Faded Poems - Poems about Faded

In a city of shadows and faded smiles, where tears flow beneath slow eyelids, lost souls seek refuge, people frozen in their own chimera, aged too soon by the fear of change, as life's tectonic plates collide, and they sway in a cradle of illusions, believing eternity unfolds beneath their steps. Under the gray sky of forgotten promises, hide the shelters of the mind,...

The painted swings now rusted in the breeze, A silent playground where no laughter rings. The faded murals on the peeling trees, A broken carousel where no joy springs. The whispered secrets, lost in tall dry grass, The empty sandbox where small hands would pass, A fading echo of a carefree time. A shadowed memory in life's harsh climb. The dreams we held,...

Cracked edges, a sepia sigh, dust motes dancing in a sunbeam, illuminating faces, ghosts of laughter. A woman's smile, frozen mid-bloom, her dress, a whisper of a bygone style, the fabric's pattern, a forgotten language. A man's hand, resting on a child's shoulder, the grip, a silent promise, now just a shade of warmth, a phantom pressure. The backdrop, a garden, a street, a...

In the frozen air and frost gripping the malachite meadow within the mystique mask of the arctic dawn, defoliated lone tree wrapped by dismal melancholy, stands static as shadowless sentinel of dormant dreams. From the melted chilling clasp of the glacial desire I rise, the heartening rhythm of the serenading heart I hear, the music of love resonates with the symphony...

Isn't it true that you fall in love with the silence that remains when everything has faded? You admire your past footsteps, once regretted, and see the mistakes born of pride, When quietness settles like a blanket over life's noise and lost shadows, The voice that echoes in that calm leaves you amazed, like an echo from the...

Loyalty has faded in the years gone by. Appears to be close at hand, it was once honesty, integrity, and love. Loyalty has faded Envy right now replaces Loyalty like overflowing masks full of disguises. Loyalty has faded Kinship is no longer thick and non-attached. Loyalty has faded A single individual who harbors grudges with misery relevant to the...

It was beautiful, until it wasn't, A fleeting dream, a moment's thought. We rushed in, hearts ablaze, But soon, the fire turned to ashes and shame. I held on tight, with hopeful heart, Believing love would play its part. But kisses sweet turned to pain, And pushed me away, like summer rain. I thought I could be the change, The reason he'd rearrange. His heart,...

Faded Love Vanishing rainbow, freezing rain, dead desire, broken life Lost faith, sinking fate, desert life, fear, lost hope, a knife A blade in a heart, that is dead, lost wistfulness, torn blood But the love was for blue blood, not mine, dream said guys A soul carries this misfortune throughout a life, sad lifetime Always, every time on his way,...

The dreams faded, The soul faded. I remained— Without my remains. Fragments of hope scattered in the winds, once sturdy pillars of belief, now crumbling into whispers. I reached for shadows, only to find darkness. What echoes of me still linger, unanswered questions— ...

It’s sad to see you now With trembling wrinkles, And somber gray hair… It feels like a shadow Has crept in around my thoughts, Pouring darkness over the moments, Destroying the peace that once was… It’s so very sad to see you now, Your cloudy eyes, Lingering in my prayers, Senses steely, like the dawn’s heavy sigh, Remember, remember… When you were just a child When...

Complacency is like a sand timer, each grain a moment slipping through, a slow trickle of potential, filling the void of inaction, until the last grain falls, and we find ourselves in the stillness, staring at the empty glass, haunted by the echoes of time gone, wondering where our dreams have fad ed...

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 smiles survived, despite time’s yellow tinge obscuring other features. Those brilliant smiles...

Sometimes the only solace to loneliness is the fading photographs around me... many pictures in black and white, some of them are in albums, some on the wall - in ornate frames, which I would never replace! The oxidized metal carries the aroma of the past, Pictures speak to us, aloneness dissipates! The picture of my mom and dad on their wedding day…the beaming...

A faded photo of his father all that’s left of the man A centerpiece in his son’s home on the mantle it stands The creases in the photo ...

Click-click; just a fleeting moment in time, But I still recall as if yesterday, That warm summer afternoon quite sublime As you posed for me in that modest way. You sat on the grass, your skirt spread around, While, behind you, the sun shone on the lake. Click-click; I will never forget the sound, Although they took just that instant to take. And,...
