Spring Seed

Mutely, they languish
in embryonic earth—
wait a rust of water, 
a red blossom
bursting 
from screaming
sepia mother.

Clipped Wings

Trapped within flutter
    Unable to fly soul birds
        Languish like dead fish

upon the wind-
unremembered by thee
and me-

languish in
drawers..forgotten-

repent!
or...in great anger i shall strike thee down with a quote to languish without
meaning for the rest of thine ill begotten grounded days upon rocks of time

Vitriol

The chalice you drink from
is leaden with spite 
and the poison is eating you up 

Step down from your throne
where you languish alone
and sup from a healthier cup

Premium Member The Mighty Oak

Rocked fence rounds tinged of moss,
Laurels languish on limbered lengths aloft,
Faithful oak blessed rays anoint.

Dream

I wrap myself,
in the sweetness,
of your dream.
Languish,
in the mystery,
of your smile.
Your tender gaze,
touches my heart,
With music
born
of
Fire.

R. Damone copyright 2003

Words That Start With L Other Than Love

This beautiful dream is nothing more than my lingering longing confession built to spill I languish to loudly on this lazy summer afternoon
Licking the blood off my papercuts

Citadel of Chaos

Mayhem
Reigns above hills,
Behind city wall lies
Fortified dreams in chaotic
Order.

Languish
In confusion
Of emperor’s torment
Levy madness, out of control
Refrains.

Horizons

Squeeze me
   senseless
in
this life
of unfair outcomes
where
   rhyme and
   reason
have
no supportable
   support
when
the sun dawns
   in the east
and I languish
   forever
behind

Ulexite -1

Opaque opiums surfaced
Brash helpless I languish
Menial remained purpose
Opaque opiums surfaced
Rivulets of solace purchased
By stimulus I am vanquished
Opaque opiums surface
Brash helpless I languish

accustomed to struggling and striving
we know not what is non-volition 
so sink in quicksands of mind
(with which we so identify
soul’s eternal presence) 
where we languish
lost in dreams
hypnotised

 Nature seems to languish in winter
 Trees bare it all as snowflakes fall
 Bird fly south to warmer climes
 Yet all hope is not lost
 Spring will renew their
 Splendor and glow
 Birds will sing

Dame Bllame Game

when with much anguish
you will find what you do wish
in liter languish

head had hit the roof
up Trump always sure to goof
need burden of proof

Trump would play a game
why me would anyone blame
disturbed by a dame

Mallow

Long, low, laden spurs
of bright pink trumpets
lean and languish
shading the grass beneath
that place the greener
for its covering
Above, a bee's incessant hum
perfect pink promises
waving high
against still blue cloudless sky

Because It Just Doesn’t Matter

Innocence slain—mixed feelings
having exhausted
shame—now languish
still sands of time—mocking
a side-ways hour glass.
But it doesn’t matter
because I’m not involved 
and am certainly not guilty.

Premium Member Mystique

Oh, thou art of the greatest mystery,
an enigma of time and place and space
flitting with ethereal quality.
Mind not paling stars that surround this place.
They languish in comparison to thee,
whose soul reflects from thy radiant face.

Premium Member A cry unheard

Come closer, oh dear soul, why this distance? Have we not renounced, both fears and dark desires, that has veiled God’s light from us? Where lies bliss of which scriptures speak? How long must we languish in darkness?

Gold leaves flutter to the ground Winter approaches ~ Maple tree branches are naked, awaiting gloomy graphite clouds to clothe them with snow They languish in stoic stasis, deciduous and disrobed until budding in spring

Makita Xviii: Diary of a Streetwalker

She’d recite the fairest refrains
As upon marble texture I languish
Moxie was her focus to sway me
I, never once yearning to retreat,
Became enveloped by an aura of passion
Spry was the breeze that descended
From the design ‘twas her lovely palms

We live not inland, but on the beach,
where splashing waves and sand crabs reach.
So, we style the place we dwell Outland,
where people's ears are filled with sand.
Like English, our cuisine is blandish,
but our languish is Outlandish.

Touch- Sharon's Acrostic

Towards a setting sun I trudge my weary way
Oblivious of the gathering darkness
Under a sullen and bleeding sky
Chagrined and beside myself with sorrow,
How can heaven stand by and let me languish so?

Cows Can Nearly Say Moon

As i languish in your lunar lick
moonbows hovering in petrol scented skims
coping with copious crescent chapters
Fooling its full face with greying mists that etch like moving scars and wrinkles
Sat in your light, keep me watching while slowly stealing seconds

Premium Member Dog Days of Summer

August days bring sweltering waves of heat.
Lethargic breezes fail to cool our
sun baked bodies, so we languish,
praying for relief ... perhaps
a refreshing rain ... How
I long for autumn,
but for now the
dog days of 
summer
reign.
