Premium Member Speak of It Not

This little thing, once proud in love and lust, now hides its face and soon it will be dust. Gone is the lustre and delight of fond imaginings, as shadows deepening enfold what once seemed ever bright, impervious to encroaching night....

Declining Years
Sitting on a garden wooden bench I made many years ago. I hear the many birds that have made their home in my garden. I’m not afraid to sit on the bench for I made it strong like I was then. Now, time has robbed my once sleek body and left me with age...

Declining Invitations
I started by declining invitations Just feeling a bit tired was the excuse It’s funny how we often fool ourselves Waiting for the world to tie the noose It’s an easy thing to fall and lose our focus When the road is full of potholes and gloom To lower the bar of expectation To see only the thorns and not the bloom Though...

Premium Member Declining Desire
Declining Desire Thank you for a hand, raisin a waning wieny, for paying lip service to resur-******** of the dying. Thank you for taking into your motherhood, my little man, allowing him to feel, to touch, to give as much as he can.

Declining a Wedding Invitation
invite me to the divorce, for that, i’ll come & see, right now i can’t be bothered with more religious conformity & if you say that it’s got nothing to do with “yahweh,” “god” or “allah,” but rather a mayor, city clerk, or a judge, who will seal your tomb this hour, i still decline this invitation & not so humbly, for there’s no need this...

Sorrow Declining a Healing
Sponge socks, for walking on your eggshells quietly whether they're robin's egg blue in the rain speckled and peppered with bundles of pain or whether they're white like innocence bleached by the sun, on the beach in a driftwood dry nest Poppy petals, for covering over your eyelids of tears whether they're brimming for long lost romance or promises pandered or fleeting...
