who took me out daily to dine
he fed me cold beans

I gas him for wasting my time!

The flow of tears
Wishing for more
Wanting no less
Than to feel each day
A sense of purpose.

Midnight

Wasting time on this waiting game
Tomorrow and the next, something remains the same


that you and I are fiction
and you and she are fact

Metaphorically Speaking

I missed the rain
but the metaphorical hit
between the eyes
left me reeling
as I read the water smudged
calling card
of the wasting disease.

As if I will have them again tomorrow. Sure...

There is so much I could worry about.
Wasting precious minutes of my day
Worrying, worrying, worrying, worrying, worrying.
I choose to not do it.

Turning Hate Into Love

Hate consumes,
worms through our brains,
wasting time
best spent elsewhere;
Energy
should be deployed
on peaceful
things bringing
love to all.

She's sporting her new hairdo.
Jar of quarters and loads of laundry.
Wasting hours at the laundromat

Wasting of lives for things that should be peace
A fight to survive
Reluctance of soldiers who die, leaving their children and wives or husbands alone

with holiday email junk; 
Life ticking as I sit deleting.

School

So many years
standing in lines
wasting my brain
wasting my time 
jailed in rooms
away from outside
away from the sun
away from my life...

The wife says I oughter
Stop wasting our water;
So now she’s washing HER hands – of me!

I used to think, I've plenty of  time,
To sit and think of things to rhyme.
But each day I age,
Life turns that page
And the time I'm wasting is a crime.

Hot apple cobbler, crumbly sweet cinnamon atop,
Vanilla ice cream melting; not wasting a drop!

The Proclamation of Fidelity

Wasting huge amounts of energy
not for the proclamation of fidelity
is to discard the vowes made on that altar...
when the sincere and amorous didn't look far.

Now

Wishing on the cars racing by,
I would wish they could all leave Earth and fly.
Now I use backroads, wasting my time 
Pondering this innocence that turned to a crime.

Whats Left

You can have what's left 
Bruised pride 
Hollow chest
No wasting moments
Only passing time
Wasted words
Left behind
Stories to tell
Is love a trick
Or just a spell
