never had

And what you’ll never

sprinting to make up for wasted years lost
youth of wanton delusion
squandering idleness

Life
beautiful, amazing
praying, saving, believing
community, family, friends, nature
squandering, fighting, abusing
difficult, short
death

Ah! 'Life Stands And Delivers'
What about this!?
Rationalizing is in between stinginess and squandering
With respect to mediateness.
Bravery is in between cowering and recklessness
Tolerance is in between …
And so on....

ideas jumped onto her head and back
Slid down her neck like wood ticks off of oak trees
She discounted them all
Wasting an IQ of 145,
Squandering a brilliant mind
Full of ideas 
Due to the lack of confidence in herself....

Orange leaves were falling over her 
While sitting in the wooden bench
Waiting besides the mail box
For a promised letter 
That never arrived
To trembling hands
Squandering
Precious 
Time

flesh
flesh
flesh
flesh
piles of tons of flesh
and I have only 71 kg and something shakes me
pushes me to do things
without the hesitation
free to choose the words
and I realized
that is a big squandering
in all this flesh....

Her moose is loose and wandering,
her peace of mind he's squandering,
if he don't get back here
sometime later this year,
she'll just have to do her own laundering!

                  ********

...my friend Juvie and her missing muse!...

Philosophy loves looking
Pondering of none but the mystery
That--
Wholesome loving--
Be wholly bolstering

Growth is dying at greater lighting,
O' grandiose
Instrumental Melody:
As stars' gleaming squandering
Therein--restful bedazzling....

rich, 
                opulence, prosperous
    acquiring, amassing, accumulating 
affluence, luxury, insolvency, pauperism 
      squandering, depleting, repriving 
                    destitute, poverty
                               poor

Spendthrift...Skinflint

                              spendthrift
                       extravagant, wasteful
                  buying, shopping, squandering
               presents, parcels, deposits, interest, 
                    counting, banking, hoarding
                            tightfisted, miserly
                                    skinflint...

Tattered Grey -
  It bends against an unkind wind;
  An ugly thing so commonplace,
    Against a  leaky corner.
A thing so grand has never been
  So thin -
And yet it hangs;
Against the heavens weathered attempts
   To prove it wrong.
      It lasts so long -
Holds tightly, oh so tightly;
   Not squandering it’s mighty will -
 Duct tape on a windowsill....

Sinking into the soil of his egocentric ocean
Snarled and sniveled the cephalopod mollusk
Since to be worthy of his charming prey
Sensation beaming from his passion blasting
Suspending her from being aware of drowning
Stunning to sight her lapse into squandering
Sloshing in intense sadness and deceitfulness

If I could take a step away
In hopes of seeing
From the outside 
Of where I stand
Without the perception 
Of a mortal life
Or the blink of this existence

Soar into the heavens
View mother earth from a distance
See ourselves for who we are
Ethereal miracles
Squandering potential
Bloodthirsty savages
I'd lose faith in an instant.
I'd hope for her,
To wash our stain away.
2000 years later
Man's still not changed....

If I did not believe it to be true 
You have enjoyed observing 
Your actions have been prejudice to me 
Skeletons of our history 
Not once did you confess
That you missed me
Such a squandering instant
Your love for me 
Was only an illusion of my imagination 
And what thoughts of you 
Was truly misplaced and mistaken
A decade of...
Disintegrated, dismembered, and fragmentary assurance 
All the while you only seeked 
After my ruin........

He was chasing the white dragon
as he sat puffing on his hubby bubbly
soon he was afloat in a world of dreams
not a care in the world for his family
who would, again, go hungry this night

He sat squandering his and their lives
carried of into obliquity  by the heroin
his two daughters crying with hunger
still he puffed on, lost, lost to them all
consumed by the white fiery dragon

An addict to the power of the drugs
forever lost to their grasping clutch

everyone likes to think
everyone loves to think
that they don't need to

know

what's so important
as a venus fly trap 
snapping that i 
already don't 

know

that i even
asked but
i thought

it was slow
and painless
so i wrote it

not thinking
thoughts could
be caught

and my words
twisted and 
taken to

fahrenheit 
in different
degrees and can

be still 
thought
below freezing

without
the breath
of you saying

no 
but
worse

yes...

I shiver uncomfortably in this freezing tundra
Marveling at all the warm days I squandered
Totally wasted, not valuing them at all
For their warm sunshine and their pretty flowers
Days in June, July, August, and September.
If I had back just one of these days would I squander it?
Or would I appreciate her? Would I be wise enough 
To sit in the sun and bask in her hours?
Or would I waste her, taking her for granted,
Forgetting there are months of this freezing tundra?...

Be Ye Ready
Written: by Tom Wright

Some are squandering their days looking forward,
And for the present, they’re giving little thought.
Thoughts lingering on the ugliness of their past,
And the heartache that those actions have brought;

You can’t alter matters concealed in bygone days,
And God alone discerns each one’s days upcoming.
So it behooves us to live daily as were it to be our last,
Trouble not of tomorrow or whether it’s coming;
