Premium Member If money were just withered leaves carried by the wind
If money were just withered leaves carried by the wind, I would open a small flower shop on a forgotten street, where days drift by slowly, and the air smells of fresh, gentle rain, and the wind always carries the scent of clear mornings. I would live alone in an old cottage, deep in the mountains, where the trees are...

Tears On A Withered Flower
Fleeting youth, like petals bright, Unfurls with promise, a wondrous sight. Soft as a whisper, delicate as a sigh, Dancing on breezes, with life's twinkling eye. But soon, like autumn's chill, it fades, Withers, and wrinkles, in life's swift shades. Petals drop, like tears, like memories past, Leaving the stem, bare, and forever aghast. The flower's beauty, lost to the wind, Echoes of laughter,...

Premium Member In the twilight of existence, as all closes like a withered flower
In the twilight of existence, as all closes like a withered flower, Monotony extends its tentacles over hearts, stores, and truths, Eyes blind to reality, souls struggle within their own darkness, And people, drunk on their own breath, drown in valueless systems. They do not grow but decay, their souls decompose in deafening silence, Eaten by invisible worms while they...

Not withered by winter
T'was eighty two wonderful years, Before you left me with long tears, As you flew to a place not near, None of my cries you again hear. My loneliness follows the hearse, Your long loud silence made it worse, You now speak only in my dreams, Since your last bath watered the streams. You flew away in November, Twenty eighth, I still remember, It can't...

Phantom Calls
As night falls, a dark melody fills the air with a feeling so deep it is the song of a dark rose tweeting near a corner fence. Dahlia, a withered pale woman lies on a granite slab, still and serene The song transforms the air, calm infuse her chill cells, pungent. Cells overhaul false refluxes taint her veins with lethal hues rose rummages the window like...

This world wasn’t cut for me But I live here for awhile With a mind of a withered tree A tree with indefinite smile Come to my shadow, when it’s too hot I offer a shelter from sun and rain Seeing my meekness, use me as you want Bring me your suffer and pain They chopped me down, to make tables of...

The disease of the withered soul
It's three in the morning - the grave silence breaks my soul, the glass on the coffee table is empty, obliviously I water my soul, it will bloom too. Some birds are chirping in my chest - they sound like cuckoos. Old stories bequeath the saying that when they cry, they shed tears that heal all diseases....

In the sky suffused with joy of my fervent freedom, I let the beguiled soul’s enticed songbird fly high, glide in the spring-sent sensuous rippling breeze, bringing your rose-imbued fleeting scent to me. Drifting in your splendor I sing the song of longing, until the splitting thunder storm of strife surges in from your misty horizon, receding to obscurity, wrenching desertion...

Flowery At Down Withered At Dusk
FLOWERY AT DAWN, WITHERED AT DUSK. Summer today Fall before tomorrow A youth today aged and frail tomorrow If you live to age, maybe on a life borrowed Happy at dawn, at Dusk we sleep in sorrow Birthed in team only to exit in solo My birth gave them joy...

Premium Member This Withered Threshold
Oh- feet of mine that walk the meadows vast and green where azure skies and clouds unfold and a stream comes babbling on a long climb and wind like violins whisper cold as leaves twirl red, orange and gold and in the swaying trees birds sing sublime melodies serene Oh- this withered threshold where time is lingering in a season in-between where bees drink from a faded...

Premium Member Weep Not For Withered Petals-Repost
Each day another velvet petal fell Like somber tears from weeping eyes A perfect flower was severed to quell It lay withering as it drooped and died Perfect flower, from bud to bloom Sweet-scented rose, it was no wonder That stifled in that sepulcher room You were enshrined, awaiting plunder Sadness lingers in me over your demise Withered petals are always a cause for...
