The mathematician 
He never listens
Plans to fly beyond black hole
He is flying blind
He is out of time
Of his fate no one will know


Tea Out of Time

some where
in the world
at this the
time of my
summer
it is winter

so let me 
make my
favorite fix
of her sweet
chocolate
with my cream

When we’re lucky enough to find those we love in life
those who’ve helped us on our climb…
we never run out of love for them…
we only run out of time.

The Clothes

The model loses her clothes
While walking the runway she chose
Her clothes got caught on a line
She then ran out of time
Naked her body was red as a rose

Comet

I watch stars crash, more certain now
Than ever before that we've left the past
Far behind, down, and slowly come
To terms that we're running out of time.


Summer - Sigh

As the days come to a close
I can only sigh
never seeing you as the days went by
I thought you'd make the call
but I had to do it all
and I ran out of time

Premium Member Limericks Too Chimeric

Today nobody likes my limericks 
I guess that maybe they're too chimeric
   Or perhaps it's the rhyme
   That's a step out of time
That makes my limericks ridic-eric

Premium Member THANKFUL FOR VINCE LOMBARDY

Today I’m thankful for Vince Lombardi
whose wisdom about the game of life I shall now attempt to rhyme…
He famously said:
We never lost a game…
We just ran out of time.

English Quintains

I can just barely count to five,
Let alone try and track my rhyme.
I hope my last line can revive,
Some humor before I’m out of time.
But I feel like Quintains are a crime.

A Four Line Rhyme

I slid down a hill that was covered in slime
I almost kept going, but I stopped on a dime
To get back to the top is a hell of a climb
I would do it all over, but I'm all out of time

Premium Member Triggered

Something oh so simple
Shows me how I’m rooted
In this life’s time and place
But with roots really out of time
I’m triggered by connections
To recall my original face

Manic

I am running out of time.
I have one shot to make
But it is too far away
and I have few words to use.
@ what time
am I right?
@ what time
am I dumb?
@ what time 
do you reap me?

Camera

Click flash magic
An image out of time
Funny happy tragic
All the images sublime 

Tool gadget toy
The moment forever to capture
Recall remember enjoy
Memories keep you in rapture

Badly Scarred and Barred

Better than being a Trump retard 
Who from my list has been barred
Body and face are too badly scared.

Ran out of time. Will finish later.

Out of Time

Running, meeting the edge of the world,
Time crumbling beneath my soles.

Run Out

We have run out of time 
to spend together 
we have run out of words
to tell one another 
we have run out of patiance 
to deal with each other 
We have run out of love
for one another

Shama's Dilemma Limerick

There once was a girl named Shama
Who wondered about her karma
As a poet her rhymes
Were always out of time
To most her terza rima was trauma

Premium Member Out of Time

Oh you tell of a forlorn maiden
so much out of step out of time
one so close to this my heart
alas simple of mind
yet she is my kind
she’s my mother
age exposed
withered
lost

Breath

the cold empty hands
the damn speak
unintelligble
the cold empty hands
the damn speak
the crazed bat eyes and expect understanding
the damned speak
and nearness happened
just about out of time

Premium Member Once, Words Mattered

    As the candidate yammered on 
     His opponent stood his ground

        When the first ran out of time
        In a flash the second chimed ~

    “I’d always thought a man’s word was his bond”

Premium Member The Wanderer

Endlessly the nomad wanders

Blindly to the life he squanders

Far searching for some hidden truth

So desperate clings by nail and tooth

Fatigued the many peaks to climb

Now near the edge but out of time
