Lake Or a Mirage

In this desert land
Lake of love or a mirage
What are we, who knows
Wilted minds can be deceived
Our hearts will tell if it's real

Lattice of Cloud

grey clouds weave lattice
of dark dusk on canopy…
wilted willow weeps

The Drooping Lilacs

The drooping lilacs
resemble the wilted poppies 
that wait for rainfall...
their spring glory has vanished!

Tanka

a garden grows
 in the soil where love once bloomed
 a pretty flower
 dies  without love's rain,  and now
 love is but a wilted rose

Embrace of Dawn

cloud clumps weave lattice 
of dismal dusk on tree crown 
wilted willow weeps…
melts away after sad night
sparkling new dawn embraces

Wilted Flower

A wild flower child
Was so careless for short while.
Then so suddenly
Something broke her lovely smile;
Withered through a fate so vile.

Splintered remnant of nostalgic suffering

May your pain erode you alike the touch of stagnation upon a rotting corpse- akin to a wilted rose stained with the stench of fear & longing.

Time To Make a Break

When I married you
It was for better or worse
Only to struggle
Why do I feel as if I've wilted
Only a shadow of myself
Time to make a break

Death Defeated

Black egret
You had come to take
The half-flower child
Though your plans wilted
Like the petals of her skirt
From a single stroke of her hand

A Perfect Surprise

Sweet choir of nature,
from the garden emanates,
the song of the dead.

Something underneath,
the wilted petals of red,
— a perfect surprise.

Rose

devotion's daughter
bent low time beat woman of 
wasted infatuation
strutting carefree on her cane
an elegant wilted rose

Bell of Adieu

Amour in glamour,
     when we were close !
     Bell of adieu rang :
     My feelings froze.
     Pallid petals dropped.
     in wilted rose.

The Wind of Yesterday

Life is
Death is knots
A box of thoughts
Innate
Is not that above?
A twisted thing to ponder
Staring at 
A wilted rose by the casket out yonder

Wilted Flowers

The flowers wilted
no sunshine on the meadow
no light hit the ground
barely raindrops on the plain
not able to revive them.

The Wilted Rose

Bouquets overflowed
marriage smelling like a rose
years came and they went
fragrant flower lost its scent
like wilted rose in repose.

Once I Was..

Once I was an unplanted rose
Waiting to be watered
So I would grow into a life of beauty
Now I am
A wilted flower
Falling head first 
Into the ground

Pruning

deadhead any grudges
slough off wilted feelings
instill a will to replenish
what was lost with more
abhor stagnation
regain greater growth

The Wilted Rose

the rose bows its head
  its song of beauty too brief,
 just one final blush
   before autumn sets the sun
    and then, it withers away....

no sunshine on the meadow
   no light hit the ground
barely raindrops on the plain

I Heard That Wilted Lettus Is Bad For You

I can no longer zip up my kilt.
Is there something to eat without guilt?
They say salad's a must
but I think it's a bust
because gravy makes the Lettus wilt!

Cycles of the Soul

Wilted leaves leave fall

                                       frost bitten in decayed states

                                          flowers must bloom soon
