As the heat subsided
A cool grayness crept in
Exhausted shadows slept
Limp leaves exhaled hope
Open windows inhaled it

Belly Button

All In is
the place my belly button was
born. He just won a 
trip to
Exhausted Land. 
All costs are paid for.

The wind is blowing,

      Enticing the leaves to dance,

           Then fall....exhausted.

Exhausted

I’m finally through,
I’m really exhausted now,
Life can take a toll,
On you when you don’t look,
Now let’s just lie down and sleep.

You Are,,,

Even when exhausted
And doubtful of your image
I still think you are...
From the early mornings to
Late night goodbyes, always are...

The Weeping Willow

The final vestige of autumnal reign
Releases its exhausted grip on life ~ 
A wistful willow quivers as its last leaf falls.

See the eagle fly
Prisoner of its nature
Freedom an illusion

Spring, old sparrows die
Fall exhausted down from sky
A nest too many

Rest

a quiet prayer
for you
sleeping
I see the baby kicking
your pale face exhausted
yet resting
your arm on your belly
not ready yet
rest

Reindeer lift-off to the sky; A one night, round trip, world flight; Exhausted elves bedding down; Jolly man’s night ride.

Hope

Hear the bells ring!
Early though.
My soul still asleep;
drowsed and exhausted.
Pardon and allow me 
another dawn.
Perhaps my love returns at dusk.

Frustration

without true reason
                                     sometimes life becomes a joke
                                           perhaps it's exhausted

Premium Member Comes the midnight hour

I wander and wander about.
I'm too tired to go to bed.
Distracted at every possible opportunity.

It's been a rough night
Troublesome racoons ~ I didn't get a wink...
Black coffee, you're my salvation

Starting the week exhausted,
doesn't bode well for having
a productive week.
However, I find myself
energized today and plan
to finish this week strong!

Premium Member Carousel

Is there no way left to go but round?
the scenery uncomfortably familiar
dizzying remorse
exhausted excuses
hoarse from screaming,
I LOVE YOU!

Premium Member Inspiring Invocations

What begins 
with in
and out?

Then best ends brightest
with a cooperative
exhausted shout?

An orgasmic climax?
Or a groaning prayer
for co-infested peace?

Monday

Most people hate this day.
Moving into new weeks
Makes you feel exhausted.
My Monday mornings are 
Madness.  I really need
Motivation in the
Morning on a Monday!

Stolen Moments of Grace

exhausted
she lay on the bed
arms over her head
shut her eyes to the gathering dusk
wishing for softness in sound
and touch
she drifted away
stolen moments of grace

Premium Member Lucky Victim

She was depleted, drained, exhausted
But determined to live no matter what
Three days later her killer led police to her body
Except she was merely paralyzed, still alive

Premium Member Overall, I Appreciate Him

Visualizing memories of all the moments we shared,
Even those in which I was most angry, sad, exhausted, and scared.
Sadly, I am only now grasping how much you truly cared.
