Like a sponge in my throat

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.

~~~ 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. ~~~

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 !

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...

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

Untitled
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

(Ronald McDonald House: May, 2025)

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....

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...
