Snow
Melting slowly
Water flowing
Down mountain.

Soil eroding
Channel widening
Stream flowing swiftly....

Along its carved, storied history
Winds a river eroding with time
Leaving behind unforgotten trails
Once ago, peacefully flowing by...

water’s decisions…
river eroding  tall walls
natural  structures

I unwittingly caused a vast chasm~ 
                                     where despair is eroding love.

Picking and choosing,
really? That’s not how it works.
All or nothing isn’t easy,
create that mindset now!
Twice as instrumental 
in the execution of exquisite,
champions challenge themselves.
Eroding calluses with their will....

across the seascape
visions infuse with sunlight -
footprints wane in tide 

summer waves roil sand
eroding lines and dunes –
salt water stings wound 

Summer’s orbit ends
fog chills exhaled breath - 
a lone ship calls...

Demons whispers
Eroding sanity
Persistently questioning
Relations history
Ever present
Silently absorbing
Suffering alone
Idyllic fantasy
Oppressing reality
None can
Know misery
I feel
Laughter masks
Losers surprise
Sorry end...

Reflective Soul

the bottom of my coffee cup
swirling darkness
an extinguished cigarette
ashes to ashes
an enormous smile
eroding sculpture
once pounding heart
barely audible
creative mind
dulled by thought

reflective soul........

Dole
Killed
Slowly
Wailing soul
With an expiry
That is not perceived with the eyes
But is eroding the deep fibers of thou being
Until thee become stagnant without feeling profound emotions that stir your senses

Simple specks of Sand…
Force falls in love with Steam
Gentle gazes through Glass…
Blow breaths in life from Dream
Utile uses into Urn…
Gravity gives in cry for Lust
Mantle mazes lay Mosaic….
Eroding ends return to Dust

A sky once covering is now falling upon us
Destroying histories where societies stood
Taking without clues, lives truly enriched
Flooding away a past, eroding the memories
Becoming only pertaining to moving forward
An ending, for certain, not maybe or could...

Life reflects real , fake is deflected . Only real can hold steadfast in the spend of time . Only fake is shattered by the pressures of the world . The authentic last , never eroding but strengthening . Only the real respect real , fake merely hates or imitates ....

I can feel the tearing,
coming apart again,
stitches dropped 
carelessly.

Weakened by wear,
too thin, now, 
to hold
together.  

Entropy at work,
forces of nature
slowly eroding 
integrity.

Too thin to hold
together, we grow
apart again
carefully....

The river kicks up its heels in swinging sway and lilt.
Winding downstream in a sinuous snaking stream bed it built
By eroding outer bends, building up its inner bends with silt
Defying the straight and easy path, which like a flippant lover it jilt...

Her anger is a slow acid eroding her soul
Looking only at the small picture, and never the whole
Her conscience, controlled by agony and defeat
Her emotions, an eruption of thoughts make-believe
Feelings strong enough to rock the earth
All diverged from one angle, Hurt...

Waves rolling over the sand
Waves pounding, eroding
The boundary of the ocean beaten
By a massive force of water

Beaches beaten but still glistening with the wetness
Glistening like tears of a thousand times thousand
Whales moan, dolphins play
To ease the sadness for today...

Hungered yearning for justice;
Crumbling statues with deafened ears,
Teardrops eroding mighty mountains,
As silt gathers year by year;
The crimes of gluttonous heroes  
Told in each layer of collected memory,
Let one be mixed with rust,
Of those shackles from which
We were freed....

Exploding and Unloading

Ergonomics and energy are exploding,
And are all situated for an unloading;
Will occur,
Can endure,
While iron will be eroding and corroding.

and his book, "Undeniable."...

I have again become empty 
by undoing
a disturbing thought.

Unsexing 
the sputtering stillness
of a Robin.

Tender bruises
on the pink heart.
A bird was flying away.

Little tears 
come down from the swollen
river in spate.

Pain lingers
as you want an answer
from an eroding dune.

I will not beseech you
stop stuffing yourself near to exploding
even though I feel a need to
take the sunflowers, blossoms eroding
heads bowed in solemn, silent foreboding
save the seeds
ignore the needs 
of one so wild
and bold as he feeds
to allay the memory of freeze on this August day so mild...

The world around me
   Cracking
     Eroding
      Falling away

All that remains are fragments
   Hopes
    Dreams
     Of what used to be

Walking on tip ties
  Balancing
    Teetering
      Barely hanging on

Feeling the need to let go
  Release
    Freedom
     To finally feel whole...

Lost in a cold, dark world. 
Over population is the norm. 
Like cancer not letting go, 
darkness consumes my home. 
Strangers stalk my street, 
barren souls underneath. 
Zombies walking the earth 
searching for new birth. 
Bodies eroding into each 
other, fire ignites within, 
allowing new life to begin....
