Best Expiration Poems

She is:
beautiful &
precious
everything i'm looking for

We kiss:
extraordinary &
fabulous
surely, I want more

I have spent so long 
waiting,
imagining your style

I want you because your strong
debating
unwilling to cramp my style

In your memory
I've written a Limerick
a Senryu
maybe two

On the phone 
I speak in rhetoric
with lustful words 
to you....

Expiration Fate

Exhale
breath in retreat…
life… denying stasis
of respirations yin and yang -
fulfilled..

Expiration Date
Written: by Tom Wright
4/4/2016
Jimmy’s expiration date was 4-4-2016 at 2:15 PM

At inception God assigns each, an expiration date,
Some dates seem premature, some linger until late.

Man does all he can to prolong this time on earth,
But we all start expiring at our moment of birth.

Our...

Mine eyes shall come benighted - Sunshine gone;
Winded upon final stretch of marathone.

Whilom self - A Brother - Cousin - Friend,
Writer - Son; An earthly throb dealt its end.

Fated finish line - Spirit delighted;
Many questions answered when enlighted.

O blues come - weep not at a...

Her thoughts bled from her fingertips
In the form of ink, they created art
She churned her words in sync to the beat
Taking music from the pain in her heart 

Woven words roll down her face
Saturating the canvas beneath
Adorning her sorrows with delicate lace
Lovely strokes from a...

EXPIRATION DATES - 20190122

We’ve all got inspiration dates,
But we can only guess at when.
From first breath ‘til the end,
Our lives were pre-measured by the Fates.

That doesn’t mean we can’t shorten our time
By taking risks with unhealthy lifestyles.
The Grim Reaper sadly grants no extra miles;
Life’s not...

I was long beyond expiration date
When you plucked me off the shelf
You must have seen something in me
Not apparent to everyone else 

I was running on exhaust fumes
Way beyond the fail-safe zone 
Thinking chances of redemption 
Passed me by when I was stoned. 

Women were not the problem
There were more...

EXPIRATION :
Existence of certainties and uncertainties, 
Governed by disclosed and undisclosed warrantees,
The story is actually a mystery. 
Promises become unfulfilled, 
And the expectants turn to wail. 
If we choose to talk about that,
Nothing would be considered by heart.
It's still the same old tale without doubt,
Of...

Your Expiration Date
By Rick Rucker

Perhaps one should not know his Fate,
Not even his expiration date,

He might do something different then,
So that information is beyond our ken,

If there is more than one path,
To change it, might incur Fate’s wrath!

If you altered your life every day,
Would it...

It might become too ironically
and iconically embareassing
to admit
I am taking a (s)hit
while exploring
my latest
and perhaps final 
nutritional surmise
compressing peak climax 
surprise

A well-capitalized
Systematic Theology
of EcoLogical Systems
is not such 
an inviting much
of a moving title

Yet herein
we might energetically
if not also massively 
invite "should"
raise up Yang's enlightening strengths
without...

What crap.
I write of this and that
 the dog, the birds, the cat.
In these random fluctuatinos
 can't imagine where to be punctuating.
Use the comma, colon, apostrophe for contractions
 as i slip and slide to my own in-actions.
A cap, a misspelled word
 what I was saying...

Give me guarantee in life 
As life is not one
Tell me there is another way
How long have we searched
Endlessly hoping it exists 
Reality in life is not true to us

More often we should wait
Everyday we wait for life to be better

Another day builds just a...

I am fire and rhapsody in my private chambers.
Inside out, I am flourishing, animated, and measured.
My heart pumps owning the same conviction at age 15.
My hormonal sexual splendor surely must be the same 
dense river I swam at 20. 
In the mirror, I see only...

The smoke ascended 
through the wind of fire and rain; 
till it disappeared....

I knew our love was passed it's expiration date
But I still ate what you put on a plate
Now I'm left with stomach ache
I shouldn't have ate, the leftovers after our love reached it's expiration date

A dream gone wrong forces you to wake up
Some things should...
