Short Resigns Poems

Between heart and mind roses die
The goddess resigns,
The drunken wine.
A spiral universe collapse,
Exorcising art is a difficult task….....

We had a plan, to follow true.
If we do not, what resigns the clue?
Follow the leaders now.
After they break a vow,
Even though, they know not, what to do...

Impressions are made when words stay constant. 
Image defined when you see me as I am. 
Principles instilled when words reflect the image. 
People decide when they live both. 
Truth resigns when you assign which....

C-lear
L-ight in
I-magery
V-ividly shines,
E-ndorsing sunrise as twilight resigns.

B-eacon after night begins to ascend,
L-etting the dark
A-nd the dusk
K-indly
E-nd.

Applaud apt act
Leave lazy lack

Lift lively link
Indulge in ink

Tell tender tease
Etch endows ease

Rich risk resigns
Art aims align

Troubles thrust think
Impulse in ink

Only odd one
Now never none

My Dreams, Shattered
By Reality

My Soul, Tortured
By Malaise

My Thoughts, Imprisoned
By Confusion

My Joy, Murdered
By Sorrow

My Hope, Executed
By Uncertainty

 Shattered, 
 Tortured,
 Imprisoned,
 Murdered,
     and
 Executed 


My Heart, Resigns 
By Suicide...

These clouds above my head
Thick, dark, yet weightless
Daily reminders and warnings
that we should always be prepared for the worst
Clouds
You act as an umbrella over the Earth
Shading us from deadly rays
Yet you pour on and dispirit me
 The Sun resigns for a while
and clouds take its place
Oh harsh, scorching, sphere of fire
I wait for your return...

Let each a breath
Command them well
For the sun that doesn’t shine
When the doctor falls to his dear death
And the birds that fly with time
In their feathers there's a love
In the heart of a dove,
That dove resigns
And a mother declines,
Her child’s breast
And the earth that's dressed
Brings that baby to its rest
Divine our love, our love divine...

different drumbeats, separate Lives

he inhales the wind song

a static cling to yesterday

held in his heart until his melody fades

life, love, hope circle the drain

aging realist at one with his pain

love’s last aria

melancholy oboe resigns with setting sun
     
when two are no longer one 

chasm widens between haunting roars

tribal drums on opposite shores...

From morning to night
from day to night
time holds its age.
From its youth
to its wisdom
it grows old 
old enough 
to count the stars,
young enough 
to follow our paths.
Time ages us
til' our dying day
til' our final pray
time defines us
time resigns us,
til' we can count the stars
time defines the
life we live
the time we spend
the day we define  time
is when our day of 
reckoning comes

Cleaving to all its bustle and ado,
What trails behind is one’s own dark shadow.

O man, choke not with truth buried below,
Its fingers point to your vainest ego.

He’s no man that mutely accepts his fate
Resigns to whatso fate, whatso morrow,

A sheep in flock he’s no better to know, 
In cool ash of ignorance to wallow,

A man is he defeated but by him—
O fight thy pretender, beat him hollow.
