Lamenting Blossom

Lamenting Blossom

Shed not tears of grief.
Light forestalls your requiem.
Glorifying life.

Alone

Ascending on my own
Lamenting positively while no one's around
Orbiting and subsiding
Negotiating with my imaginary ghosts
Eager to reach my goals

By wasting time lamenting of past failures 

We deprive ourselves of future successes!

Premium Member Cardinal Reminder

weeping willow cries
tears of pure joy in heaven
lamenting a kind soul found
cardinal zips from sky
landing on earthly willow
reminding us of others

Life

Live the life
Leave the living knife
Lamenting develops argument
Lame limbs clustered combined in the cut
Life has no lies
Lander and lander but lii pays.

Howling lamenting 
staring into her white gem
pearl ivory face 
Happiness one pure virtue 
dripping starlight tears over






A dream of great beauty

Undesired Rain

Rain on rooftop gently pelts and slowly drips;
beneath the gust-battered brenches owls complain...  
cooing and lamenting not to make it stay,
unless it tapers.

Premium Member Most Of All

So hungry, high, holy, hazy, and most of all homely.
So crazy, cute, cunning, cuddly, and most of all corny.
So lovely, longing, lamenting, looney, and most of all lonely.

Premium Member Lamenting

The songs by that weekend guy
Had me weakened to the point I'd cry.
Though wishing we could have a weekend together,
At the same time I am wishing we never met each other.

Any sum of time we spent lamenting over past failures,

Is precious time that is stolen from our future successes!

Premium Member Always Taking L's

My life's always been full of so much love, lust, and longing,
As well as shallow lovemaking, loneliness, losses, lamenting.
Feelings old and new within me are always lingering.

Bill

Balancing accounts, my most hated chore, Invoices piling higher than ever before. Lists of too many charges haunt me today, Lamenting the weight of each bill to pay.

Raindrops
Crying on glass
Lamenting fading light
Ushering in winter of long
Dark nights.

lamenting ripples of the wandering wind whisper
lone tune in the golden glow of the tranquil twilight
shattered dreams serenade the sunset swansong
memory makes stellar moment in sequined night

Premium Member True Love's Dilemma

A prince was heard to cry and wail,
lamenting the sad fairytale
into which he had been born.
Why was this gentle lad forlorn?
His true love's kiss, against his will,
instead of giving life, would kill.

Be certain, my fellow lamenting friends,

That our Lord,

Has a special place of bliss reserved,

For 

All mothers that reside in His domain!

Premium Member Gate To Lamenting


The old ornate rusted gate creaks and groans with my grief and I fall weeping-

Fifth Place

Midnight

I linger in the quiet

That's all there is.

The moon makes no sound,

the air is still.

There's just me here,

Wondering why the night

Sighs...

Or perhaps it's me, lamenting

Again,

Your demise.

Again,

Your demise.

Premium Member The day before I fell in love with you

I don't remember what I did, it's true,
the day before I fell in love with you.
I guess I might've been attending Shakespeare class
lamenting with Professor Pendergrass
the fate of Juliet Capulet and Romeo Montague.

Premium Member Ghosts

Ghosts 
                  lost, invasive 
       floating,  haunting, wailing
Houses, Mirrors, Mansions, Chandeliers 
   levitating , intruding, lamenting 
           aimless, meddlesome
                      Spirits.

My Beloved’s Abode

World-weary and at the end of my tether
Yonder lies my beloved’s abode
Random as the fallen flight feather
Magic horse for me is the only mode
Critical as it is to bring us together
Lamenting, toward the setting sun I rode.

Lyric

Life’s longing to sing out -
Lovely or lamenting,
Lively in lusty breaths,
Liberates lonely hearts,
Librettos live in love,
Limber lines of stage light
Lyrical luxury.
