These bruises come
Remnant of the dark age
To remind me that
Part of me is still
Caught in the game
To them be free

Premium Member snow remnant

Sliver of snow remains
No longer pristine or pretty
Gray and gravely, gray-scale ugly
Dog rolls in it, loving the cold wetness

Premium Member Bite Me

Crow caw synthesizer flight
enrapture blackest pit of night.
Rumble drum the saccharine fawn
cold craw stuck remnant
of omnivorous dawn.

Splintered remnant of nostalgic suffering

May your pain erode you alike the touch of stagnation upon a rotting corpse- akin to a wilted rose stained with the stench of fear & longing.

Perhaps
The remnant
of the one celled amoeba
Still transcending the primordial ooze 
Sucking sustenance from the
Oozing awakening
Of life

Knotty Dogs

the pair stood together by a warm hearth strong andirons of wrought steel shared log, a charred remnant

Faded Presence

A weeping pillow
holds tightly to the remnant
scent of ecstasy,
inhaling faded presence
we console one another

Sad Departure

A remnant of light
crackled in my solitude.
The disdain of departure
bare my soul...
an atrocious silence
accomplished his intent
by perennial shade
in our love!

Premium Member Sanguinity


Splintered hope shards,
despondently adrift in tear stream,
reflect the remnant rays of resurgence,
designs the last lattice of dream,
lacing the listless life.

Vacuous

submerged in blankness
helpless to escape bereavement
frail and broken, hollow eyed

hope is a remnant
the burden of countless tears
lines etched deeply in her face.

Shattered

For but one more 
taste of your love
i would come to you
straight away
I would shatter my existence
and crawl over 
the remnant shards
I would show you the pain of love

Premium Member Colorful Blanket

I wake up in early morning, to the cool air outside
Slowly the sun rises, bringing warmth to the remnant of last night
The day unfolds a colorful blanket of beauty to see

Under Clear Skies

Hands interlock

modifying and replacing times of needs and wants

when remnant remains of thoughts

containing scenes of you and me

are all I have left

lingering

under clear skies……..

Yor Eyes Kis Me

drops of rain
dancing in the air
unseen
then falls on your
lips
untouched
a cold shower
remnant of a dream

sunlight in a dew drop
waxing moon in a cup
your eyes kiss me
melting in the trans

Even Keel

beyond and below
beneath the cosmic tide
I awoke today to see
with the sun above
my shadow held tight
for lack of shade
as I crawl beneath
remnant chaparral
with this desert scruff
I scrub my bones

Premium Member the stars we see

most of the stars we see are deceased
yet they live on like well-loved souls
I marvel at this, as I stare into the night
enjoying the essence that may be a mere remnant
a lovely memory in time and space

Remnant

Yesterday's daisy chain lies limp on the floor
As it has done many times before
Though just a remnant of a sunny day
It makes me smile anyway

Remnant

Burnt

ashen

ground

humid

dusty

quagmire

I rummaged in my hands

blackening fingertips

and felt peace

it was what was left

of her last letter

that had freed me of all

fetters.

Premium Member Consequences

Listen to poem:
meltwater
exhaled breath
warm remnant of kiss
inescapable consequences
ramifications off-ramp.

despite en garde, parry loop,
deflect dodge defy deny and cry;
relent now, 
imbibe and savor the afterglow.

Premium Member A Reason To Go On

i thought all had been lost
but then i found the remnant of dreams
and yearned to reach out…
to share them all with you

Blind Without Blind

dreams are the shadows of 
your mind
mind  the remnant of
your imagination n
imagination  the rapport of
your vision
you could be blind
without being blind really
when a dog licked me today
i realised i like animals

Premium Member Remnant of Love

There are good remnants 
That come from strong emotions
Like the emotion of Love
Squeezing out is Joy
Elation pure Happiness
An ultimate feeling, Joy

Shadow Lights

Shadow lights reflecting 
on the tattered fringe
of soul,
the shiny threads reminding me 
that yes,
I once was whole.
The  remnant of a garment
That they now use as a shroud
wrapped around the sad remains of 
one who once was proud.
