Premium Member old age is yell

my fingernails are treacherously filthy
not merely dirty
disgusting
they have hardened and yellowed
old age is a yell

often with  yellowed orange did insist
In manic depressive mood swings

The Forgotten Keys

One day I cleaned a
bulging and over stuffed top drawer
found three keys hidden
in a yellowed envelope 
marked in red ink skeletons

History

History written with ordinary pencil
It's easily yellowed...
But with ink blood
it's eternal!

They fade away
Cold poems
Yellowed pages
Unread

Old warriors
Cold souls
Unsheathed
Blades dulled

Buried
In tomes


Old Love Letter


Unfaded, though yellowed
Paper wrote on
Love's clear mention.
As fragrant, though musty
The box found in
Love's sweet meaning.

Treasure

a glint of sapphire eyes
	behind a veil …
the tulle has yellowed,
	gems sparkle still.

Premium Member The last drop of ink

The last drop of ink
Smeared  
Across a thought
Soaked
Into a yellowed page
Nestled
Unwanted
In an old
Hand written poem
Dried
In the crease
Of forgotten
Forever’s

Red, white and blue tooth gel becomes diffused with circular motion.
Vestiges on each yellowed or white pearl, clean and polish.
Liberty to smile with effervescence and brilliancy.

Lifeless

Cigarette butts pressed into the ashtray.
 Yellowed fingers from nicotine.
Prematurely aged face,
Wrinkled.
Squeezed inside.
No passion.
Without life.
Drown in his own misery ...

Premium Member Memory

pressed flowers, held dear of someone lost
turned crisp
between yellowed pages
which have begun to stick
once beautiful
now decayed and lost once more

Downy carpet hill,
Yellowed from the sunlight daze,
Rosy-shafted beams
Drifting off to sea
     begin another day,
Waspy tailed whips of clouds
     seemingly write
Onto the newly wet earth.

Portrait #2

boy with yellowed sallow skin
 seams thin  
have you seen him?
  shaken shaky hands with him?
 poured him greasy shots of gin?
    sang his soulless requiem?
 if you have 
    you won't again

Long days
Of August sun
Where nature blinks and shrinks
The dying grass,yellowed in sleep-
Held fast
as
Oat grass
Tinted old gold
Shimmers on tall green stems;
On a clear warm light of evening sun-
Back-lit

Premium Member Santa and Snoopy

Santa got drunk and pissed all over the snow 
bumble tossed it and yellowed Rudolph's' nose
the elves twitched their ears in dismay
Sam the snowman boarded the sleigh 
Santa slept in snoopys house out in the cold

Premium Member Autumn Petals

Petals of memory falling

                                   Upon the yellowed grass

                               Mingled with the autumn leaves

                                 Cool breeze sings of the past

The Card

As I came across the yellowed card

Unfolding lost fond memories

Life pages of long ago

Yearning for those I miss

The lines written there

Slowly became

Soft whispers

My eyes, 

Blurred.

Aging

Hands, aged with sun
Rings grown too tight
Feet, wrinkled by walk
Eyes drooped with tire
Hair stringed with dye
Teeth yellowed with coffee

Each wrinkle
Each taint
Each sun-spot
Each grey hair
Filled with experience
And meaning

Long days
Of August sun
Where nature blinks and shrinks
The dying grass,yellowed in sleep-
Held fast

Grandma

Old buttons and fragile lace gloves
Soft swinging dress and simple pearls
Residing in a wooded frame
She is only a memory

I’ve oft seen her tired solemn face
In the yellowed and worn pages
Of old family picture books
A reflection of poverty

Premium Member The Touch of Poetry

He sits alone
paper yellowed
pencil stilled
gnarled hands
grasping
at a past

She sits alone
keyboard silenced
blue lit hands
reaching
into a future

They sit alone
together
waiting
for the touch
of poetry.

Corner Lamp

Buzzing loudly,
Is that coming from me?
Dust and filth in my shade,
Slightly cracked, was this how I was made?
My light yellowed and dim,
The chances of me getting a new light bulb are slim.
But I've been here for so long,
Everywhere else feels wrong.

purple mountains majesties
our inheritance
every word poetic
the legacy of time
regal lines written
yellowed parchments read

such support and friendship
on a site for writing and words
understanding the paths to fulfillment
