Derelict now cold
Mossed stones in sporadic spill
Ageing arms out spread
They, competing for the light
Sadly, both succumb to time
.
viscera besieged
elbow deep in ecstasy
succumbing to bliss

My psychiatrist ain't cheap
now that I swapped the basic for an iPhone 4G.
Guess them Apples really do keep the doctors away!
That is if you have the funds to pay...
Naughtiness is the word for today
To get through life, it's the only way
To achieve the goal
Of a happy soul
Succumbing to unloading our wee stowaway
Long ago and far away
In a marsh of murky waters
Did two young tadpoles play
Mired deep inside the bog
Succumbing to relentless fog
~ Divers only found a pair of frogs
Are we ready for the crap soon at hand
Earth's in danger of succumbing to man's plan
Our natural resources
Will all be lost to us
Can we stop this disaster or just sit on our fan
Summer sultry sweat
Sends sea-dwellers,
Seeking some solace,
Softly…
Sensually…
Seductively…
Satiating some.
Simply satisfying!
So, succumbing,
Seems so seductively soothing,
Simply stated!

George Bush Jr. spoke today
about a world united by horror
to defeat a reign of terror
Joe Biden had already spoken
a coward succumbing to terror
to restore that same reign of horror
NOSE WOES - limerick
My nose told me it couldn’t get riper
as I opened and peeked in the diaper
one last gasping breath
succumbing to death
single shot from intestinal sniper

No need for material gain
Yet again I feel your pain
Why are so afraid
To hold the love grenade
Falling victim the explosion
Weathered and succumbing to erosion
I may not be the one who holds it all
Through your beauty I fall
Prolonging the inevitable
Wanting this feeling to linger
Succumbing to the infallible
Feeling like we're strangers
Staring at me w/a dormant gaze
Your heart lost in a haze
Wanting us to recount the days
When we were happy & in love.
Siblings
growing older
one after the other
succumbing to final illness.
Alone.

memories sweetly
swirling like cotton candy -
let them melt away
in Indian summer’s gleam
succumbing to fall’s new flavors

For Brian Strand's the 'COMPLETELY YOUR CHOICE(33) any theme any form' Poetry Contest
How the years have hurried by this century
so many wild enticing adventures aplenty,
heroes and heroines succumbing
to every hope and dream forthcoming
even these senior years are not defeated
still breathing life to make the dream completed.
Yearning feelings, I miss him...
Succumbing, now, to apathy
Memories of "Remember when?"
When I know he's forgotten me
Presently, no consequence
For my wasted, loveless ambition
I do what I can to ease the strain
Of constant change and endless transition
Shattered shell the pieces settle, succumbing to time
A spell so subtle.
A fog of complacency numbs the scrapes
As tendrils of memories seep deep-
Tunneling down twisting hard narrow vessels
Until the sickness settles.
This heart will stop-
When healing neglects.
In quiet moments
a compass points to the way
out of time's tide plod
that drags the mind to boredom
confined by reality
Love the pathfinder
bridges the gap to find bliss
beyond mind's limits
when you yield to what drives you
succumbing to true love's pull
Sting my eyes with your butterfly kiss
bringing out the crazy in me,
Swing upon my highs and lows
things can get a little messy;
Wild hearts seek wildfires
smiled, succumbing to emotional chaos;
Beguiled by little things, they mean so much
exiled relishing in logic’s hiatus.
I am haunted
by pictures of your smile
your eyes following my every move
desperate for answers
that I can't give
blaming me for your death
for leaving you all alone
not by choice,
but for my sanity
as you lost yours
succumbing to an early death
and unaccomplished dreams
Make it special ~ each breath we take
Distil thought, word and deed
Make tranquil mind, calm as a lake
Succumbing not to greed
Here now, choose to go in
Magnetise void within
Let bliss winds graze our skin
Our earth vessel
Make it special

Quietus
COLD EMBRACE
Cold
embrace
long
stolen
from my arms.
Tempted
love
too weak,
succumbing
without remorse,
betrayal
without
cause.
Lusting’s
rendezvous
seeking
heat
without
fire.

for Kim Merryman - Waltz Wave Poetry Contest
she's still looking up at the sky
it's been seventeen years coming
and all she's ever done is try
until the pain was mind-numbing
to always wait
such is her fate
but still she refuses to cry
it will be her unbecoming
she speaks, a lie after a lie
and she is far from succumbing
she will not fail
she can prevail
I see a masked shape
in the trees
when the wind blows
the mask laughs
it's leafed face half hidden
it does not mock
as it is trapped, half exposed
the other half is mingled, attached
to it's roots of birth
when the east sun shines
the mask disappears
with a shadow
it jitters and trembles
succumbing to it's
birthright.
do
apply, participate
accomplishing, practicing, performing
execution, complete, termination, decease
perishing, expiring, succumbing
moribund, mortal
die
