Short Expiring Poems

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
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

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

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!...

bright, warm
blooming, inviting, awakening
trees, flowers, grass, leaves
falling, sleeping, expiring
dark, crisp

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...

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

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

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...

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

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

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?

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....

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

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
