Short Waned Poems

My wounds have healed
From the inside out.
Though the pain
Has waned away,
Scars remain 
As visible memories....

budding chartreuse fronds
unfurled in blooms verdant green
waned ochre fern sprawls

DILUTED

Autumn leaves tremble
passion has waned sans color
floods diluted fall

And poverty has thus filled his griddle with dust,
His cup covered in rust
His strength, long waned to wail and cry
Now, all he awaits is to die...

We were BARE FOOT in the grass.
Seasons came.  Seasons WANED.
AND over again.
Once more.
Shoes removed.
GIGGLES AND CHATTER
Nothing else MATTERED....

The fun king came once again,
To claim the throne of wither and stain,
No blame of shame garnished or waned,
As our king of fame proclaims his elicit game....

Land masses in freeze
mans conditional now waned
nature retracts, whilst
a polar bear roams a city
incomprehensible times

I wonder what are the criteria,
I'd meet him in a cafeteria,
Ask how he waned the entries,
Good poems from different countries,
He would say some lines act like bacteria.

After being charged,denied everyone feasted,Governor had imprisoned Jesus,King, Laughing
men neared, openly Pilate queried reason,shrouded thorns unveiled vengeance waned,
xenophobes yoking zealots.

Frog In Her Cup

there once a frog that jumped into her cup
he filled her rim so fast he got the hiccups 
was all he could wrestle
as he swam her vessel`
croaks waned once a release of his buildup

Nearer To God Remained

While away all of the time had waned
Things exist that are hard to be explained
Bothersome behavior having no beat
And only thing will do is self-defeat
Nearer to God I have always remained.

the clouds are drifting
across the face of the moon
a dark night in June

tree shadows moving
the glimmering comes and goes
restless dreamers stir

the dusky blossoms
dance in the dark like lovers
when night's pearl has waned...

Wakened, the winged and winsome wind

wandered westerly while whistling witchery.

It waltzed whimsically within woodlands -

whooshing, then whipping willows.

Worn, it waned. . . whispering wistfully....

“Merge of the seasons ”	(Than-Bauk)			             

Winter has waned                              		                       
Heat had gained strength			                       
Snow drained with force.

i walked down the alley of my mind,
it was lonely.
i entered the room of my heart,
it was empty.
i peeped through my eyes,
i was blind.
what spell did time caste on us?
your absence in abundance...
‘cause i scented your aroma.
it had waned.

Listen to poem:

The warm patina of old age is cherished
revered, conserved, protected as irreplaceable.
Unlike the wrinkles and scars
that deface waned youth expired.
Only time and good care
coats much-loved keepsakes 
with protective patina - 
the glaze and sheen of esteemed age....

Waned moon's crescent child
              hoping to
    one day soon shine full

       Full moon wanes
 its light gentles dark night
     Earth's children sleep

To breathe is constricting
to walk is now strained
My passion is boundless
My power has waned

  The music demands 
that I keep up the pace
so much to do,
when I look at your face

  I see hope rekindle
I feel I can try
to put down this opus,
this work,
ere I die....

Where stockings of fishnet hung by the tree,
Old Santa grew giddy, blushing with glee,
For the madam explained
"If your drive's not too waned,
The one-you-pick's owner won't charge the fee."

Special friend
You remained while everyone else waned
All disappeared but you stood clear
You looked after me while others turned to flee
Always there with open arms
Always fair and beautiful as the stars
Special friend
I too will always be here
For you always, my nearest dear...

The Waning of Tides of Love

Like the ebb
and flow
of tides
to thirsty shores,
so surreal
were the ups and downs
of our love;
then at yesterday’s
sunset,
the moon
forsook us
and with lost gravity,
the thirsty tides
of our love
waned away:
lost at sea
to return no more....

Let me be,
Let me heal
The pain has reached my marrow
And left me a bitter sorrow

The tears in my eyes 
Soon will dry
My waned strength will come anew
And the dark sky above me again shall be blue  

My woebegone face
Won't tarry more than it'd stayed 
I'm grateful for the pain
But I'll heal again....

DIVORCE

Don’t let this end in bitterness.
It’s not about who’ll win, who’ll lose.
Victory is making sure
Our children never have to choose.
Remain good friends, though love has waned.
Cherish the good times we had,
Even if the ending’s sad

I had forever
   then unexpectedly
   the clock stopped.
The ticking had slowed
   when I wasn't paying attention
   and the tocks between were longer than before.
Breath waned after a miss, a slip and faltering
  and heartbeat, once loud and pounding with strength
  ceased - still and silent
and forever was gone....
