Grief

Grief
a state with no expiration 
it will come, stay until it goes
how long, we don't know 
Grief has no sell by date

Cease

Nothing lasts  forever
Good and evil conclude
Pain and joy resolve
And life has expiration

All things end

Lost

My heart cannot be silent,
My heart calls your name
In the gloom of endless nights and
Days of longing.

Earth

Earth
Endlessly revolving
Exquisite in its form
Exists despite abuse
Enjoy a view from space
Entices adventure
Encourages travel

THANKFUL FOR MY ABILITY TO DREAM

Today I’m thankful for my ability to dream…
knowing if a dream didn’t work out today…
all I have to do is wait…
because 
although a dream may have its disappointments…
it has no expiration date.

First she says,

you 
are not 
alone

know that 
you

Then she says,

i have a lot 
of sincere love 
for you without 
an expiration 
date

Truth

Kept emotions, those that linger far beyond there expiration date. Screaming to be released, yearning to touch the lips of freedom.. Can only be acquired by the acceptance of truth.... He was never meant for you.

Exhale

Expiration Date

Do we all feel the same,
Is life just a waiting game
Why? do some, live so long,
Is it because they are strong,
Or have they more to learn,
And have not yet earned,
The peace that we all desire,
When we expire.

Requiem of Natures Realm

A
Tree
Standing
In the breeze
Swaying to and fro
Waving to the watchers below
Help me if you can my time has been short please I beg.
Though my expiration is not death, just rebirth into natures realm everlasting.

Warranty

Do you have your eternal warranty?
Did you remember to purchase extended maintenance?
Did you see the hidden costs?
Did you know where to search?
Will you expire before your warranty is secured?
Spirited life has no expiration date.

Last Stages of Love

You're in the last stages
of lost wages,
of empty pages,
of spent rages,

You're in the termination 
of inspiration
of imitation,
of expiration,

You're in the culmination
of emulation,
of exploitation,
of domination

of me.

Mr Cat Has Fallen For a Pumpkin Vine

Mr Cat has fallen completely in love with a pumpkin vine.
He is cozy and happy for his relationship is furiously fine.
We tell stories about his story. I am glad it’s not mine.
I know that there is an expiration date on each pumpkin vine.

Heartbreak On the Horizon

How I'd like to make it last
Instead of a memory of the past
I cannot disavow
That im happy in the now
The flesh begins to manipulate 
Sadly knowing of an expiration date
The more I'm here the more I wizen
With you heartbreak is on the horizon

It Is Necessary To Accept the Transformations

Our demand  is to accept the novelty,
         we must recognize
         All things in this world
         has expiration date...
         We must disuse matter
         already worn..
         let's live with this guideline,
         this wisdom...

Fatigue

The day passes by slowly
when the dream of love caught on fire
drowning in liquor intoxicated to forget
ever so lonely in this old age 
to hold on to the product of life
nearing its expiration date
to let go of or to hold on to?
fatigued to just keep on hoping

The Package

The Package

This is a tiny prayer.
Do not let the size of it, 
Belittle its importance. 
The miracle is often in the details.
It has been prayed on your behalf.
There is no expiration.  
You don't have to do...anything. 
It is a gift. 
In Jesus name, 
Amen.

Acceptance

Open eyes that refuse the truth
Seeing is no longer believing 
Denial has the body in reverse 
Throwing the personalized vehicle in disarray 
The clutch is flooded and the block is cracked 
Truth is the only fuel that will initiate the engine 
Neutral has no expiration date

Jonah and the Whale

Jonah found himself in a most dreadful fix

   He nearly had an encounter with the River Styx

      He was freed by the whale's timely regurgitation

         Thus easing its bellyache and Jonah's expiration!

The breath came in
and then was gone
Just as the beautious visions resonated
with my dna then resolved
Each inspiration 
paired with expiration
wonderfully frames
the joy of living
the joy of loving
the day will come 
to honor this beautiful life 
with one beautiful death

Expire

Dammed as dead as a dessert of the cruel world expert on expiration and determination of soul searching embracing a journey long lived dust and bones left the decaying of a box determining visiting hours flowers tears regrets expansions of dates 
Black is the theme for no living thing

Unfinished Business

So many things I'd like to say 
I'll save them for some other day 
You know the way I think towards you 
It hasn't changed, the bird's still blue 
And though not mentioned anymore 
The shelves are stocked inside my store
Provisions for the heart await
They have no expiration date

Sour Milk Gospel

A paper carton 
bloats in the fridge,
its manufactured nutrients 
stretched thin as a lie. 
I pour it down the drain.

The disposal gurgles 
back its curdled skin,
a sour hymn rising 
through the pipes,
fumes of expiration 
smelling like post-partum 
nightmares. 

Amen.
