Grasses

One more day passes,
Human life is very short,
Resembling grasses
That know the summer season,
Withering in winter wind.

Acknowledgements From the Wind

we were withering seedlings perched in unfavorable soil
until we escaped the comfort zone
and scattered beyond
now the wind calls us dandelions

Joy

A day less night
A night less day
Withering heights
Endless valleys
Wishing soon a well
For a spirit spell
To bring me a love
Of endless joy.

Poison Ivy

Venomous thoughts are
Like a poison ivy plant
That poison your soul
Withering you slowly as
A flower in a desert

singing birds  early dawn
sinking moon sulk up rising
sun  warms up the shores
sands drift release the embrace warm
sweet night withering sweat trickle

Cruel World

Tainted souls and Twisted minds
Unfair world.
Vicious trolls win the polls
Withering honor that once stood strong
Yet Hope persists to right the wrong.

Withering Leaf

withering leaf

   cascades on its thin ribs...

      draped by pearled mist

Thought of the day

both, the ripening fruit and the withering leaf
at the ordained time fall off from the tree
former in fulfilment, latter in decay
which oh hermit, will we be

Withering moments

Everything comes to an end
 flowers wither and die 
leaves wither from trees
 falling to the ground 
our bodies wither with age 
and find their resting place

Prescription

Medicate me
But only until I dream
of this expansion. 

Without your guard up
I cannot predict Silent
Consequences. 

Trite,
Feeble
and Withering. 

I stand up
to pause.

Half Past Summer,Two Months Till Fall

Intense heat and humidity of July’s yellow eyes.
Still, I see mellow leaves, falling from the trees, withering.
Nearly naked, both the skin and the bark, age in season.

The Burning Soul

The life of crying, 
Loss harmful flames to my eyes, 
The bloodshot eyes bursting out, 
Withering soul, without love, 
Dwindling out of control, 
The life of a burning soul.

What We Know

What we know, 
Have no hold 
Although it seems.. 
Truth be told 

Weary souls 
Emotions grow 

Knowledge gained 
Nonchalantly tamed 
Overjoyed thoughts deploy 
Withering sway in dismay..

Make Way For the Dolphins and Whales

today
we don't think
therefore we are not
descartes is dead and gone
machines and computers work and think for us
our minds are shrinking, withering and decaying from lack of exercise

The Blues

Withering of life bit by bit,
A skinny man tumbles with hunger,
Poverty , a blue !

Burning off obesity bit by bit,
Treadmill to a man's excess,
Richness , a blue !

Bouncing Check

Every human is a baby of a kind
Baby conceived is, a promissory note,
The one just born, an overdraft,
Adult baby, a bouncing check.
Old baby, a withering flower
Which one is perfect baby?

The Rose

THE ROSE
 
Lustrous, regal, symbolic, a crown

Withering, drying, petals fall down

Held between fragile fingers

The perfume of the rose lingers

When Yellow Flower Was Dyed Orange Then Red

In this summer month of her what would have been her 21st birthday,
I see bed of withering red orange tiger lilies and say,
"Your death reddened you, yellow flower, into an orange, then red."

Will Life Begin Again

Life, as it were, is withering away,
Like the stars dimming, like pedals falling,
Thee is like a travisty of the mind,
A ponder thee in the sea of madness
Will life end, only to begin again?

Decayed Flowers

Flowers were seen covering the tree yesterday, 
Today they have fallen into the pond in decay.
The hard blow of the east wind is not to blame,
Blooming and withering are naturally the same.
