He jumps into his pants
gulps down an espresso
Fairly flies out the door
caught up in the flow
Sprints to the corner
squeezes onto the bus
His name is not ‘Superman’
~ He’s just one of us

in the marathon of life
milestones
sprints
coastings
downhills
uphills
the last miles
the most precious
captain of our vessel
guiding it to the finish line
steering
with pride
and determination
going the distance
heading in the right direction

The clock sprints one way
as we walk the other
the hands intersecting
with our hearts
reminding us
that there was a beginning
and there will be an end,,
A grand expansion
a fantastic contraction
just beyond the black veil
there are no clocks
just the delicate flavor of
forever,

Sizzling Summer
summer sun sizzles
sans sunshade shelter
sunburn scalds
she sprints scorched sand to shore
swizzles in soothing sea

Birds sing
Time wings
Buzz words
Now heard
Just start
Fond art
Be brave
Touch saves
New morn
Now dawns
Glimpse grace
Spur race
Wit puns
Seize fun
Laugh loud
Purge proud
Dream dance
Fond chance
Prompt play
Sprints stay
Do well
Love tells

In endless steps, I chased the line,
This path I tread, my halt in time.
Each stride I take, a half to go,
A journey bound by fractions solved.
Infinity in finite bounds,
Where motion stalls and thought grew large.
Achilles sprints, the tortoise leads,
My race defined by endless time.
Forever near, forever far,
Where reason left me, here I fall.

david looks at the guy
big
very big
Intelligent
not dumb at all
fast for his size
athletic
the young man picks up a pebble
looks ruefully at his crappy sling
The crowds going wild
jeering
catcalling
david grins
he has good teeth
he's a looker
goliath rubs his forehead
he feels a headache coming on
fortunately
david sprints away
to pray

Time is
against
us all.
It has...
two feet, not one, but two, and it sprints...
out of reach when we remain idle.

Tyburn
Mellow and magnificent,
he grazes in the dawn.
His power is unquestioned here,
Guardian of doe and fawn.
Serenity is parted, broken,
peace is split asunder.
Seeking flesh, those famished come,
with hearts of granite, gaits of thunder.
He sprints with vigor, youth, and fear,
he dashes through dark and day,
but keen and starving, they yet are swift,
exhaust consumes, thus he falls prey.
So many kill and die this way.

Should I tell a pink tale
I wish these were pink printS
Though it were a tale stale
They run more than sprints.
To gain the eye of classic
Eves who wore the kill
To keep a class pink basic
Eves with a beauty spell.
It were but a style bully
Adams who breathed after
Came with results surly
Their ruin beginning chapter.
Yet, they forgot beauty fades
Pink the colour remains
Blemished they, a pure hue
For they had not its true clue.

That ever elusive continuum
Which one thinks shall be, is suddenly now, and then has been already
Consistent, precise, and measurable
Beware the charlatan
Who sprints and creeps with equal ease
Lunged after but never held
You escaped once more
And then dispersed like the morning mist
Insensitive, indifferent and undeterred
Unconcerned about pain or pleasure
Rude and fickle and frugal
Friend or foe
Is it worth asking
What are you to me?

Speed
Fits need
Where joy feeds
Noise
Blinds poise
In poor choice
Zest
Sprints jest
To know fest
Whole
Pure soul
Pole to pole
Rhymes
String chimes
In space-time
Ask
To bask
In your tasks
Plan
You can
Word your span
Craft
Joy drafts
To fit raft
End
Greets trend
Round the bend
Taste
Less waste
In wild haste
Bring
Each fling
That now springs

One sunny morning sweet small Sue sees sitting up,
in a sapling a songbird is seated on silky flower cup.
It’s a scarlet vested slim and shy swirling Robin,
she sighs sad, “so long your show I haven’t seen”.
“Skipping winter snow I soar, my swift wings I spin”,
small Robin sings, “for you scenic spring sends me in”.
At sunrise the Robin sprints on the spray of sun ray,
Sue strides on surge of joy, so it shines her smiling day.

Alliteration
A walk through the forest
a breath of fresh air
a cardigan feel
shades of soft teal
Soft crispy leaves with audio crunch
mingled in tariqua paths;
The humusk and scent of a leaf in the wind
the musky sweet hint, a permeate fresh ;
Here lives the deer
and the rabbit that sprints
as I walk through the forest
in search of myself,
the tinniest leaf falls asleep, at my feet.

Think about the exertion
The schedule insatiable
The orgasmic rounds
He has to make
Greasy, idle hands
Come calling
Sleazy wild glands
And their sweet appallings
Every night
Every day
The sordid sprints and marathons
In every indulgent way
How many ****
Can one guy fondle
How many cocks
Can inspire a rondle
The King of Sleaze
Has begun to wheeze
So grant him respite
Before those horns of plenty
Fail to connect or sustain
His wicked signal of sin.
