Spiteful

Spiteful venom 
Spews forth 
Encasing the 
Heart with 
Poison causing
An erosion 
Of the soul 
Asphyxiating 
The love once 
Found within

Premium Member Erosion

Day by day, our lives are worn away
That is nature, needs no undue fuss
But let it be by things we choose to do
And not by things unwilling done to us

Premium Member Erosion

Waves meet the shoreline
Wearing from its erosion
Water pulling apart sand

Drift in the sea of time
Leaving behind corrosion
Flow pushing across land

Expectation

Behind the bank there is a bin liner
Bells were bellow the air belacking
Winds tingle truly the blank bank
As winds wish no warning of erosion of river banks.

a sky
we're water matter
space time

just a sub-mission
of a
relative-at-tea
etching a way

through the
erosion
we call time

Erosion

errors and excuses
repeated every day
over and over again
second place~ a hard space to fill
in tiny drops I die
over and over again
never to heal ~  the erosion of my soul.

Erosion of Time

Time melting away, Dissolving in a slow fade; Never found again. ___________________ Inspired from 'Explosion' By Salvador Dali www.s-kite-art.com/dali/dali04.html

Hollow Drums

Disco burnout,
fever rampant erosion

Empty glances,
mirrored hollow drums

Bleeding, starving,
passive alertness

Madeup, putdown
—treadmill run

Premium Member Cobalt Cragged Peaks

Cobalt cragged peaks amidst clouds 
Cathedrals they are, proud so tall
Years of erosion now shout loud
My eyes now view in total thrall
Their reflections upon natures pure
Sharing many marvels from her brochure
Form: Verse

Fallen Empires

Ambient breeze 
Caressing dead erroded figures 
Gently hewn impressions jest knowingly 
Laughing madly now only pitied 
Quieted remaing stagnant 
Tired useless vessles °
Weathered xylography 
Yesterday's zeitgeist

Trump and Erosion Causing Corrosion

Trump and Erosion Causing Corrosion

Trump's eroded causing things to be corroded;
For someone absurd like him have never voted;
Can hardly wait,
To procrastinate;
His existing intelligence is that of an invalid.

Beauty Makes Me Fall

No need for material gain
Yet again I feel your pain
Why are so afraid
To hold the love grenade
Falling victim the explosion
Weathered and succumbing to erosion 
I may not be the one who holds it all
Through your beauty I fall
Form: Rhyme

Potter's Field

Bursts of mist: drops like
pins against rock and sand
pushed by the wind.

Horizon's edge beneath
evening star, sky darkening
to violet like ink spreading.

Erosion of stone,  
sunken gravesite: souls their voices
the roar of the sea.
Form: Haiku

Erosion

At first it was just a drop
A tear from the heavens
Then two drops
Then more

Within months
the showers grew 
To be a monsoon

Until the runoff 
turned into a roaring river 
Carving an endless canyon
across the porous surface of my soul

The Last Grave

As centuries pass
The seas advance 
To take away the land. 
Lost to the waves
The ancient graves 
Reside below the sand. 

Cliffs that crumble
Remains lay humble
Eroded by the brine. 
The final tomb
To meet the spume
Clings to the shoreline.

Ode To Truss

Politics
B*llocks t*ts
Who's in charge
It's all in bits
Democracy
 policy
Who da boss
It's all silly
Economy
The whatomy
Finance for dummies
U-turn Lizzie
Oh dear oh dear
It's near it's near
A Tory implosion
Government erosion
UK explosion

Vein of Life

Full river flowing into the open bay. 
Standing on a stone bridge. 
On a morning day. 

Levy’s are built to hold water in. 
To stop the cycle of, 
Embankment water erosion. 

A main flowing, vein of life. 
Keeps our world fresh,  and all things alive..

Washed away the tides pull the sands 
Small particles back from the shore
Eroded unkept footsteps tracks 
Of passers by are seen no more
The sun the moon bare witness
To this subliminal demise
A natural course followed daily
Ritualistically done over time

A minimalist reflection on mourning and the erosion of identity, set in the asphodel fields of Greek myth, where unremarkable souls wander without memory…

Demise

Demise

The mansion anchored seaside
erosion
from the wrath of the tide
impelled now reposes 
haunted on the rise.

The ocean floor raw,
uninhabitable,
like a barren womb, 
surrounds the symbol of
the über wealthy 1% 
alienated 

when the world collapsed.

Rudimentary Thoughts

So near and so far 
you live together 
sorting through the detritus of life.

        *

The erosion 
sends back the gravel, 
the sand and silt of human script.

        *

The violence, 
will it end someday ? Asks 
a child playing with a time bomb.
