So full of the gems of age~
Hands withered from repetition ~
As eyes tarnish in bleary rooms~
He writes ever silent of a bygone youth....

Absence alone,
Won’t tarnish all memories, 
I deem pure.

Only my inability to retrieve,
Ensures,
Some won’t endure....

Dwell in a world of delusions
Always quick to blame
Throwing tarnish on your name
Subjecting themselves to contusions...

Instead of doing all the talking like a bore

on this clinquant day
Let the stream 
of consciousness flow

Be not ill-defined 
of the clear waters
As the purity will reflect
my love for you X...

 Tarnish hopes,
Polish thoughts
Heaven help us;
Whom would have brought;
Us  against the sinners doubt;
How bout' that...
Hollow choice disdain voices

Have you found the rarest of four-leaf clovers
Or bent down to pick up a shiny lucky penny
Maybe you thought of those who may not have any
Or did you just look for the tarnish on the coin you turned over...

Tracks Or Train With A Tarnish


Either train itself or tracks had a tarnish;
Missions and goals difficult to accomplish;
Unstable section;
Was a detection,
As on the rails train sped and went swish.

The artist may tarnish,
but his art remains clean
His intention stays ageless,
his wishes pristine

Though rust covers over
what’s harder to see
The base is still there
—and the spirit still free

Eye of illusion
The construction of sight
Whatever u see 
And whatever you tried
Wish to see
Is your own construction
But leaving the watchfull eye
 To face the music 
and turning reality to 
Imaginary so tarnish
The actuality Vanishes
So what remains…...

One man’s treasure, one man’s trash;
saved for years, then sold for cash.

Though held once in high esteem,
tarnish overtook their gleam.

Dull they sit and patient wait,
helpless to control their fate.

Auctioned off, or harsher still,
land ignoble, in a fill....

In a world quiet
Don't make a sound.
Know a limit, set your bounds.
in every shade.
Love what you have
for it is golden.
Tarnish not those simple words,
Love is complexity only you can know.
Question not the vows you took,
Forever more the ties that bind.

Tonight finds me moved to give cause your bottomless emnity

If I am unclean, why do you then tarnish these hills with my blood?

Look well upon this dark face, for it's not the last you will see...

After divorce, failure’s the feeling
Mixed with relief, leaving us reeling
Clean out old trinkets, make room for growth
Get past feeling we’ve broken an oath.

Promises made, eventually broken
Tarnish the rings, a union token
Each day’s mystery to uncover
Learning to be our own tender lover....

My heavenly father,

Let the dew of Thy divine wisdom 

My dry lips of understanding to moist 
 

For
 
  
Unattainable is for me, the desert of 

Ignorance to cross, without risking,
 
My thirsty for knowledge soul, to

Tarnish!

in my psychosis;
leverage diagnosis;
fragment minds hurting;
~
I bevel my watch
ruined vagrant derelict
my resolution
~
just to do nothing;
mind and soul in this sinkhole;
tarnish illusion;
