Best Terminal Poems

What's most inportant in life?.... today
not tomorow but now,
Now is for living, loving, giving...today
yesterday has memories good and bad
but today is for you and Dad.
You see people rushing, pushing, shoving
everyone in a hurry,
wishing the time away.
If only they would stop and think
they're wishing their lives...

with the sun setting, 
dusk darkens the ground below
and vistas fade out~
days flee like defeated youth
as we tread slow to our grave...

Cancer it breaks cancer it takes
It erodes and corrodes body and soul
Lingers and takes hold  cant be stopped or controlled
Terminal is with an apparent ending
Loss of hope and no point in pretending
Life span is against natures clock
Head now on the proverbial block
Spreads with ease...

There was a fellow named Cheesing
Who felt bad because of his sneezing.
His friends stayed away
To avoid the overspray.

The ticking of the clock
Echoes in the silence
Of the room.
Time,
Like my life
Ebbing away....

My weapons of mass destruction,
Find shelter in your hands with ease,
Although you wish to destroy me,
I remain coming and going as I please.

I'm your everwaking struggle,
Daily knocking at your door,
I'll deprive you of a purpose for living,
Leech to your surface and suffocate your core.

I'm the...

Outlook travels farther from being groovy
attracts human sympathy not envy
at it, illness nibbles
getting the more feeble
wall slowly climbed by the deadly Ivy....

Came home from land of Israel on a red eye flight
Connecting routes canceled because of winter’s bite
I'm camping in the airport with fluorescent view
A weary pilgrim in terminal number two....

I have a lot of questions that I doubt you’ll be able to answer
It’s been half a year since we found out about your cancer 
I don't know why it took me so long to talk, guess I was scared
That no matter how much I...

Terminal velocity maximum thrill, always falling against my will,
Acceleration gives me a chill, supersonic speed but standing still…
Falling in love with just one look, my romantic desires by the brook,
An exotic escapade by the book, lavish lavender skies is all it took…

Falling into Oblivion beyond...

Life Is Terminal

By: Olivia Rodrigue


Though there is light ever present
It fades, flickers and is swallowed

Life passes in snippets and snapshots
 moments and memories
 heads full but hallowed

As people we are more than one person in life
we are us
 we are we
 we are friend, lover...

Everything revolves around Nothing
Absolute Inconclusion
I am Cold and I am Rejected
Not Once… But Every time I hurl my love on an Unsuspecting Soul,
it seems that they are not Aware… not Ready
This Cold expands from the tips of my fingers,
to every Sliver of Nerve left in...

travelers waiting
busy terminal buzzes
loud piped in music
occasional temper flares
late departure time announced
