Blood of Youth

Truly, if blood is life
her veins run eternity
and heart beats; 
the fountain of youth.
Kiss me least I run dry
and wither away to die


Lonliness

In the dark I am alone
Without my wife, without my son
I wish to die but then I cry
I cry, cry and cry
Till the tears in my eyes all run dry

She and I

When words run dry,
She does not try,
Nor do I.

She just is,
I just am,
And we just are.

Nothing changes,
Wallowing in denial,
She and I.

All of My Patience

All of My Patience

All of My Patience politicians do try;
Each hole of water will let run dry;
We are abused;
Mishandled, misused;
Will be waiting for their next alibi.

Just Let Your Tears Run Dry

J-ust let your tears run dry, 
A-llowing your eyes to glow; 
N-ever be lonely and blue, 
E-rase the pain and sorrow.

Premium Member Saving Tears

~~~ Imagine this world with no lullaby? Imagine each eye never to cry tears wept in sorrow, each river run dry? I'd save me some tears to be lulled from on high. ~~~

Premium Member Enough Is Enough

Why,why, the barren womb's cry
More water,sighs the earth,run dry;
The grave ever cries for more;
An unending roar,the fire's rampage
Give,give echos this pagan age !

Inspired by Proverbs 30 :15-17

Our Love Is

Like the last leaves of autumn
Scattered to the four winds
Our love is drifting away

Like a desert river
Long run dry
Our love is desiccated

Like the winter landscape
Stark and bare
Our love is Barren

Touch The Sky

Let them think you're not worth it. 
Let them think you're not enough.
But know this: 
Mediocrity isn't for me.
I dream,
I try,
I speak, 
I fly. 
My spirit will not run dry
For I am blessed to reach the sky.

Premium Member The Night Grows Weary

The night grows weary
          and so do I
    It seems not to matter
        how hard I try
     The river's run dry
 Its waters need to replenish...

   As I fade in to their steam
  May they grant my last wish

Premium Member River of Love

The river,

that fed the sea of their love has run dry

and now

their thirsty for affection hearts

pray to Eros for the rain of warmheartedness 

to come!

Dear Half Girlfriend

Every time i come by
You say goodbye
I fake a reply
To say bye bye
In real i cry
Cry cry cry

I cry cry and cry
Never dry
Unless i die
Or else open your eye
Things aren't in dye
Let hearts tie 
Future we will run dry

Garden of Gravel

Time and Fate conspire
To indict my garden of gravel
Where my tears never run dry
To water the flowers of hell
That bloom in the silence of midnight.

I still want to do something for you
Out of my nihilty..

Premium Member When Dewdrops Run Dry

when dewdrops run dry,
and the sun warms the new day
one by one I’ll pick
the petals of cherry's  blooms
gently falling in your palm.

Distant Longing

Have all the water fountains run dry
Is the land desolate forever 
And what of that great city Jerusalem 
Mount Zion, the habitation of our God.

To Dan Fogelberg

Where do you go
at the end of your dreams
Where do you go
when the daylight moves on

Where do you go
once your voice has run dry
Where do you go
—when tomorrow is gone

Take down the photos
of rivers run dry
Throw out the offerings
to the gods of luck and time
Claw for the right words
Spit them out on the pavement
Carve this life into a home
Know you'll never want for comfort
Know you'll always be alone

New Dawn In First December

A-nother page is turned, 
N-ew dawn breaks in first December; 
G-od's blessings never run dry, 
E-ver-flowing like a river.
L-et the Lord turn the rain
I-nto one smiling sunshine; 
C-olor your birthday with hue
A-s crimson that's so fine.

The Foundling

When verses
run dry
do you hide 
in despair
When the Muse
is on fire
only ashes
you’ll bear
With silence
embedded
on each
empty page
Your fear 
is the foundling
that kindles
— the rage

From the Sky

New day breaks after the night, 
dawning as the sun is up; 
Inviting the red beacon 
to keep on rising and never stop.

Call on the Almighty's name 
to let not the blessings run dry; 
Or ask Him to let the rain 
fall its water from the sky.
Form: Verse

Fountain of Water

O-n twenty-first January, 
S-aturday greets the blue lane; 
C-oal clouds have vanished, 
A-s well as the cold
R-ain.

S-ent graces from above
U-se the river near the plateau; 
L-et not the blessings run dry
I-n the fountain of water
T-oo.

When Eyes Run Dry

You’re kidnapped by the serenade,
of  the whispers before they hush. 
Your eyes seduce the blade,
as you crave and dread the rush.
 
Your skin and the steel collide,
and the edge delivers chills.
Now all of your fears subside, 
as the crimson slowly spills
Form: Rhyme

Feel God's Embrace

A-nother new page is added, 
N-inth morn in September; 
G-reetings come from the heart, 
E-arly waking you from slumber.
L-et not God's blessings run dry, 
Y-earn to receive the heaven's grace; 
N-ever ignore His commandments for you to feel His embrace.

That's All Folks

That's all folks

It's been fun, but I think I'm done.
I'll probably read from time to time
but it looks like I've lost my rhyme
Almost five years, 
and my inspiration has run dry.

Thanks for all of your support!

Premium Member Swallowing a knife

Listen to poem:
If only swallowing a knife could cut the words from my minds eye
So complex open wounds would slowly bleed until its veins run dry
Carving a way for my vexations, though my heart will never be free
To release the tournament of deeply hemorrhaging wounds in me
