Short Relinquishes Poems

A golden leaf, silently falling
Returning to earth that created it earlier
Gently... slowly...  breezily 'tis transported
Landing humbly on its side, bowing, submitting
Its end has arrived, it demurely relinquishes...

LACHRYMATORY*

         wasted on his grave
he can’t beat the soil to death
           relinquishes tears
melts down handsome’s treasury
      his golden eyes in her jar

His talks seemingly obsolete

His obstinacy tenacious and noisy

He rebukes, he chides, he reprimands

His acts like a performer's repertoire

His renunciations to be jeered upon

He renounces, he chucks in, he relinquishes

It is the monologue man...

Emotion relinquishes 
Every aspects of life
In-fact every moments
Too…
 
Very passionate
Intact feel of heart
Even mind..

Love inspire 
All the world
It lives in hearts
Desperately

It reveals Plinth 
To Kindness
In life 
Of the
Human ….

Asleep on a pile of hay 
my dreams are waiting for the day 
when summer relinquishes her ray 
to a re-canvassed season of red clay ;
  
Burgundy leaves in the wind sway,  
as September returns like a Jay

Half-past sunset,
where silence pierces continuum
and leaves a tiny cavity of Time,
where balance is lost and found


        Yesterday relinquishes power…
        before Tomorrow takes rein


a climatic breath of freedom
to tighten my aura
in the second between
the two sides of midnight....

Love vanquishes 
Hate relinquishes 
Love hanging on a rugged cross 
Therefore not a single soul a loss 
Love whose Spirit hope instills 
And oh, my soul, it stills 

Love eagerly to me came down 
Love wiped away every frown 
Love, indeed, in its purest form 
Love so tender, oh, so warm 
Love who spares me from strife 
Love, oh, sweet Love of my life...

One that supplies forth coming events from divine ways,
Relinquishes information, straight and sometimes in a daze.
Angels seek these individuals to become prophets to gaze.
Countless individuals have claimed this title without praise.
Lessons have been taught and ignored from these of past days.
Each one from the past either enlightens, or they simply amaze....

Quiet vicissitudes on a lonely shore. 

Memories fading with age as the family home crumbles.

It sits alone, abandoned, on it's now private island as the ocean continually encroaches with time.

Nothing left but photographs to prove to the world it was here as a storm crashes overhead.

With one final gulp a once happy home relinquishes itself to the watery abyss....

The Eternals Wake

Afterlifer's believes consciousness dabbles, effecting furtherance,
gainsayers, henceforth, interjects jocularity,
knowledgeable limits mortality nonbeing ... obliviates predominating, quasistationary,
relinquishes significance tasked ultrafamiliar,
vaticinators wanderings xenial,
yearning zen.

Saying goodbye to summer's
Unrelenting heat brings joy.
Munchkins return to the classroom and
Moms now have a moment's peace.
Eagerly I await autumn's flora and
Relish the delightful coolness of the weather as
Summer relinquishes her throne.

Enjoy the dregs of summer,
Now that the days grow shorter, but
Don't be sad - she'll return next year.

Oh, t’is only pain that lingers in the corridors where my mind traversed
As now, my weakened and tired frame relinquishes its powers
Allowing existence of the overbearing ache and the rule of its force
I roll over within my standing grave and cry out, “No more! No more!”
But, to deaf ears my voice travels, while the being of pain laughs 
Breaking the man that once stood high, proud and willful
I am, no more...

The bride of day arrives,
Wearing a dark veil.
Her train, carried by the wind,
Stretches long into the evening.

Growing weary, waiting
To cast off oppression,
Tears break restraint.
She cries into the night.

Her anguish falls heavy,
Repelling her friends.
All is lost, for now,
Until her mood is spent.

Fair weather friends awake,
The earth has quenched its thirst.
The storm relinquishes its hold,
And the sun smiles in victory....

I saw the world change in a week
It’s that slant of the sun that tells me
Backlighting in gold tones
The way the light edges, rather than directs
Comes at you sideways like many things in life
Blinding one eye, warming only the side exposed
The other side relinquishes a shiver
Trees turn to poles laid out to follow
Pointing the way 
Leaves flickering light, broadcast the nearness of change
I follow the poles and become found in the shadows...

Early evening’s warm fresh breeze
Sented aroma adrift with ease

As afternoon sun melts slowly down
Day light concludes with a dusky crown

Evening beckoned me out for a stroll
Dainty placidness quenching my soul

A silky breeze makes my spirit content
Picking up lilac and trailing her scent

Sun dripping slowly down her pink sky
Eloquently melting as birds fly by

Enraptured by this lingering breeze
Relinquishes hope for tomorrows ease
