Belated Dawn

What ought to have lapsed 
A decade ago sluggishly pops;
Antagonist’s claws now thaw 
And give way to buoyant hopes.
Form: Ballad


Kid of Traipse

Hate invoke,
Haunt sound silence in, 
Lapsed love still,
Heart opens,
A kid of traipse live alone,
life of sorrow fun.
Form: Shadorma

Higher Affliction

Beneath,
Moving higher,
Upset and distressed now,
Lapsed into disturbed sleep or grief,
Afflicted with uneasiness for you.

Oklahoma

I'm living in Oklahoma
That green country fresh aroma
Life sweet as could be
All fine and dandy
Till I lapsed into an okra coma

Resolve collapsed

His checkered past
  His fiancé aghast
Once more, outcast

Premium Member Losing the search

Alas my life has lapsed 
as my fingertips lose their grasp 
letting go of life 
and the many things 
I had searched for 
but never found

Premium Member Search In Life

Searching, but never found
Chained and bound
Held back 
looking for what life lacks
At my fingertips grasp
But alas my life has lapsed

Premium Member The Old Seamstress

The old sewing machine
Stiches noisily
The separated will be joined
The torn will be patched
But
Not the hearts that are apart
But 
Not the luck and glory that are lapsed

All the Words

are wrote
all the songs songs
repeated
all the suns
burnt through space
all the worry
turned to worries
all the time has lapsed
moments no longer begun
and the dark has become the numb

And More Haiku

Haiku
Old man
Spending his night
Finding a dream 


Haiku
On lapsed path he walks
Blocked veins and dry blood 
Black& white flowers   


Haiku
Ancient man
No future only vague hopes
Spiked roses
Form: Haiku

When I was seven

I saw a bloke beneath an oak with nothing in his hands 
He seemed relaxed, and as time lapsed, he had little plans
He stayed just there without a care evidently free
Then someone said, that fellas dead, hanging from that tree

Gilded Life

Lost in a labyrinth of
Glistening sights
Infinitely out of reach,
Trembling amidst sweeping mistrals, 
Fabricating a life of nostalgic allusions,
Caught in lapsed reveries, of 
Restless arias and faint rustlings
Sequestering my rampant aura,
Bleeding in russet naivety, 
Evaporating in silent elegies.

Premium Member Nature's Worth Call of the Wild-

I heard the call of the wild It bewildered me and chilled my body Closed my mind filled Filled me with uncertainty I am entrapped in my own village I have been lapsed Fell! Fallen to the tillage digging up dirt Nature's worth

Buttercups

So many come blossoming, 
verily so many merrily 
so many! under the high-
spirited sun, opening 
a host of yellow. Nine, 
ten, three dozen blooms, 
now hundreds casting off 
the old lapsed minutes 
the months of cold – 
joking high-spirits
so sinuous on thinnest 
green stems – this very
morning so many!

Premium Member The Nameless One

Petrifying prediction proffered. Abhorrent abominations and shapeless shadows stalk streets. Perpetually pitch as Luna's light lapsed. Prostrate and pray: Stygian nightmare roused. ------------------------------ 28th April 2017 For the "Form N - Ninette or Nonet" contest, sponsored by Broken Wings. (Eighth Place)

My Penny

Are we prepared to display diplomacy conclusion in el salvador
Are we equated to the residue of our streets at home
While time lapsed beneath the bullets our fireworks burned our shores
Titled day and lived beneath flight
Our cowardice increases as feeding child bites
Taken long, measures of meat
And heel we have not, for catching little speak

Her Ring.

Pure precious yellow 
An endless go round
No end to the beginning
Is there to be found
By strength of devotion 
My commitment was cast
A circle the measure 
My ardor shall last
Donned on your finger 
To time lapsed unknown
Our future the brilliance
Within the luminous stone
Vows promised sacred 
My faith you can’t lose
Ever more than a partner
You are my muse.

Spring Taunts

Brief respite lapsed,
Gray day too harsh
To venture out
As noontime last
When sidewalks teemed
With jacketless grins
And one pert, lithe runner
Of vernal youth
Flashed her bare palm
In friendly passing …

Now, through fogged pane,
I downheartedly watch
Three daffodils bob
Canary heads
Against this onrush
Of chill wet air:

Spring taunts winter’s
Doomed oppression.

Premium Member Poetry

Poignant voice
In word choice


Stillness grounds
What voice sounds


Silence sparks
Vivid lark


Echo waits
Stuff and gate


Sorrow sad
Waits on glad


Not much mood
In lapsed good


Here a while
Hymn fond style


Purge all hurts
Rise from dirt


In plain fling
Mixed feelings


Apt poetry
Words surge free

Premium Member Please, Just Five More Minutes

The great golden
In gleaming rims rolling
Upward like tolling bells
Rousing the blissful morning cells
Some lapsed in dreams e'er unfolding
Prophetic harmonies sung
By angelic or demonic tongue
Dissolving in wakes of light
Swelling ever more bright
Dispelling lingering night
From sleepy eyes shuttered tight
Midst pleading groans and dismal sighs
The golden morning bid ye arise

Premium Member Moods Structured Prose

Poignant and manifest,time lapsed
moods become pastimes joined in
silence.Intuitive,held together ,irregular
emotive.Imprecise associations make
extraordinary leaps into consciousness
obscuring reality.

Bemoaner Love

Another day first 
Lights by and by 
My heart is broken 
Mourning, sorrowing 
My quiet tears 
Stunning to my ears 
Sole in the haze of misery 
To my mystify
Lapsed slipped away
Your face I observe 
Gone your voice 
The house with tune 
Your hence makes me blue 
A cut heals over time
Emotional pain glues 
Eventually too 
I will have a scar 
It will remind me 
Of my love for you

February 3, 2022 Miracle Man Being heavy with snow the sky collapsed, a nor’easter is causing drifts to mount. I find poetic concentration lapsed, snow has increased by a goodly amount. Ice crystals are forming on front storm door, in scribbling my name, It’s cold to my touch. Wife yelling at me while pacing the floor, I'm penned up inside and in winters clutch.
