In-Stilled - Triplet

To ease the damage from love’s withdraw
Here’s a remedy I learned from Pa:
Use alcohol as your wrecking ball

Stilled Voice (For John Gawsworth, 1921-1970)

Poetry is easy, life is hard,
And so the bravest bard
Begins to buckle with the weight of brutal years—
His singing disappears.

Stranger In the Dark

dusting stale portrait
graying visage from my past
gilds blithe memories
romance stilled in time capsule
shadows my jealous lover

The place began to settle
With birds calling the night canopy over
Hawked flights stilled to silence
Like the closing of blossoms.

Sometimes Stilled

increments of time
lorn on fate's hands
lie motionless
as if frozen
like one drop
of winter's rain
on the edge
of an icicle 
restrained


Simple Word

A simple word –
Softly spoken,
Stilled my heart
Left me broken

A single breath –
Such destruction,
Instant death
One deduction

Goodbye.

   Our playgrounds have faded
     swings stilled, sandboxes unfilled

   Where are the shovels and pails ~
     replaced by profits and sales

leonard cohen sang
'there's a crack in everything
that's how light gets in'

mind is to be stilled
that morning mists dissipate
at dawning of light

A QUIET POND

Quiet living pond,
Teaming with its watered lives,
Sits in wet silence:
Ducks and the lily pad frogs,
In stilled pond contemplation:-

White Silence

Winter coats proliferate,
the earth is stilled by snowflakes 
slowly drifting, swirling, shifting, 
sifting down, a whirling, 
curling cloud of white confetti.

the road lies straight ahead
no deviation
on my way home to you

my heart cannot be stilled
finally on its way

A STILLED POND

Once a wet playground,
A ducks' and frogs' Disneyland!
Now quiet and stilled:-
Winter is no friend to ponds;
freezing out their livelihoods:-

Premium Member Tears Of Dew

 
    rose petals glimmer in summer
    velvety smooth, fresh, and young
    sprinkled with dewdrops, celebrate life-
    till stilled by autumn's frost
Form: Verse

Day Is New

Dawn has stilled
Edge layers yield
Yellow field
Stripping shield
Core revealed

Sunrise brew
Morning dew
Feelings skew
Healing blue
Day is new

Premium Member Think First

Words, once spoken,
Become as arrows escaping a Nimrod's bowstring.
Powerless to return to their quiver,
They remain forever in flight,
Until stilled by time or distance.

With Feelings Filled

With Feelings Filled

With many feelings poem was filled;
God to you this poem was willed
Be thought of,
With much love;
Quiet at night and all was stilled.

stilled contrasts
    in solar segments,
rise then fall-
diminish
the presence 
              of time..
as 
    I
       wait...

then are 
            refreshed..

Premium Member Silence of the Sea

Waves
slouching
soft
against
the quayside.
My thoughts
stilled;
at peace.
Sky devoid
of seagulls; clouds
contrast with 
moody
tones
of the
horizon
above 
pav-
onine
sea.
