Short Thinned Poems

Do you like to hide?
Every time you make mistakes,
Quiet; not much hide......

The crowd had thinned and wandered off,
And just we three remained,
My ever present thoughts of you,
Myself and all unseen....

Tangled in a web that is woven 
Thinned out thread once golden 
Captured in a love so divine
Now sowed together time after time...

The bride in the forest of   raising hands,
A  huge bouquet  hurled with a power.
And thinned the circle of  girlfriends,
She put a brick in the bunch of flowers!...

we walk the steps
we have walked before
but it is not boring 
thanks to amnesia

even after we know
and the veil has thinned
gravity pulls us down

let us celebrate

Today I’m thankful for the wind…
and how when I’m sad and my patience with the world has thinned…
nature finds a way to cheer me up
by floating my favorite memories 
to me
on the wind.

The hummingbird flies and flutters fast
You could not catch him if you tried
So tiny and so little
As small as a thimble
Feeding on nectar
With long thinned tongue
Zoom one goes
Flying
By...

           There
           Thrice

            The
           Thick
           There
        Thickened
           Then
         Thinned 

           That’s
        Theatrical

You used to be my strength, my rock
I looked to you for comforting thoughts
Till you thinned like paper
Your caring tapered
And like scissors you cut me off

Tangled in hooks and fishing line
the fisheries have thinned
waves coated in mercury.
The flotilla moved inland
away from mercury storms, 
from freedom flyers to beggars 
on an asphalt sea
screaming
fries- fries- fries!...

forgot to tell you
i gardened naked one day
gentle misting rain

thinned out salad greens
planted them where scotch bonnet
was on the end row

just me in rain boots
the chickens were embarrassed
dog just laughed out loud...

The dawn has chased 
the fogs away,
it thinned into the woods;
A meadow is revealed-
like Eden- 
verdantly endowed...

A young bud tilts
to part its petals',
pure, untainted white;
bathe in a glow
of dew and hue
of morning's golden light...

Forgiveness is a reed, bending in the wind
A harvested fruit tree, bearing fruit again
A forest consumed by fire, thankful it's been thinned
But most of all forgiveness is the ultimate revenge

I asked the government to help that day
and got the sidewalk ginned
But soon the train took all attention
and now the budget's thinned

So I can say I've seen the world
but had to leave my town
Because the sidewalks don't exist
and Mayor's can't come roun...

I'm taking a leaf out of Prince William's book
the next time that I have my hair trimmed
I might just take the plunge and copy his new look
since mine has irrevocably thinned.
One hundred and eighty the price I shall pay
once I have got that cash to hand
my barber says that he can do that price, say,
if he charges me two quid a strand....

I’m the lost soul at your door,

Little face
Beady eyes
Cautious pace
My hair has thinned,
To strands of lace.

I’ve never been loved,
The love is gone,
I have been abused,
Left on your lawn.

I am misunderstood,
Mistaken for a threat,
I have been scarred,
I hold regret.

I’m the lost soul at your door. A stray cat, no less, no more....

Carpet of crisp dry leaves
New colors nature conceives
Misty ,hazy ,chilly autumn air
Fall colors in full flair
Trees seemingly on fire
Nature seems stringing musical lyre
Rustling bustling autumn wind
All the foliage gradually thinned
Winged leaves flying in the air
Naked  branches so bare
Luring fall colours everywhere
A colorful degenerating atmosphere...

there is a sound when you leave
all electricity is lost
all water is dissolved
all air is thinned out
there is a blankness as time passes
all age is tainted
each era is ruined
every period is murky
there is a change when realization comes
what matters drown
what is important suffocates
what is relevant becomes inanimate
the golden road is now blue...

cukes finding trellis
edemame has some blooms
green peas pushing through

pulled the scotch bonnet
no space for non- production
chickens love the scrap

salad needs thinned out
bugs didn't get all the kale
mighty spinach grows

using recipe 
as prescribed once a week and 
buds n blooms monthly

3 kinds of cabbage
rainbows colors of Swiss chard
planted by the moon...

Sunburnt kisses soothing drenched down
bowing limbs   wind torn and tossed
frozen tips     at times
Uprooted and reckless
broken and helpless
thinned out tops   shaking
with every frigid breath
battling another storm
with Autumn approaching
how will I ever stay warm

Black knots haunt
the cherry blossom weep
I worry about the setting sun
as she smothers the pain
will I ever be me again...

So engulfed by perturbation
The inner cry was enormous
My heart cracked and sank
Why has she been so unfair?
The courage thinned down

The renowned citadel
Not did I ever apply
The enrolment was unquestionable
A vast place yet crowded
Why has she been so unfair?

The knack to learn unfolded
A citadel without classroom
Yet you tutor by seconds
Oh! You duly engage all
Why has she been so unfair?...

No doubt we had sinned
but yet the veils thinned,
revealing clear light,
to our soul’s delight.

Suffering brought tears
and with it dark fears,
by God’s breath exhumed,
as bliss beats resumed.

All we did was feel
life with zest and zeal,
calling out His name,
when we so felt shame.

Love’s trust begets trust,
felt as rapture’s thrust,
pervading our form;
a benign bliss storm.

I looked down and I realized that
I had my grandmother’s hands
I’ve reached the point in life where the skin has thinned
and the veins have bulged
and thoughts of mortality land

At first it was upsetting, a reminder of age unrelenting
but soon after, I thought
What could be better than those loving hands
that soothed my fears
and dried my tears       
oh how 
I’ve missed my grandmother’s hands

God in me
looks outward
feels inward
unity and separation
provisionally accepting delusion
borne by myriad illusions
dancing in space-time
birthing flawed perception
of the entity that is not

thinned out ego
imaginary of course
aligned with source 
sees no cause to exert
within the game make belief
yet allows there must be a purpose
to the seeming playfulness
requiring descent and ascent
in this lucid dream...

Chemo War 2 (some months ago)

So many months of toxic love? and radiation,
 meds, destroying disfigured foes
collaterial danage as useful cells die
and badly burnt in chemical
and radiant heat, I am drained and pale
my hair thinned, my skin  red and raw
this is the final fight, the battles’ at an end, 
the last scars formed, last viens pricked
tap tap tapping of the MRI with me alone
life seems now too heavy a chore...
