Short Subsided Poems

Earth and sky collided 
Rays of hope beaming 
Frantic feeling subsided 
Dawn of new day screaming.

The storm subsided among lost cries
Blurred picturesque of ruined brides
I see as I await my muse
In the solemn solitary sunrise....

And today I feel better
The pain in my stomach gone
And the alcohol’s pull
Has subsided
I think its great now
All I need is an AC...

A couple living in Ealing
Made love with passion and feeling
But his ardour subsided
When she confided
“It’s time you painted the ceiling”...

Earthquake in my heart stop rumbling, 
The storm has subsided the ebb is low, 
Veins flow with fire, unsated no more. 
Tremors and aftershocks come and go 
I live with love now on another shore....

Overwhelmed, as I was
Today has dawned
My pain, has lessened
And the loneliness, subsided

A new time, is here
My loss is in the history books
Now, I must not be daunted
Be brave, against whatever comes...

Peter Piper picked a peck
Of pickled peckers...
After the laughter subsided
I was in a peck of trouble,
In a real pickle so to speak.
Thank god he wasn't a woodchuck.
I'd still be saying Hail Mary's.

In a region divided,
  on a hill far away

A last echo subsided
  quiet ruling the fray

The soldiers asleep,
  as fate waits for the dawn

New blood to be spilled,
  ever right—ever wrong

(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2017)...

The faux fury has subsided
the acrid smell of pseudo battle
awakens wary sparrows
unsure of the victor
silence does not quell
the hangover
nor daylight erase
the blackout
of whiskey'd warriors
snoring on weeping lawns

Flashes like rainbow sunlight lit
Shone her belligerent facade
The sheriff headlamps rays
Subsided into quest
Then at last her secret broke out
Like mucus from a stayed baked bread

The flames of the fire of our love
may have abated and subsided
but its embers still menacingly glow
and from time to time it's re-ignited
searing through us like lava's hot flow
until by joy fulfilled and delighted
it flickers, returning, mellowing slow,
into its normal pedestrian groove....

"Although prejudice and discrimination has subsided over time and history, it is hidden in every corner of our present; for there is no escape from diversity in America. As hostility and violence is less prevalent some say, to say we live in a society of Pluralism, is to speck prematurely and blindly."...

When rain subsided, and the sun came out,
golden rays of light chased away the gloom,
then the world was ready to move about.
When rain subsided, and the sun came out,
fear from within becomes hope from without,
uplifts the sprit, no more sense of doom.
When rain subsided, and the sun came out,
golden rays of light chased away the gloom....

Whenever you feel  life has not gone the way you would like.

What should you do to rectify the path?

Do you work a little harder to forge the way?

Save your troubles to think about another day?

When your head is clear and the weariness subsided?

Heart on cuff - head in gear, logic and clear!

Sleep, 

No tear, 

No tear, 

No tear....

Your just a memory inside of
me as I've stopped loving you a 
memory ago,It's subsided to a purr.

Toemories 
are tomorrow's love,
I am woman hear me roar.

Saw you long ago,It hurt so 
deeply ago,My heart's open wide 
for tomorrow's memory,Arrows have 
shot through this old gals heart.

Tomorrow's memories are 
all I'm living for hear me roar....

Waiting for the traffic to move,
Longest day in the world for me,
Slow motion in progress it just won’t groove,
I’m growing no faster then a tree,
Impatient the moment arises,
Looked both ways and the season subsided,
The occasional mishap just occurred,
Crash in an instant now I’m disturbed,
In this second I look in the past,
I see myself and I didn’t last....

The storm has finally subsided
there's a clearing of the skies
nice time for a rainbow
real good day to smile

Think I'll just sit back and relax
enjoy the shades of heaven up above
let my eyes take in the feast
a view that's filled with love

For the colors seem to brighten my spirit
open up my soul
the worries I had yesterday
I'll toss them at the rainbow...

Dark clouds gathered in the west
the wind whipped and  howled
the sky shed thousands of tears
as hunger crouched on the ground below
 crying continued though out the afternoon
as the hungry bowls were fed
moist wet tears slowly subsided 
only to come rushing back again
these tears from the heaven
eventually ceased
satisfying the thirst of the land.

The pain subsided
as I lifted the drink
space still resided
deeper I still sink

Need a love to take up space
to fill that empty hole
a need to leave this place
to empty my poor soul

Waiting for some sun
to chase my rain
for that I am not the one
only I am to blame

A long game of chess
my life seems to be
lost all my pieces and caused a mess
as you can definately see...

Lacy black shell
Ever so fine
Asymmetrically designed
For a love of mine.

Fingertips touched
Ever softly.
Asked whom this was for
Tell not my heart.
Her name I cannot reveal.
Eve of the year
Reunites us.

She rejoices now.
Her sadness subsided.
Evicted from her sylph
Enriched her temperament,
Lust love laid-up luxuriously.

Rush your waves of freedom 
pulse slow where alcoves bleed
lay gently in the grass of heaven 
amongst the humble and the meek 
  
Faint eyes lie down in blazing heat 
where the burning fades desire 
unfurled taught ropes entwine 
and boil steams still streams   
  
Unguide lost thoughts subsided 
roam the hallows of my lair 
run past fear of another morrow 
into me come disappear...

After the raging 
   waters
        have subsided
    we are left
with much destruction 
        and despair
We seek guidance from 
     above
           and we 
             hope
            that 
     our eyes will be
soothed by a gentle rain
    which is spilling down 
     upon the land
                the stars above 
are now
      glittering in 
anticipation
      of a new - a better day...

I’m not one to boast
But this morning I was able to look up from the abyss
My mind clear and sharp
The wave subsided
The overwhelming rush of love and regret abated.
And for the first time in weeks
I didn’t burn the toast.

Looking ahead toward dinner
I may take some root vegetables,
Parsley , rosemary and olive oil
Preheat the oven to 400
Cut out my tortured heart, add it to the root vegetables
And let them roast....

I lost it one Spring day beneath an old oak tree
I was just sixteen  and new to love 

He was so insisting I was afraid to lose him
So I agreed to love him for just a little while

I didn’t know that it would hurt so much but 
I just laid there with tears inside my heart.

He held me close to him as my pain subsided 
He whispered in my ear he would be mine forever

I have not seen him for a month do you know 
where he is?...

I can’t seem to discard 
The sensation that comes upon me 
Whenever your around 
By no means 
Could I have anticipated 
That you would give me 
Such an luminous perspective 
On how it feels to be loved again 
So hypersonic has our relationship 
Matured and flourished 
What an astonishment you are
Did not presume a like you
Still would exist in this age 
You have subsided this rage
Within my soul
With jestures untold.......
