We often forget that
Wonder never really ends
People have just pushed love to expired tears
That don’t care about desire

in a treatise for all to see
Kandinsky was one thus inspired
abstracted thereby 'til he expired

How To End a Bad Date

Take one chicken breast
Cooked for 5 minutes too long,
an expired boxed wine
And she’ll be out of there quick
Perfect end to a bad date

On Friday, the boss said, "You're fired!"
And I suddenly felt inspired
God said in one breath:
Thou art close to death
For thy warranty just expired!"

Too Tired

Rheumy eyes
spoke
heavy thoughts
of 
sorrows multiplied

darkened heart
curtains drawn
hope expired inside

heavy grief
buckled knees
soul forgotten
silently
died

Premium Member Every Time When Love Expired

I was always once what they all of a sudden had once desired
But even I had always failed to make them feel inspired.
I always learned how and just when to let go when love expired.

Poetic License

A poet in search of his muse
Tried to find her by choosing to booze;
Far from what he desired
The poor fellow expired--
So be careful which boozing you choose!

Premium Member Unfinished Tasks


He is retired;
His duties with care he carried!
He appears wired
Remembering unfinished tasks – 
Two daughters at home unmarried … 
As his benefits are tarried,
He’s found expired!

Trump Should Be Fired

Trump Should Be Fired

Trump was hired who we never desired; 
Our patience with him has expired; 
Only few backs; 
Most he detracts, 
So should be impeached and then fired.

Leg Weary and Tired

Leg weary and tired
Feeling nearly expired
I shuffle on and on
Just wanting the miles to be gone

Home in the distance now
The hurt will disappear no wondering how

Fractured America

Nothing but a fractured skeleton 
Remains of what we once called freedom 
That eagle is too dead to fly any higher
We tried to make good of this jester's plan
Now that concept has gone expired

Become Sick and Tired

Become Sick and Tired

Of some things we became sick and tired;
Even on the job which we had been hired
Did continue on,
Until I was gone;
Went away after job length of term expired.

An aging streetwalker, she
   A hell-and-damnation preacher, he
      Met at death's door, unexpectedly

His life she saved, as hers expired

Obtaining Or Obstaining From Training

Obtaining or Obstaining From Training

Right kind should always be obtaining,
Of training not requiring any straining;
Reading required;
Never expired;
Or from must  always be abstaining.

Here lies Clyde now expired;
Another man's wife he desired;
The man pierced Clyde's ticker with a knife,
Thereby, making a widow of Clyde's wife!

Tears On the Wind

Tears on the wind
Crying in rain
Memories hurt
Sadness again

Smiling in sun
Laughter reborn
Healing from hurt
No time to mourn

Old love expired
New love required

Polaroid Expired

Your memory is
like an expired polaroid 
film - I still keep it 

as though it would be
the most precious treasure of
mine, yet I am

aware of the truth:
till I walk this earth I will
never take a look at it.

Death's Release

life's journey over
wisdom of maturity
misleading visage 

life's vessel aging
bodily functions failing
dignity stolen

life's journey annulled
reasons for living expired
death's release wanted
