Clouds come and go in the sky
Heavy heart inside...

Endurance of mind wilts doubt.
both frail- absent will....

wrists won't turn to roses,
for what fault bears a rose
but when it wilts?...

Waited ages for
You to come, in emerald fields,
A forlorn rose wilts.

Wilts the bloomed flower
indulging in hankerings
drying fragile bones
disappearing loving look
turning off once kind spirit...

~It's Out There~

Green colored field 
A flower without the sun 
Wilts from distrust 
now washed away 
by the man storm

How long 'til rose wilts
once I place it on your grave?
We lay you to rest.
Gone too soon are you from us,
today as we bury you.

Sad unmoving air
Humidity wilts flowers
Animals search for water
Sauna-like setting
Barren ground is parched, dry, cracked
Miserable hot summer...

Without love the blossom wilts,

the Scot he sags beneath his kilt, 

johnson has no more words to tilt,

Robert Haigh's star is arising...

Yoga positions
pretzel launching pad, painful
crowd wilts from fitness

senior endurance
festiness charges living
folks uncurl, relieved

Her kiss reached his lips?
Single tick turned double blue.
One sided love wilts

Those flowers rotting on the grave,
a sorry sight to see, I thought;
but then I found his ghost appears
and wilts them when they're freshly bought...

The naked trees have melted
their colors to the ground...
The cool air wilts the flowers
and steals the birds sound...
The vision is chilled and profound...

should I fear my autumn
when Juniper wilts with me
and the sagging stars above
edge closer to the sea

should I fear my autumn
with winter still to show
my days hasten their step
for night engulfs me so

humming honeybees

collect nectar from flowers

shunning one of them

the blooms smile despite sun’s glare 

the one shunned wilts in despair

Every becoming part of a flower
is a meditation by rote.
From seed to lovely bloom
a processional unfoldment.
When the bloom wilts
beauty unveils,
the flower sleeps
as if day were night
and all was ever
but a dream....

People who want misery 
will find it in everything

An angel becomes the devil
The flower wilts
A cloud blocks the shining sun

Angry people pick fights with you
pretending it's themselves


Don't be your own
 Worst
   Enemy....

On the occasion of the Westbury Cement Works tower being demolished ...


Farewell then Westbury cement works tower,
No longer over south wilts will your presence glower,
Once you were used by Lafarge
But now you'll be gone, just like Farage....

A cool Autumn breeze
Wilts the foliage of trees,
The leaves slowly fall.
*
The leaves slowly fall 
Waving their way to the ground,
Wafting, side to side.
*
Wafting, side to side
Dancing in an Autumn breeze,
The raining of leaves....

They cut down the tree 
    in front of my home
  Without its cool shade
    the grass wilts on the lawn

  Nesting place of squirrels and birds
    went the way of the world...
  My world awakes to an empty dawn
    comfort, delight ~ forever gone...

... the young from the womb,
    anytime found transient, fleeting
    by the crestfallen, sullen tomb;

                  youth, with vim ablaze,
                  wanes and wilts with time's slow oozing;
                  years deface even the fairest face......

In my mind
	A flower
	As beautiful as it can be.
	Big and red and lovely
	For all the world to see.

But in my eyes
	The flower
	Wilts and slowly dies.

My mind is kind and shows me
What it is I want to see.

But in my eyes
	I see the world
	As it can only be....

Boulder shoulders, 
bursting biceps,
terrifying to see,

    a menacing mountain 
    of a muscle-man
    he used to be.


Now, bedridden,
he wilts away his days
till the end arrives.

    This nursing home's 
    locked doors hide 
    closing and closed lives....
