Trailing Poems - Poems about Trailing

Trailing ethereal emotion

A body fashioned out of the celestials,  
The moon in your smile,  
The stars in your eyes,  
The sun in your lips.  

But even the moon, stars, and the sun  
take turns to reign in time.  
Their longevity defined by day and night,  
So as to bring clarity

Trailing Regret

Retracing my steps …
picking up the pieces
of a misguided past
Cleaning up the memories
that so litter my
attention
Given one more chance
to change
the things I never intended
Given one last chance
to right the wrongs
—of my prodigal ways

(Dreamsleep: March, 2023)

Trailing Snoop's Trot

moaning moon munched
by taunted tongue -
gaunt gloom thrust
felon fate flung -
leered lanky lurch
shunned sassy verge

met tuning tree
crumbling crescendos' spree
porous path's plea

saucy swing strapped
tamed tactic trance
dribbling dark dance

shrewd shaver tossed
trailing snoop's trot.

Note: Of plagued picture.

Trailing Closer

Those footsteps ahead
  are now footsteps behind

The past but a memory
  the future declines

My cadence is slowing
  my direction unclear

When frozen in place
  on the wind I can hear

Quiet footsteps ahead
  louder footsteps behind

Their sound fast approaching
  to reclaim and remind

The years stay unpromised
  except for the end

Each

Flowers In Your Hair, Gold Dust On Your Trailing Gown, Robert Lindley and Nicola Byrne

Flowers In Your Hair, Gold Dust On Your Trailing Gown
 ( Robert Lindley and Nicola Byrne )

Flowers in your hair, gold dust on your trailing gown
You my true sky angel, had floated right on down.
Golden sandals on your feet, toenails glowing white
All eternity shan’t see a prettier sight.
Your soft and gentle voice, a million ways

Trailing Soul

Am i human?
Do i Belong?
Who am i Fooling?
I'm almost gone

A broken soul
A lost cause
Life has its toll
Life isn't what it was

Am i lost?
Or was i ever here?
There is always a cost
Don't shed a single tear

You're talking to a ghost
My soul in a shell
I fade past most
Sometimes i just want to yell

No one hears me
no one

Trailing Behind

Time as always presents itself
Or perhaps it be me presenting to time
Another place as well am to dwell
Finding another place to simply fall behind

Did I leave a trail I wonder?
Will there be someone following after?
Of the many things I do so ponder
At a worsen place I might just feel better

Every footstep where shadows fall
Every doorstep

Trailing An Ant Over You

An ant's journey over you
trailing it to have its view
your toe to hair.
Leaving its friends in the queue 
it thought to do something new
so it's now here.
Marching past few morning dews
seeing your nail polish's blue
grabbed without fear.

Climbing your toe with much care
started a journey so rare
on your leg straight,
silky skin so smooth and bare
I followed

Trailing War

In search of peace
the free hand was inflicting casualities.
The kids were buried like insects in a rubble.

Step by step in speculation
the streets were livid with rustic murals
of splintered blood on walls.

The foxgloves had lobbed rockets
on tall heads. Beleaguered
eyes nailed to fire.

I am watching you my art,
to witness the agony of man.
Burn,burn my cupped hands with

Long Trailing Branches

Long trailing branches

Weeping willow crys alone

Sheds her many tears.

Trailing Down

trailing down
feeling like a kite that's fallen onto the ground.
where was that guidance that let me soar into the sky?
it disappeared and let me see into my mind.
and there I went too deep and swallowed to hard...

I could chant myself to sleep by the vibrato of my heart:

I'm a person
I'm a mound
I could open up

Trailing Ghosts

Your time has come
The banshees are rapidly approaching
Can you hear their screams in your mind?
Does the constant rattling and endless wailing
Wake you up at night in a cold sweat?
Does your bedroom feel a tinge of coldness
That causes you to tremble
Knowing that your time has run out
For you have been abandoned
By everyone you have ever loved
Because
