Long Hours and a few Dying Flowers
Long hours tick by, slow and cold As petals drop, and beauty grows old A few dying flowers, once full of grace Now wilted, faded, without a trace Of vibrancy, of life, of color bright Leaving only memories, a distant light The hours drag on, a relentless pace As beauty fades, and time takes its place Yet in the wilting, there's a strange...

Wilting Flowers What in life is commonly shared? But to scream out in frustration together! From this chair, I watch the flowers droop, As useful purpose is cruelly removed; While my freshness disappears, Abhorrently, in sustained tears. I scarcely question depression’s invasion And try half-heartedly contemplating escapism. It’s the complexity of organismal cannibalism Feeding on each other to thrive in this environment, That bends my conscience,...

I lift my face away from my screen the morning light surprises me and fills the room with a eerie comfort I stumble to the kitchen swallow my prescribed sanity I don’t miss the sleep just like I don’t miss you no one notices the flowers are wilting til they fade away...

Asian sun rises from the east Rose seeds beneath the fence For these petals are released The perfumed smell of the rose lingers The scene is hailed by the divine Asian sun rises from the east Although the rose has passed Its impression will remain For these petals are released Death has come and the rose withers No other like it will be spotted Asian...

Wilting Life
To think of wilting flowers, They say is a crime, Though I cannot help but, Dream of wilting all the time. Grey and pink foliage, State of half dead, half not. Dance and writhe to let go, A companion it sought. My once tinted cheeks stretch, To feel such a thing as love, As...

Wilting
I wonder why I put myself through so much anxiety when I was growing up My foot would reach for that gas pedal like my life depended on it The car would run across Orchard The song of choice would take every breath and throw it in front of me I would think of everything I...

Premium Member A Wilting Flower
Quietly I sit and observe the profile of her expressionless young face. She looks so peaceful and serene, a flower in the full bloom of life. Her hair flows softly around her in its auburn beauty. Now I see her eyes flutter open, and observe how thick her long lashes are; how they pleasantly...

Canopy of Oaks
Under my Refuge A canopy of Oaks Sheltering from the blazing sunshine Sheltering from the sweltering heat That has put me to flight To seek the solace of trees Too much brightness, too much light On this summers day The trees are wilting They have no water to drink As on the grounds leaves are falling Carpeting the ground The crow squawks for water To quench its...

Premium Member Wilting Beneath Withered Wishes
Drained and dried by life then left to die She lived to love; but oft was left to cry Counseled to carry on she continues Shriveling as to She'ol her heart schuss Holding on to hopes a hazard in her eyes Immature and imbecilic it implies Weary from wishing an end to her woe she shelters her shredded spirit in shadow Without...

Wilting Away
Wilting away Eyes closed, Body strewn across the bed, Covers every where but on, As I whine, images of you float through my head. Finally I awake, But only to the same dreary nightmare, Your still not here with me, But should I care? Years of waiting, Months of wanting, Weeks of loneliness,...
