The Lunar Vein and Sunken Emeralds
The cragged moon, a curdled, midnight bloom, Where veins of frost, dissect a shadowed room. A galaxy of mold, on lunar stone, A whispered legend, soft and darkly known. It weeps a brine, a sharp, celestial tear, A pungent phantom, banishing all fear. Then, amber relics, in a glassy tomb, Where time's slow fingers, weave a spiced perfume. Each wrinkled emerald, a sunken,...

Standing On Sunken Cities
O, Heavenly Father how long must you keep me here standing on sunken cities? I am still crying to you in anguish tired of being torched by the flames of enemy forces day in and day out Shield me inside the caves you have built on the outskirts of these cities create a way for me in your presence to keep me...

Sunken Halo
I. They burgeoned above my nostrils With buds that obscured my visions They walled my head with fences Towered above my five senses Distant from myself, things looked too low Until I drew closer, I couldn't tell Just how down I was Just how far God's love had to come for us II. They soared above my perception Shot beyond my wildest imagination Exceeding stellar peaks Like pilgrims...

Respect for the Sunken Sea David J Walker Call home the bison to blacken And roam freely the prairie floor Once more as if farms failed and Farmer flailed about a desperate ruin The rains run north or south but never Here nor never there The dry air invites the sun to Turn the towns left to rust Into...

Premium Member In a Sunken Garden
In the sunken garden of love, Pure water is conserved. For-get-me-nots grow from above. Fragrant roses are served. Love will make our scent sing, Birds fly and thrill with zing, I feel i am a king. Time up says the warden, In the sunken garden. Quietus ...

Body
I look into the mirror I barely recognize myself My skin is pale My eyes sunken in Inside is broken, While the outside withers Who am I but myself? Something broken and dead I feel my own heart A steady rhythm My thoughts are scattered My smile bland I feel like I am dying Inside I am already dead Who am I? I no longer feel like myself Hopeless and withered My...

A Shifted Responsibility
A sunken face on all sides pale, As the owner’s head keep supporting a pail, Then, to the also saddled younger, He flung a suffocating order: That he his own suppressive load take over, And if he so wished bear it forever, But must not any bitter tale, Dare to their daddy tell, About a sudden disgraceful inability, Or a shifted responsibility, As all hearers...

My Never Failing Love
Love Walking with a sunken pain, I limp every next, for pride. No faith, no belief, not even greed, in my losing stride. Wasted for good, wasted by glory, I seek an emotion. Slapped by fate, robbed by time sensing a premonition. Well, the times shall change, the times shall sail. But the love, for...

Premium Member Haunted Ocean
Haunted Old Ocean; Specters swim throughout the sea; For many a good ship has, Met its final doom; Within the tempestuous, Waters and cannot move on. On stormy nights you May see a ghostly visage; A ship that no longer sails. Know that beneath lay, One in its watery tomb; It’s calling to warn…”Danger”! Its last memory Before fate let the waters, Collect another victim. ...

Sunken Silhouette
Oh my dear, I do see your silhouette; Sad as it seems your tears steadily drip, crashing to the floor but oh so quiet. My love, I do fret I cannot quite rip this puppeteer of pure pain behind your eyes. “Come closer my love,” but she stood quite still. Though the tears become puddles as she cries, the dark fears cannot...

Promises Broken, Forsaken, Sunken
Broken hearted, I hand in my resignation From seas of disappointments I’ve suffered At your hands in stagnation You nurtured, progress snuffed, your ego puffed In your Ivory Tower where power Looms strong on the agenda You pursue every second, every minute, every hour Regarding back to sender As top priority my concerns set at the bottom of the list You draw up In the...
