My days are numbered...

Pandemic brings anxiousness,
Strong storms rock the world....

Move over young Tim, here I come
Going to challenge your title, you better run
My romantic side
Is gonna whip your hide
Your days are numbered as Romancer Number One

Fog thick as thieves reduces sight
Misty drops drip from eaves
All's quiet in nature's realm
How my heart slowly bleeds

Time seems to be swiftly ending
Days are numbered 'pon wall
See the calendar's pages move_
Xes seem to voice sqall  ...

go cast some spells,
ride a broom,
eat someone's guts,
and don't give a ,
life is short,
days are numbered,
matematic we are all dead,
practic, we still breath,
more y days will come,
so what!
lets make a pile,
i wonder,
how many  do we need,
to reach the sky?...

You've made me happy in so many ways
You brighten up even the darkest of days
Your love I know without a doubt
Will be with me until my life runs out
Our days are numbered, we know this is true
I'm so thankful to spend mine with you
I'll love you babe, until the end of time
For that's exactly how long you'll be mine...

And I'm cool with that.

Past point of needin
believin in
all things to all folks

now honin on ownin
perfect not neglect
gifts like egg yolks

puree and saute
scramble and maybe
some salsa today
(ok, probly)

glad i've made friends with some 
people not good what I am
but good what i'm not!

'cause we're all in it together....

Life  in this  lonely  world 
can be such a mess 
Waking  up every  morning 
Feeling  lonely  and  lost
The  thought
That  we are  guests
how  our days  are numbered 
All in the  same  queue
Queueing for a present 
Death inside  the  box 
The  best leading  the que
And  the worst at the back
Life  can be such  a mess...

My past is gone
Disappeared
Like smoke in the wind
Days of wonder
And childhood dreams
Unfulfilled
Have been eaten
By old age
And cast out
Like a hook
On a fisherman’s fly reel
These days
The lake is empty
And the cast
No longer goes as far
As it once did
My days are numbered
And I have grown
Much too old
To reel the line
In...

To Him,a day is but a thousand year,
a thousand year,a day;
My days are numbered one by one
with me Lord,have your way;
Then,when my days are passed away
and finished,by and by,
Life,with a sigh,cut off,I'll fly,
to rest by 'yon river nigh,
In a place sans night and day,where
a thousand year,is but a day.


Inspired by Ps 90:9 & Rev 22...

Despond,despair then decline,
Whilst wiser one recall:
Days are numbered for us all.

Inching ,ever unregarded,
The relentless timebelt turns;
Days are numbered for us all.

Reminiscing days of old,
Stories of yesteryear unfold;
Days are numbered for us all.

Here and there a fall,a stall,
Ever onward is the call;
Days are numbered for us all....

Distractions that are trivial,
have kept this poet sane.
Through passing seasons,
counted hours,
daydreams like waters rained.

 I've doetted on the little things,
to advert those inner eyes.
for they know my darkest secrets,
concealed in pretty lies.

 My days are numbered in this cell,
My "time" slips quickly by,
I view myself in passing pools,
reflections in prisoner's eyes....

There's nothing about us,
That God doesn't know.
He knows where we've been,
And yet where we'll go. 

He discerns what we see,
And overhears us speak.
But give Him our heart,
And our life He will tweak.

While days are numbered,
And we're not in charge.
We can live our beliefs,
Living out our life large.

Always being cognizant,
Of each thing we do.
For when least expected,
Death will find you....

Days are numbered!

Days of darkness without end
 Madness scourge has come again
Numbers will be known and then
Warriors, white light will defend

Evil is an evil vile 
 nasty bitter constantly
Never let the beast beguile,
 use you treat you wantonly

White of light do use it well,
 Darkness can seduce you too,
Therein lie the fires of hell, 
Dodge it sidestep it wants you

where it takes you,your steps
are you aware
those who wander from the shore cliff

why is slow your steps
do you know that
the weight of the load on back  everyone

how it lasts,your steps
who understands
the difficulty of your life

where is stars from your steps
the witnesses who
someone knows eternal

will end when your steps
how many days are numbered
everyone is a prisoner of time...

Yes! It is April again
When the rain descends heavily
Over our land and plants 
Every fourth month of the year
I remember the day I was born
And every year in April
I get closer to my grave
Every time in April I remember
How fast the clock ticks
And every year in April
I write my success story
For my days are numbered
When a person fools me
Sometimes it help cools me
For in April I was born...

I have grown tired and weary
Feeling drained and defeated
My desire to give is no more

I have tackled the fight 
I've exhausted all my punches 
Done trying to settle the score

Am I expecting too much
From this life that I am living?
There's gotta be more than this

What happened to Happy wife, Happy life'?
Feels like those days are numbered
Is this what becomes of wedded bliss?

Even though many my days are numbered;
     the forever setting sun.
And with the number of days at hand,
     my imagination is on the run.

It creeps about day in and day out;
     eternal bliss of envy and sight.
It screams aloud about my dorm,
     one more number this night.

For as finals draw near;
    I get less and less sleep.
And as the sun starts to rise,
    I hope these lessons will seep....

It appeared out of nowhere,
mysteriously
A thousand set of eyes
gasped in fear with utter surprise
It was an unforgettable sight ...
An invisible hand,
with only fingers to be seen,
wrote prophecy on a king's palace wall:
Babylon's days were numbered,
Babylon will fall
It is written, that this will happen a second time
If you see an invisible hand writing on the wall,
will you still choose to remain blind?...

This isn't an ordinary gift.
This isn't an ordinary noise. 
This isn't an ordinary voice. 
This isn't an ordinary choice. 
So, let us rejoice!

Time will continue to count forwards,
but our days are numbered.
So, do something worth while,
write something worth while,
say something worth while,
love someone worth while.
Most importantly, live a life worth living 
while our hearts keep beating, and our minds keep learning....

The face you show to the world is false
A deceit intended to mislead;
To draw in the innocent
So that you can manipulate
And corrupt to your evil ends
I see you; I see your artifice.
I will expose you, expose your fraud
and your deviancy.
The face you show to the world
Is not the face I see
For I am your Nemesis:
Your exposure is my mission,
Your defeat the ultimate conclusion.
Be afraid, Hypocrisy
Your days are numbered....

Heaven is a place that I intend to go
My imagine that it is a lovely place to be
God forgave them as he was on the Cross
He died and lived so that we would not be lost
No one will do that for me
I am grateful that I have another chance
to be the best person in this life
the days are numbered
time is passing by
being saved before you die
wake up, and now you realized
made it through to a better place
now you can feel very safe....

Who Still Remain

What would you do when you knew?
Your days were numbered and very few
Left and last one was almost here
And now was alone and no one was near.

What eloquence should be on my epitaph;
Of me, there never was a photograph;
It seems like everyone had forgot
All of the happiness I had brought.

Off to heaven and away I'll go
And finally realize and then know
All I did and thought was not in vein
Even for fools on earth who still remain....
