Trump's dynasty is surely collapsing His Atlanta hotel is almost vacant and crumbling Pieces of concrete Are falling to the street Guess the date on his unpaid bills is elapsing

Makita X: Plausible Illustrations

Phonetics of oblivion
Sheathed by plausibility
Elapsing cultures with ease
Fathering quaint illustrations
Daring to be discovered
Along fearless avenues
Embellished by the fences
That compose the verses
Of which we refer to as life

Samson Feet

Samson slapping feet of passion
on the warming asphalt passing-
by my seedlings, hardy lasting
can't help feel my youth is passing.
On the treetops, time elapsing,
photos of the flowers hatching.
Spring is coming, Samson running-
feet are planted and are lasting.

Old Uncle's Pocket Watch

OLD UNCLE’S POCKET WATCH

It sticks in the memory now:
First the elapsing day,
Then weeks, months, years,
All shown in a second  then.
It stared not into the future or past.
Its ticks measuring,
Collapsing the moment
Into a non-stop chain
Of silver links,
Its bright case
Stored  timeless  pictures.

Procrastination

Dark clouds looming,
Thunder booming,
in the distance,
Why did I do this?

Time elapsing,
Mountains collapsing,
Near but far,
I wonder where we are?

Could have been done,
Frequently sung,
A dumb thing again,
When will it end?

Getting better,
And getting worse,
Rainy is the weather,
I'll soon need a hearse.

My Birthday Presents

Time is elapsing fleeing my thinking
Each thought becoming a mystery
Age has now overtaken my history
Light’s are dimming with blurring vision
Sounds are silently disappearing
Life has spun by as a tornado twisting
Confusing how birth causes death
Each moment of life has disappeared
My Birthday presents now taken away

Panic Overdose

A racing heart out of my chest
Looking like I’m possessed

Hearing numbed down and blocking
Moving vision section after section
A pictured world laughing and mocking

Times elapsing 
When wills this end
Will this stay for life or just pretend

No one can calm me
The fear, so scared
The closest to death I believe I could feel 
So lost and unprepared
