Premium Member Moon Warning

The sky warmly hugs the stars from the weeping moon, as the moon
fearfully watches the world slowly crumbling, warning of impending doom.

NO ONES TALKING, EVERYONE IS SILENT
AS WE WAIT FOR THE IMPENDING STORM TO BREAK

WAITING FOR THE WAR TO BEGIN

Impending shadow 
As sun hides behind dark clouds 
Lurk as a menace
Trying to rob inner peace
Winning unexpected trials

Evening Shadows

Evening shadows
show eerie dark faces
following me home,
watching my guarded
steps as an owl hoots
to warn me of impending
danger so close.

Premium Member This Curse Deibide Baise Fri Toin

Blood curdles 
the entire room just startles;
Floating a banshee howls loud 
proud;

Dire message 
of an impending passage;
Not a thing could make this curse 
worse.

Lasting Love

A tender touch-
are we asking to much
for love to last, let's say,
a month, a week, a day?

Ageless love-
impending time;

     So rare!
     So precious!
     So divine!

Heatwave

shining way up high, rays descend
unrelentingly to earth
nothing escapes the hot
scorching, burning heat.
hills and dales.
impending
natures
ease.

Imagine

Imagine.

The smell of a baby
days from the womb.

The smell of a rose
when it's in full bloom.

The smell of a corpse
exhumed from its' tomb.

The smell of fear
and its' impending doom.

Freedom's Fate 2023

Long life, lived in full, longing for death's impending embrace;
my fate's final freedom wavers on two fronts, like old Simeon's.
Departure's deep desire is delayed by a first great grandchild.

Tanka

Tanka
There are two visions 
The irresponsible bygone
And the impending  
Together they disappoint…big 
As we just live in the now.

So very sad, how our past seems abandoned A warning of what's ahead, of what we've been handed Of the impending doom Entering the next room Though it feels like forever, never take things for granted
Form: Limerick

Doom

I hear sirens of my demise
wailing in the distance,
warning me of impending doom,
their strangling tune
discordant and angry,
marching toward certain death,
reaper’s fingers, an ancient breath,
and I have nowhere to hide.

Surely
Ignorance is bliss,
Going about
Not knowing
Of impending
Finality.
Times end.
Happy knowing
Each day
Together
Is special.
Messianic times.
Earnestly search your
Soul.

Hands Of Destiny


               No one can predict when the final verdict of time shall be

               Only the hands on the clock of my still impending destiny

Premium Member Life and Death

A leaf, floating downwards, comes to rest upon grass. Escapee cutting off the bonds, unaware of its impending demise; the umbilical cord severed, now page-pressed memory; dried skin cracking, A leaf.

Predictions

A soothsayer vigorously announced impending doom,
    To the gathered townsfolk causing such gloom,
            But when a lightning bolt struck 
              The predictor was out of luck,
      Laughing, they swept him away with a broom.

Premium Member Fear

Fear lies effortlessly in portending wait to bare the intrinsic risk of chance. View it not just as impending fate nor play its victim by circumstance... 1/10/2019 "Fear is a slinking cat I find between the lilacs of my mind"-Sophie Tunnell
