chubby with flightless small wings
but fearless from intruders
relic bones remain

A relic or the missing link?
You're like “Plato” they say—Do they think
I'm that colossal 
Or a sentient fossil—
A “Play Dough” primordial stink?...

Haunting, oh so haunting,
  Hanging --
On the wall over the chair;
  Hanging --
Made of ‘hogany...
Mahogany with human hair; 
  A relic,
      With an icy stare....

Norfork pines now brace this place tall
City's view surrounds its stone wall
Time to see is great in late fall
Scenes angelic
Soundless wooden old bells broke all
A good relic...

It's a hazy, lazy morning
In an Arctic of the cold
And I am soon exploring
My relic of a Soul
I wonder if I'm dying,
At the thought of getting Old
All my life sincerely striving:
To save my Youth--My woe!...

Your lips are of raspberry rose.
With skin of Amber, like GOLD.
BLACKEST waist deep TRESSES.
I will, for eons bathe in your benign beauty,
Most excellently EXALTED.
You are the relic that restores me....

Pause a moment for Jesus
Asked not why
Solance is golden
Solidarity is the key 
Obscurity becomes nil
Victory shall be ours
Eternal flame flickers
Relic in thy body of Christ our Lord

I'm a relic, a fossil, a dinosaur,
I have more years behind me than ahead of me for sure,
and that's why I don't tolerate any bull crap anymore.
You've heard it all your life, "Life's Just Too Damned Short!"...

Half sunk in peat and sodden moss,
redundant, clutching at the sky.
Rough stones nearby tell of a loss
long past. We look and can but try
to see beyond this relic on the hill
and hear the plaintive echoes still....

one person's enthusiasm fills the room
sparks new interest
adds a refreshing component
imagination stirred
new ideas abound

From the depths it pains
How wretched a loveless heart
Broken and empty
Just a forsaken vessel
Relic to a love long lost

On the side of my conscience
Irrelevant for thought
I believe
You relic what's not
I believe
Awaken am I for I believe
I don't want to rely on my faultlessness
Faithfulness

This is the code
I write it
To right it
Recite it
Recite it
Recite it
Until what I write
Is in sight
I’m right here
It’s true
I will die
But this 
Shall defy
The test of time
Forever present
A living relic

There are vultures perched on the 
lampposts of Florida
You can hear their young calling
in the morning breeze

They search for the desert that
was once their home
It's forgotten for now, a relic of the past
So they just sit and wait...

Broken in circles,
this
spiral
down.

A remnant, 
a relic,
valid.

A black mass,
in vacuums,
incision.

Specimens,
cultured.

Future calling,
sleep,
docile now,
humble.

Humanity.

The expectancy of life.
This pregnancy of hope....

It sits, unwavering, on my desk
  a relic from a by-gone era
Lowest of low tech
  its on/off chain unobtrusive

Classic lines, bronze weight
  solid as King Arthur's fortress
My initials traced in its dust
  Lights up my nights
    ~ Lets me write...
