Muse, sideways glancing,
Withdraws from informing me
And makes Life austere....

FOR A WHILE
(To my friends at PS)


My pen
Withdraws to the
Land of silence
Where
The voice of
Muse cannot be 
HEARD!

Her eyes profuse tenderness, 
immersed in a beautiful silence,  
imagination withdraws her from human existence
and lub-dub is all she listens to, her essence....

as chilled ice withdraws

         hued buds explode in darkness…

    greeting flame of March

wrapped in summer's
aura of haze
an almost full moon
alternately
bursts forth and withdraws
withdraws and springs forth
plays 'peek-a-boo'
with this nyctophiliac...

In this late hour, the moon withdraws behind a cloud
Hiding her face and her light so dearly loved
And wraps herself in her old, moth-eaten shroud
As the last jack-o’-lantern’s flame is finally snuffed....

What a dreadful experience must be 

For the one who peace in his heart hasn't found

When he withdraws into himself some calm to get

Confronts instead an angry crowd!

Wake’s retreat brings calm,
Silence cloaks the once-roaring,
Unease whispers near.

Nightfall descends, hushed,
Absence of life’s symphony,
Uneasy shadows.

Atmosphere withdraws,
Silence shatters tranquility,
Unease lingers, still.

The rain flings itself
Against the chrome
Splatters and withdraws
To its prickly realm
Like the timid entrepreneur; 
Who must slam stopped
Before the crowd
Whose audience rumbles on
Without notice
Who quickly gathers himself
And evaporates....

What more a f*cking fickle fable
Is found forlorn like this

Full of feeble fallacies
Far from fields of bliss

A word abused like ‘love’ 
withdraws,
so when it finally shows

It shines too brightly
Or too dim…
And kills whatever grows
...

The elderly are precious
Please let them know
Like a bud they have matured
Into a blossom to behold

Beware of the chill that folds the flower
It withdraws like the old
With a caress of warmth and tenderness
It'll unfold to become a Rose.

Winter withdraws its cloak from the hills
Quietly revealing this spring's newborn green
My tired heart  with sweet anticipation fills
The world seems somehow bright and clean
And nature's hope and promise again convene

Dawn’s herald sounds forth,
Night’s ramparts are stormed,
Her daunting walls breached.

Westward she withdraws,
Her keep abandoned,
The conquest complete.

Day’s standard flies high,
Proclaiming rebirth,
Warming the chill land.

Incessant, scream 
of existing silence, 
Withdraws,
When watching 
The flat screen 

Vast  planes,
A flame of a lady,
Presents, her assembled
Plate, before the shinning 
Duke 

Microwave, baked beans 
pressing my tongue, to knuckle,
sip of milk, listening 
To gun fire, wiz,
On surround sound...

She withdraws again
Her temperamental tide
Her wavering retreat
Her natural divide.

He must wait again
The patient one, he lies.
And all that she had sated
He slowly leaves to dry.

Both know she'll return
But she's sure she won't stay.
For Mother's hand dictates:
From the land, sea moves away....

Ego busted

Ego busted, then why fear death
When God’s life force withdraws
If thought forms yet spiral in stealth
Soul’s stained by ego’s paws

Destiny’s die is cast
Hermit, be not aghast
This breath may be our last

Done and dusted
Ego busted

Quietly toasting my skin in early morning sun
Sounds of Malta ringing in my ears
Hearts beating rhythmically within
Like engines revving
Cranes swinging
And stones dropping into place
Six storeys high
Birds wings heard fluttering around, trilling quietly
As noon brings peace, and noise withdraws
And people rest in the siesta....

October Tease - Etheree


Spent,
Summer
sets the stage
withdraws on cue
beneath cloudless blue.
October lays her quilt
upon chilled and browning fields
leaves - a touch of artist’s brush
cool breath upon the neck of Winter
soft dalliance as rainbow curtain falls.

Her eyes close as he enters

 her lips move as to speak
     but there is silence

         he withdraws

   her eyes quickly open
 as though her eyes could
             speak

   She instantly pleads

          he enters

   Her eyes gleaming
 she playfully retreats

       He implores
         he enters
       she screams...

They tell you to ment what is broken,
but what if broken is ment to be broken.
They show you a world without flaws
but what if our reality comes with withdraws
A gift of imperfections to shine upon the surface
Layering emotions that do make us nervous
As fear is the chain that keeps us in line
So tight up to the system as we bite our time

Do not be deceived.
When Lust is enticed,
She opens up 
And searches round
To find Temptation
Which is erect.
He ravishes her
And thrusts his seed,
Then withdraws
After she conceives;
Sin is formed.
Within her womb
It writhes and kicks;
Her water breaks.
She brings forth death
Beloved brethren.

Wind suddenly rules the day with strong hands
         as dusts spread their tentacles
               beckoning on the sky.

     The sun quickly withdraws into its shell
          the cloud bursts open to spray
                  inhabitants beneath.

do not give in to fear
for it withdraws you
and makes your way unclear

it says you're never right
takes away confidence
turns your day into night

it calls your name out loud
then proceeds to turn
your clear sky to a dark cloud

it never stops trying 
to  discourage you
likes to hear your crying

fear desires that you quit
don't be discouraged
Never fall in its pit...
