Premium Member Fare Thee Well

there are
merciless 
words that shatter joy
falling with tears of farewell
as sorrow’s wayward ghosts come fleetingly home

By means of polished steel sheets

Autumn Walk

Crimson trims the trees
Sky is fleetingly adorned
Crunch through Autumn drifts

Premium Member forever forbes flying flawlessly

forbiding forever forbes to fly forward flawlessly foruitously
falsely fascinated by five fools following fleetingly frantic
flipflops fervently and furiously.

Moony Musings

Moonlit moonrise over a moony moonshine,
Starry-eyed stargazers beneath a starlit starscape,
Wandering wanderers wander in wonder,
Until fleeting hearts no longer fleetingly flutter


MY DREAM IN LIFE


      
        My secret dream,
  It was always about being a firefly,
       lighting up the world,
          brightening life,
            even if only
       a little and fleetingly...!

Fireflies, lithe torch bearers Flaming bugs on small wings Fairies of the dark night Freelance electricians Fleetingly come and go Flitting incandescence Flickering before eyes.

Sakura

clustered sweet stars cling
fleetingly  pink  white  beauties
fragrant umbrellas
billowing warm pink blizzards
floating down gently on streams

The Solitary Introvert

What happens, whilst of that fear-rush
Face-blown, if fleetingly, when this
Front door opens?
The mind broadens!

Whose threshold's gain I too weighed.
Inner, outer, secure, insecure
Where, that distant
Worlds meet; two. Pant.

Premium Member Magic

this summer morning
sun,highlights the pampas palm
bathing in the heat-
as nature,in siesta
celestial heaven meets

lazy,rests my soul
as contentment's shalom flows
silence has its say-
fleetingly,nothing matters
then,in thankfulness..I pray

The Heart of the Matter

The circumference
Is narrower than the height
And it can take flight
But has no wings
The quadrants four
No less, no more
Is all it needs
As rhythm bleeds
Four chambers 
-four halls
Yet no walls
Fleetingly occupied
Stabbed
And often broken
By simple words
Softly spoken

Premium Member Lost Forever

A Taste of Honey. A Tender Loving Kiss.
Such simple and great pleasures in life do truly exist.
Don't allow yourself any lost opportunities.
Precious moments pass us by so fleetingly.
This is your one and only opportunity to enjoy your life.
It will all be lost forever after you die.

Frittered Away Fleetingly

I turned my left eye over to blink
my gaze took me right to the brink
I couldn't speak,  blinded
something concealed deep inside it
really has tried to hide it
C'mon now, help me find it
can't recall or even remind it
so chalk it down as one of those, oh nevermind's of it!

Premium Member In a Split Second

THE HOURGLASS NEBULA


Be the volatile now
In the span of a 
Short lived present
Welcoming its fortuitous
Ephemeral presence
That fades towards a
Momentary existence
Whereto, it fleetingly vaporizes
Into the vacuumed history
Belonging to an eternal
  
                         ~~second.

Forbidden Romance

The sun drenched days turn dreary and gray
As my dreams of love fade slowly away
In the depths of my soul, an ache so deep
For a love that's unattainable, I weep

Like a rose that withers untouched by a bee
I watch love's beauty pass ever so fleetingly
Forlorn and ignored, my heart's silent plea
To be noticed and to be set free.

Premium Member Such a Tease

She makes an early showing, 
her warm breath blowing;
an Eastern sunrise glowing, 
flowers up and growing.

Melted icebergs flowing, 
men on tractors sowing;
loose dirt clods throwing, 
barnyard roosters crowing.

Suddenly, it's snowing; 
frosty winds now mowing.
Wily smile, all-knowing; 
fleetingly, she's going.

Spring . . . such a tease

Denial

Blindly given a part solely mine
Caress of promises fleetingly sublime

No crevice untouched, valley of mounds
Shadow warnings by release of sounds

A single illusion of two made whole
Broken pieces of one innocent soul

Hands slither to corrupt with poison
Ruins the flesh for his own reason

Barren exposed, no longer a use
Foolish girl, never to be a muse

Premium Member Simply That and Nothing More

I am but a paltry pebble
washed upon the lakeshore.
A tumbled piece of agate.
Simply that and nothing more.

I am but a mere grain of sand
raised from the seabed floor,
sodden from an ocean wave.
Simply that and nothing more.

I am but an insignificant human,
a dinky speck of dust; an eyesore
fleetingly alive upon the Earth.
Simply that and nothing more.

A Lazy Sunday

A lazy Sunday afternoon
For reading and reflecting,
For crossword puzzles, Words with Friends
And on-the-phone connecting.

The dreary weather makes me feel
No guilt for staying put.
I did my morning walk so there’s
No goofing off afoot.

Well, maybe just a little bit
For closets should be tackled,
But it’s real nice from chores to be
Just fleetingly unshackled.

On the Gallows

Lead me into, the green darkness, under
the nude flames.
It was hurting;the golden sun.

Out of full moon, werewolves would
come out
chasing the flesh, the long limbs

of silence, in asci of fluids, stopped
in tracks.
No seed will grow now in wilderness.

My extended shade becomes anarchic
if fleetingly.
A miracle falling like a hurricane.

Counting Sheep

We persist in running again.
Eyes widened by experience, open like wounds.
Heavy jaws of ruminated
Portions.
Hallucinations of wolves and foxes and mean people,
Ripped members and massacres could
Always and never happen. Our lives
Mean nothing while living in
Tastebuds of animals and those who profit
From our meat and coarse hair.
They fade in our mind, hitherto
We persist in running,
To fleetingly feel alive.

Premium Member Good Health Rarely Gets Appreciated

I never appreciate my good health
until  I get a disease, illness or infection,
Then I pray and wish and hope to get her back.

She flits away, laughing, for she knows
I never appreciate her when she is here.
I don’t even remember she exists
until I get a disease, illness or infection.

Maybe she has a deal with my body
To upset me every so often, so
I will fleetingly appreciate her for
two seconds when I return to good health.

Deleted

I am on pause,
an unmanned navigation light,
blinking elsewhere. Seeking a woman
I loved before love became virtual.

She is still there
on a website for all lost
and deleted affairs.

In that vast starry universe
of nothing much, against all odds,
I find her at the edge of an old longing.

No way to download her now,
she passes fleetingly through
my stalled and static mind,

takes once more a none-stop trajectory
through my heart.

Premium Member Life Is Tenuous

Fleetingly the day begins
Clouds roam in and out
Cold air seizes my imagination
Shaken the oak tree melts into the driveway
The cardinal pecks away at a piece of seed
Cat watches with avid interest
Life is tenuous

Storm comes up suddenly
Rain pelts us with ice cold jabs
Warmth was not appreciated until now
Clouds have dissipated 
Gray white sky winks angrily 
Oak tree disappears 
Blurry eyed people are bewildered
How did this happen?
Life is tenuous

Death Darts

when wind blows a gale 
leaves pushed pulled tempest tossed
I see life fleetingly aloft and 
gone in gasp and gust

when clocks chime and chip away at time
inevitable and intangibly present
it’s the fool’s errand to be angry at an hour

when cars zip like bullets
when plugs crackle into life
when scissors snap too close to skin
when fragile chick plummets from nest

death darts ahead of life 
a promiscuous predator circling 

circling even as you say you’re leaving
