Best Faded Poems

Close ...

So close, you were skin to my flesh,
          Marrow to my bones ...
               Suffusing my being and breath

                 By the serene riverside
             I found a faded yellow leaf

I’ve always been restless since I was a kid,
to settle near drives me insane.
I’ll just throw together the best that I can
what I own and be gone again.

Boxes long packed I had stacked in a shed,
are obsolete, so I feel that I have
to lighten my...

Within the cinereal swirls
of clouded skies
I hear the quickened beat
of my pulse, fall within my steps
and the echoes of mind
on these empty streets
as i walk alone, lost
beneath the shadows
of buildings that fall
from lambent light
of crescent moon
in its slow rise

I see the glimmer
of thousands of faceless...

Thoughts how they fade from white to gray,
and the memories we made, 
                                turned...

I was here once 
But now I'm one of the forgotten ones
I faded away slowly
Imperceptibly 
Like the once vibrant blue of blue jeans
The edges frayed 
as I walked along the road of fleeting popularity
I felt my fabric thinning
until I became comfortable 
It made me kinda...

And leaves faded old are flying,
withered red, burnt orange and gold:
and the birds in trees are crying;
the mornings have a hint of cold !

Autumn is weeping, weeping rain,
and leaves faded old are flying:
garden flowers decay and wane;
tomorrow they will be dying !

Autumn hues intensifying,
with chill...

Tear drops fall
between silent lines
carrying the tune
of this weeping melody
written on my heart’s
faded sheet music

Scales cry in sharpened flats
twisting treble clef sorrows
Candelabras drip pain
on withered fingers
roaming ivory slivers bleeding 
out of tune syncopation
 
Unheard choruses
in three quarter sadness
wasted on black and white keys
played long after
the...

A faded leather notebook filled with lines he'd never read
  Was never far away from where he slept
The book that she had written since her love was but a seed
  A book so full of her he always wept
She never let him read...

Faded Painting

From the moment that first we met,
I dipped my brushes to keep them wet.
I filled a large canvas with you and me.
I created the painting I wanted to see.

But I didn't paint a clear sky of blue.
Not even when our love was new.
I couldn't...

Just on a whim I took a walk,
following the trills of a lark
Along new trails did I embark,
not recognizing a landmark

Fearing the worst, if truth be told,
along unknown paths I had strolled
The air touched me with frigid cold
Sunlight faded to tarnished gold

Cicadas sang as they...

FADED

I was visible once
but now one of the forgotten ones.
I faded away slowly
imperceptibly,
like the once vibrant colour of blue jeans.
My edges frayed 
as I walked along the road of fleeting popularity.
I felt my fabric thinning
until I became comfortable.
It made me kinda cool in a way.
I...

The sun went down before mid day. 
And left me just walking away.
To feel the darkness cover me.
And wonder if I'll ever see.

The light of day has a new shade.
Since that dark day that the devil made.
A momentary lapse of love.
Where angels couldn't see above.

The...

f a d e d  and jaded, 
complicated and aloof-
I've been created
and replicated, 
        with no living proof.
I'm nothing but 
dilapidated,
left alone and 
                deteriorated. 

washed-out and 
colorless.
few is more, 
         ...

My older photo books sit on the bottom shelf.
Sometimes I dust them off and look at every page.
Revisiting the past through faded Polaroids
reminds me of the changes wrought by time and age.

I gaze upon the faces of my school-day friends,
three siblings, cousins, and myself. Our...
