Expiring Experienced Excited Emus

expiring experienced excited and enticed enthusiastic emus
extracted exact experimental explosives from exfoliated flues
exasperating exam-free extraterrestrial expedition views
extraordinary x-rayed exclamations exuding as clues.

Green Gnome

Green
Gnome
Treasure
Under tree
Hiding a secret
Unfolding a revelation 
Greed chained magical creature refusing to exit
Expiring embracing a wood chest that contains jewelries and coins robbed to farmers

Lonely Rage

an expiring star shines brilliantly in a last hurrah before collapsing into void a piercing scream expels glorified zombies out of an imperious tomb a flaming tsunami of raging rot roars over the earth with absolute malice

The Wave


Way out,
a wave starts its run
on a lifting swell then
builds to a peak 
until it crests 
holding cobra like
high in air, falls 
to gravity, folds over 
in a thunder of bubbles 
to become a wash 
running up a beach, 
expiring in a lick
of froth to tickle
little feet.

Entropy N Ecstasy

Let us live like 
          it is the last day 
                           of creation!
...as we know
             that it will be! 

One day closer to nothing 
            as all are expiring...
                              in entropy and ecstasy 
          the coming 
               of extinction!

Material Man

We are shadows
living the dark
of our own 
obstructions

imitators of light
worshiping furnaces
cores of stars

hydrogen eaters

helium floaters

casting nets
into a sea of glitter

our daily catch
of expiring illumination

traveling ever further out

away from man's indwelling 
brilliance 

that of a Sacred Heart

To Stay Or Go

stay
                     restful, dormant
             vacating, granting, expiring
employees, mourners, whirlwinds, vacationers
        traipsing, spelunking, vagabonding
                       truant, absent
                               go

Crap Format

Long wanders across hills
Expiring - Three of my steps were one of my Dad's 
Halting will

Refuelling near
Banks brandished fennell freely had 
Revered

Herb young
Stung by green glad 
Tongue

Washed down with water swills
Sweaty bunch became invalid
Flung

Dead In Denver

Expiring yesterday
I'm dead and running late
laid over in Denver
heaven will have to wait

I packed for eternity 
now through a cloud I'm notified
all my baggage has been lost
so much for the golden chariot ride

looks like somethings never change
in death just as in life
I'm laid over in Denver
waiting for the next heavenly flight

'are We Different, How'

Many live in this world, from those little ants to that big elephant
All are just living; including men, who seem to be same, but could be different
Humans can think, discuss and change, our home; this expiring earth
Through which we can build a better place for each and every birth

Survivable

Futuristic climes
Beckoning to surpass
Spurring inventive minds
Since moon crater’s crevasse
Once known world denigrates
Human kind expiring
Lost to predicted fates
Stupendous vanquishing 
fires onward challenges
Achievable data
Opens advantages
Kaleidoscope strata
Gravitational pull
Precludes events to plumb
Vessel christened ‘Virgin Wool’
Mankind decides outcome

Opportunity Expiring

Pardon me, I am aspiring
to some day be retiring,
but first I must be acquiring
a position. Though I’m not keen on perspiring
I admit I have been admiring
your benefits and employees’ attiring,
and since a salary I’m requiring,
and I trust you aren’t frequently firing,
and I promise not to be with unions conspiring,
I thought I’d simply go about inquiring
if perhaps you were hiring?

To Avenge Is Beautiful

Not for bliss and giggling but rather for wails and tears. It's ideal to avenge the wrongs! Release all fears. There is a period for war and harmony. It's time to unwind. It's suitable for reflecting. Then, flip it all around. The moment has come to acquire insight. It's time to be wild. Let's travel exploring and sight what we can dredge! Yet, time is expiring. Today is the day. Specify what we'll do before we fly.

My Own Prison

Angry at the world or maybe with myself
No one sees the hurt in me my expiring mental health
The demons that surround me 
What my life has come to be
Lock me up and throw the key
This empty hole inside my heart
The pain I feel will never part
I only hope I do not start
For now I fight my eternal war
Sitting wondering what's at my core
Why was I so naïve to think
That my life couldn't change in a blink
So now I sit in my disgrace
Never to feel his sweet embrace

Shapeless Time

SHAPELESS TIME

Segments of evolving reality
Aging has altered my time
Savor shapeless pieces
Squander nothing behind

History of expiring world
Shock waves rattle your spine
Future of temporal uncertainty
Cyclone sweeping your mind

Distractions rob the senses
Electronics hasten the pace 
Capture timeless memories
Prisoners of embrace

Rights of passage of eras
Sand slipping through rhymes 
Flow of waning motion
Winter of shapeless times
