Premium Member The Task At Hand

I'm wasting words and wasting time

Trying to explain this heart of mine

No easy task to understand

So take my word and take my hand

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

Premium Member Regretting the Past Vi

By wasting time lamenting of past failures 

We deprive ourselves of future successes!

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.

Lost Moments

Wasting time,
life’s greatest pleasure

Wasting time,
life’s greatest pain

Wasting time,
beyond all measure

Wasting time

Wasting Time With Temptation

A power struggle with my flesh
fighting with my impatience
playing tug a war with my addictions
arm wrestling with my anger
shadow boxing with my fears
temptation is such a waste of time

Premium Member Sudden Sin

The silky satin of sudden sin
defeats the desire to stay prim,
and burns beneath the bowers
with unrequited urgent powers,
waiting, wilting wasting time 
teasing and trying to make it rhyme!

Lethal Blade

My mind is trapped within this maze,
forced to ponder bygone days,
wasting time on what is lost,
reliving paths long since crossed,
deep remorse for choices made,
guilt becomes a lethal blade.

No Need To Be Bitter

There's no need to be bitter, or, you're just wasting time, if you think you can do better what others do, just do it your own. If you can't, find your own talent and be good in it.

Hardwork

Hard-Work

It's pay day
Hard-work pays

A fool plays
wasting time

A wise prays
Working without crime

Time is money
Don't take it funny

It's about hard work
sweating on the neck.

Inspiration

Wasting time being silent. 

Wasting time being chaotic. 

Until I am so tired that I feel uninspired again. 

And guilty. 

As many ideas that I have. 

There are just as many smiles that will never be shared.

Creative Procrastination

Surplus Kirby’s dance
Computer screens digest your time
And spit out Kirby’s.

This girl next to me
Likes writing concrete poems
(I am wasting time).

Reds turn slowly blue
Leaves disintegrate to snow
Fall turns to winter.

Time

Tick tock tick tock 
All I hear’s that bloody clock
Chiding me for wasting time
Is it really such a crime
To put your feet up when you’re done
Rest, relax and have some fun
It winds me up that awful sound
So now, I leave the clock unwound

Premium Member In Flux

While
 in flux 
not dancing
and wasting time
you missed the best part;
I was waiting right here,
you just could never see me;
Today I'm glued to this sofa;
Nothing's better but you had a choice;
Now we don't, frank arose as I got still.

3 Months Rent Pif

My feelings 
Are torn
Between forlorn
-Happiness interjectings

Wasting time
Wanting different 
Outcome abhorrent 
Big crime

Dream shattered
Love squash
Memories awash
Fear projected

Wanting peace
Mind battle
Body tattle
Long lease

Whippersnapper

It's a seventeenth-century term for a young man lazily wasting time nothing better to do than to hang; used by an older person who's talking about a young person who behaves boldly despite being inexperienced man. ~X~X~X~

A Goodbye Molded by Hate

If there was a poem for every I love you of yours
That weighed more than I'll see you later
Poetry wouldn't exist
And that's why I cry, not your absence
So, by the time I drudge up the energy for goodbye
I digress, I'm done wasting time
p.s. I'll never let poetry die...

Losing Love

Moments are spent questioning "us" far too much
Were wasting time being without each other's touch
Sweet I love you's, kisses and comforting hugs
Are replaced by your silence and shoulder shrugs
The quiet only fuels all the words we both hate
It hurts me to ask, "Am I losing my soul mate?"

Wasting Time

Tires grind,
Long car rides,
Never seize memories.
Wheels turning,
Forever thinking,
The next step.
Prepping myself,
For outcomes,
In the past.
Lasting through the present,
Giving future mistakes,
Taking fates turn.
Writing histories pretense,
While running out,
Of Time,
To exist.

Wasting Time

I meet people who carry their anger and disappointment as a badge
Mad about everything
Don't want to lose
Only care about winning
They are dying
They lose friends 
They lose their children
They lose their family
Pride rules
The five letter world that leads you
To winning in your mind
Empty and alone on special days

Moonbeams

I fall on my moonbeam dreams
a fickle feeling told me so
ambling on this misty morning
sheep hallow the gilded ground
imaging its june
when its september

Sombreness handling this turnaround
a quest for a compromise
tasselling this handle

Black dreams surround me
wasting time imaging
iof the chosen time
