's buildings ~the thief
Does no harm to nettle

Fear is an evil demon that

Erodes your sense of security, comfort, and safety

As well as hampers your ability to function

Ruining any chance you have of normalcy...

Grey heavenly skies
in reaction to her hurt
clouds so different
In cry, falls, penetration
acid rain erodes her so

slowly and finally
we reach the end of the road 
where the light goes out 
and the darkness erodes 
the memories of our past
and the future
That will not come
dimmer and dimmer 
is the eternal sun...

Layered pebbles,
worry stacked against sand
sand stacked against the sea

shifting whimsy
erodes the insignificant

sifting,

grain by grain
digesting raw discord.

There's peace
in the bosom of change....

Life erodes the body; riding its waves, leaves one drained.
Spirit’s education, is wear and tear; the mortal is cut short.  
Beware the reaper’s scythe; the scalpel of death, cuts swift and clean.

A mind erodes
Each day more,
Further down roads
Never been before.

A heart explodes
Early one morning,
Before life corrodes,
Left without warning.  

There’s no choice
How we go.
Remember to rejoice,
You never know....

Doubt

                              erodes

                           confidence

                           demolishes

                               Faith!

innocence pawned by youth
and paid by the ages 
i knew love as she danced with her eyes closed
but memories dull
at the feet of time
longing to no longer care
as daytime spits forward 
and nighttime takes the bows
and life erodes itself
from within...

FLOOD
deluge
overflow

banks of mind erodes
emotions surge unbound
inundates yearning meadow

"debris of time present submerged"

A savior to all but myself, a lantern to light the path for others...Who will light my way, when 
will the meaning of my words make sense in my mind? The rock that is my soul slowly 
erodes battered by lonely waves on a starlit beach. Until there is nothing left but pebbles in 
the sand.......

Thinking
of you,
of a time
before the blood of grapes,
in tides of red,
erodes
the tombolo*
of us.

Wondering
if the past 
in the future,
flowing over
like a disordered rogue wave,
deposits swashmarks
in the sand of me.

*A bar of sand joining an island to the mainland....

Resentment is poison, let it out of your system, soon
Don't bottle ill-will and let it simmer, do forgive and forget
Any slight. Lest it erodes your soul, hold no grudge.

Warm sand runs through his fingers as he builds,
a sand castle filled with elusive dreams.
Waves splash.

Incoming tide erodes the foundation -
the castle falls and crumbles at his feet.
Waves splash.

Time and tide wash his castle out to sea.
Sighing, he takes a breath and starts over.
Waves splash....

Cry to the sky while Earth erodes beneath your feet
Doing anything to strengthen against certain defeat
Start from the beginning of something once finished
Never let things brightest to you become diminished 
You might not know the cost of what could have been
Blindness may also be that which remains to be seen...

Eloquent streaming waters
Aqua Pearl ripples covers
As the wind kisses so mutters
Erodes embankment covers

Meadowlarks and Honeybees
Springs essence so surrounds me
On breezes through the lee's
Nature soul callings be

You do not see it,
 Taste, or touch it,
 It is simply there,
 Like a blank stare.

 A void it consumes,
 Nothing else resumes,
 It permeates and erodes you,
 It commands and owns you.

 It heeds no other master,
 It serves no other.
 
 My Mist,
 Feels Bliss.

The storms of life, they twist and fray
Rain slowly erodes our values away
Caught up in this hectic pace
Can lose ourselves without a trace
Sometimes it seems it's all illusion
Leaving us in great confusion
Wind and rain, blowing sands
The future nestled in our hands
Be wary of the constant strife
Lest we become the storms of life...

the wrath of death's hands
like the lash of sea
erodes the edges
of my weary soul
with its unseen force

i am battered
bruised once again
emotions stir
inside my core

rock to sand
gibraltar
crumbling down

i fight
against

time

The hate that uglifies a sweet face
The betrayal that makes trust fade 
The enmity that isolates 
The sadism that inflicts hate
The envy that breeds futile hostilities
The grudges that darkens memories
The jealousy that erodes satiety
The ill-will rewarded with vanity
The long distances, weights and heights
Don't weigh us down like the burdens of the heart...

Gratitude
Written: by Miracle man
November 23, 2020

“Attitude of gratitude” is more than an impression,
Gratitude erodes rough spots that trigger aggression
I praise God’s name when HE aligns my attitude
and view my glass half full due to my gratitude
Things are seldom as bad as they might first appear
Gratitude counts blessings while discounting fear

The wisdom of the wind is motion,
Wandering ecstatic, yet sublime.

The charity of rain is laving lotion,
Cleansing residues of urban grime.

The genius of the sun is searing passion—
Violent, erotic rampant fire.

But cooling clay and earth we wear in fashion
Finally, when our hot hearts expire.

Our flesh erodes.  Our bones flake too.
But souls need neither…born, anew....
