Furious furnace
disperses zinc eclipse with
angry thrusts of gold....

                expended and exhausted
                electorate, eager egos
                envision, entreat

See what beauty life expended
Given to my blessed tree
In my glory colored ended
Lashed the wind has taken me
From my place among my brothers
Flying free until we meet
Tumbled aimless all descending 
Prone in honor at your feet...

Sex is weird, thinking about the energy expended
We slam into a woman repeatedly with a rock hard appendage
Says coz we loves her
Other motives are stirred
Like a primitive explosion that's otherwise unintended?

Hmmm......

Love unrequited, so much time wasted
Woman so splendid, what you always wanted
Heart that got busted, wouldn’t get mended
Too much expended, it ended before it started
Feeling so taunted, your mind is haunted
By the memories of your love unrequited


For ATP, my love unrequited
JEB...

There is a light that is shining
Offering all I want, need
A light I thought expended 

It obliterates all of the darkness
This shroud that has encased me
Both spirit and soul

A glow born in a dream
That stayed when the sun rose
And warms me with it’s strength

As I shed this old mantle
And step into your illumination
Tranquility and love surround me...

My remaining days, 
Merely a shadow of those expended.

It’s as if I’ve floated through time,
Aping smoke, born of a match head,

Drifting Indiscriminately,
Chasing dreams, oft dwarfed by reality, 

Evaporating days,
Auto-bused me to the stop at which I stand;

I realize now, that life was truly a vapor,
And beyond life, a timeless existence 
With God.

Indian Blankets
Written: by Tom Wright
5/15/2018

In the quiet ebon of morning,
Thoughts arrive as droplets from the sky.
I’ve expended too much of my seventy-nine years,
Waiting on a bus called someday;

Now that the bus has arrived I discover,
I don’t have the price of a ticket,
Indian Blankets don’t populate my meadow,
And my time for planting has passed.

A saddening song swishes subtly in the bitter breeze, 

Mad mournful music meets me everywhere I move, 

Like a dolorous dirge drumming through the dark; 

Wistful winds wearily bring to mind stinging salt drops,  

All energy expended in trying to make sense of this forlorn fusion

As a painfully pensive psalm is penned down 
						in the ragged remnants of war...

Children rise with sleepy eyes

While the moon and stars are yawning

Sunrise sounds with leaps and bounds

As another new day dawning

Watch them play all through the day

Till their energy expended

Mother's there with love and care

And her open arms extended

With dinner bells and bedtime tales

And no vigor left to borrow

The day is done neath setting sun

Children soon dream of tomorrow...

Desperate, I ponder on your death,
scant breath expended twixt the two of us,
and loneliness an ache too harsh to mention.
With pen in hand and no one to subscribe,
I'll never know the softness of your skin,
or search your heart to find what lies within.
Should I be bold, or take a gentler path?
Encourage you... would I incur your wrath?
If you should die I'd never know your truth,
and I would lose the vigour of my youth....

Reveal

Revealing hidden treasure
Opening to view
Bringing unknown pleasure
Embracing something new

Romance long defended
Thwarting every chance
All the times expended
Movements through the dance

Advancing every dream
Repairing moments past
Inviting as they seem
Erased by Love at last

Kindling the flame
Rapture hard to take
Accepting all the blame
Takes away mistake

Souls embracing last entwine
Ascending to a Love divine

Life & Time
Written: by Miracle Man
2/1/2019

God bequeath us time for His pleasure,
So time is something we should treasure.

For once we've expended it shant return,
So for His work we need to show concern.

On fun filled days time seems to fly,
And once time has passed we can't retry.

On days of drudgery it seems to creep,
But nothing changes because we weep.

We oft look hinder at some time spent,
And for our shortcomings must repent.

Mind Over Matter
Written: by Miracle Man
2- 18-2020

There always comes a point in each persons life,
when expended days exceed those remaining.
I recall youthful days when I had no strife,
and there existed no need for my feigning. 

It's said, tough times don't last, but tough people do,
toughness is attitude, much more than a word.
Though now I'm older and some things must eschew,
a few people think I'm still a "tough old bird". 

God has blessed!!
Tom
