God's Mistake

If we are old
Our time is cast
So younger lives
Should us outlast

But sometimes God
Gets it wrong
Instead of old
He takes the young

Epigram #355:
JOLLY

See what you see and let things be;
Outlast harsh sea with heart jolly.

I Failed

Trudging down the same path
Present equals past
Red clay
My problems outlast
The runes have been cast
Astray
A delayed forecast
Emotion outcast
I failed

Time

Time flies to fast
It can’t seem to last
Memories have passed
And will always outlast
They continue to cast
From future to past

History

History

Herodotus gave us
humanity’s story
horrific tale of earth’s
heritage of glory
happenings that outlast
honor for the heroes
his story from the past

Ever a Secret

a gnarled olive tree
  surveyed the scene --
tender saplings soaring skyward
  regal oaks basking in glory
majestic cedars 'midst the clouds
  --under her breath
                 ~ I’ll outlast you all

The Sea of Society

Not having much
A helpful hand
Keeps the poor 
On dry land

Having it all
To the rich it's free
Given boats
To sail the sea

Left to drowned
The middle class
Creating the survivors
That will outlast

Past

PAST
In the name of the future, we go back to the past
Are you spending anything to broadcast
Love is about the forecast
Let's talk about tomorrow to outlast

Loyalty Gone

Once was a young fellow in Ghent His dog followed where’er he went As the years swiftly passed, His dog he would outlast Now he’s a sad, lonesome old gent.

Bubbles

Bubbles are in essence happiness
because happiness is light and cheery
when you're happy, you float and are lighter than air
and though happiness is easily popped
it is always in abundance
so may your happiness outlast these bubbles

Outlast Forever

It's all or nothing, now or never
Take a gamble, there's no one I'd rather roll with on life's endeavor
Stakes are high, let's go all in and pull the lever
Life is short unlike loves eternal flame, maybe together we can outlast forever

Defeate On Qutation

playing for keeps,enemy of my life long entity calling me , and me calling it infamy.
 needed not to outlast the limits pushing me and me pushing it limitlessly.
 freedom hanging limiting the throat full modern day lovely calling it golden

Sickness

I'm stuck in bed, 
my body wracked with pain,
My good health a distant memory. 
I see now how much I took it for granted, 
my joints so weak, 
my fever soaring like the desert's sun.
I crave a sweet dessert, 
but my tongue is numb,
This sickness a curse that I long to outlast.

Oprah Winfrey

Opening minds to change

Perishing painful remains

Resolving love and hate

Acceptance permeates

Helping pain abate

Winning hard fought wars

In opening new doors

Never shown before

Facing what is past

Reaching to outlast

Everything untrue

You did it OPRAH – You

Involuntary Scream

He bounces from one extreme
  to the other
Wrapped up in himself
  can't relate to another

He seeks a middle ground
  yet speeds right past it
Demons rule his mind
  will he ever outlast it

Involuntary screams
  moderation's a dream
He's no one to tell 
  of his descent into hell

Robin Holds Her Ground

the sun tried to outlast the bird
beat down on his feathers 
in a circular motion

bird was a robin, used to turmoil
she held her ground, ignoring the heat
come on! Sun said. Give!

a confident mother, she stayed on the sign
defying the sun to give her more
sun bowed in deference to her station

Immortals

immortals

words free themselves
float through lip 
across vast spaces.
they outlast the speaker
live far beyond the author
travel into galaxies 
and nest behind stars.

up on the backs of words
ideas, dreams, ride
these immortal creatures
once released,
drift forever sewing seeds
to return and begin again.

The Labyrinth

Swallowing 
My timidity 
With a long 
Shot of puff 

Amidst a sea of Jasmines
Sitting on wooden vases 

Rippling
The smile 
I hardly wear 
With warm 

Swaying lips-- so tender
Yet, as I dragged myself 

To outlast 
The whims 
Of doubts--
Inside me

My mate came, with question 
Marked on her face, in protest

Cruel

A good memory
Is not always good,
Storms kill harmony
As bad blood bleeds mood.


A good tender heart
Knows such awful pain,
Sharp cuts craft odd art
As oozing tears stain.


A good man bears much
As joy leaches fast,
See bad deals burn touch
As cruel blows outlast.

Half Mast

What do we hold on to, if hope decides to abandon us this fast?
Where is the faith, If within 24 hours it couldn't last?
How do we function, with our fragile hearts, aghast ?
Weren't these vibrant souls supposed to outlast? 

The mind yearns for answers, from a million questions cast
The Nation mourns, with flags at half mast.

Synthetic

Micro-Nano Particles
Superior To Native Sand
In Resolve And Integrity

Settle In Every Vacant Cavity
Gorge In Every Innocent Orifice
Buttery Fill Every Nookity Cranny...

Until All The Natural Organics
Have Eaten Their Own
Down To This Giant Nub...

Fossil Reality
Modeled Strong-
To Outlast Desire.

A Haloed Promise Around Your Wrist

Slip a promise, grasp my hand,
Seal our hearts with this blue band,
As I'll be yours and you forever mine,
Two hearts a lifetime match becomes the greater sign,
Wrapped up in you and time moves fast,
Trace the days in white, to know love will outlast,
Throughout the night within loose dreams,
Sinking deeper we're linked through seams...

Rondel-Literature

Literature

is the creation of words:

funny, sad, dramatic, tragic or satirical...

so adored by writers,

to appease their exploding passion through

literature!


Literature

is verse or prose...

seen by different eyes;

its works outlast us:

excellence is the essence in

literature!

Untitled #229 / Friendship

“Friendship is a promise made in the heart
silent and unwritten
it is unbreakable by distance
and unchangeable by time”
Fools! Time changes all!
Even the etched-in words
on this granite slab,
or this very page
which shall outlast all friendships,
will be rendered illegible one day,
all words, all readers
weathered away by the dust of time!
