Ends Poems

Consciousness Ends, At The Edge Of The Universe

Consciousness, a fragile spark—
Flickers bright—then fades to dark.
The mind, a house of airy rooms,
Echoes silent in its tombs.

No longer does the heart attend
The thoughts that flutter—break, then bend.
The pulse, the nerve, the waking eye,
All bow before the final sigh.

No ghost of thought—no lingering dream,
No whisper floats upon the stream.
The brain, the throne, dissolves to dust,
And

The Beer Ends Here

To his shame and dismay,
he drank beer all that day;
never did get to the funeral –
held up, he said, at a urinal.

dead ends

artless darts pierce heartless hearts 
garrulous gnats deafen rancorous rats
rabid foxes beget brainless rocks

we are all dead
when it all ends

there are too many dead ends

It never ends, does it

It's amazing, they were right!
It all gets easier in the end
The pain of grief and loss subsides
And the sun can shine again

The moments are much happier
And it all just melts away
When not that very long ago
I couldn't make it through the day

The little things become so big
When your world is all askew,
Quiet, fleeting, the passing

Dead Ends

I pray to the god of everlasting remorse.
I rip out my heart to throw on the altar of dead ends.
May I be delivered from the sinful haters,
To re-establish ties with my benevolent friends.

Life Ends

Regret not lifes end,
for you will have been a star...
in your own movie!

Loose Ends, Intently Tangling

Loose ends left dangling make you nervous.
They crave a neat knot-tie for a conclusion.
A bow to seal, a ribbon to heal,
like shoe-laces they want to be retied, 
to not trip you up.
For loose ends left behind,
untied and loose,
leave you distracted, 
not seeing what's coming next.

But, secretly we love 
loose ends left hanging, dangling,
like wind chimes

WALLFLOWER

as the dance ends ~ the wallflower comes to life

breathless, my journey ends

Dried-up,
___a stream___
in the moor, no-man’s land.
When a soul dares near—
a gunshot blooms

/  Red  /

the barren soil 
will feast on 
anything.

You said amid this desert stands
—an oasis—
A land of innocence, but where you crown sins.
(Greedy, yes,
but that’s all humanity ever is.)
I begged you to point me to the shrine
yet I am left stumbling, 
...blind...

Before

A World Ends

And they would strut around the fire
Then sat upon their stools,
And argued long, in learned terms,
Who wore the better jewels!
But then there was a man about
Who none had seen before,
And though he wore a gentle face,
They felt a gentle horror.
For he did not dance around the fire
Or strut about like fools,
Nor did he argue who

The World Ends Tommorrow

The world might end tomorrow 
But today I am still the man
The seconds keep ticking down 
But for now I am at peace with God
And long enough it will not matter 
But till then, death means much 
For you  it didn't matter till you were born
For me, I am furious I was not an

Where the humdrum ends

Where the humdrum ends

A morning waits when roosters crow in vain,
and stunned eyes are awed by the rising sun.
When nostrils savor the dewy terrain,
as ears tune in to magpies’ chirping fun.

Soon a dawn will bloom and change the asphalt
To hordes of marigolds across lush leas,
where squirrels scramble and leporids vault,
while laughter echoes under maple trees.

There

The End is How It Ends

The End is How it Ends 

The end is how it ends and if it doesn’t we haven’t gotten there yet

As I sit here and the window open and the church bells toll

It’s a reminder that your spirit is lingering and with me

I have watched your torment as we lowered the casket of your first

it never ends

Confederate types some admire
Punctured DEI's entire hire
The world is a throng
And civil war's wrong
But that car just hit their barbed wire

Means and Ends

Means and Ends

Rare earth.
Raw nerves.
Who needs diplomacy
  when he can have good TV?
