Quote by Geoffrey Chaucer "Time and tide wait for no man,"
                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Time, a poltergeist whisper 
slipping through the cracks
Moments shimmer
akin to Petunia petals aloft, 
a hypnotic dance —
ephemeral yet priceless.
Time waits for no one; 
haven't you felt its rush?
Time waits for no one —
It simply drifts away.
 
With each tick, clocks transform
into the fabric of history—
you seize fleeting seconds
as if they could stretch forever.

Wilted Orchids echo
forgotten dreams, 
pulled by unseen forces 
upon a canvas of memories. 
Each speck of time, 
a mason's chipped work.
Harmonic motions dim
in the palms of eternity;
calming breezes frown 
upon autumn’s sunlit glow. 
No one halts time—it surges on!
It speeds faster than a blink.

Nostalgia weaves itself 
around crystal vessels, 
while moonflower garlands 
bloom amid hazy dreams. 
Tattletale smiles escape
into hollow nights—
a foggy embrace
filled with haunting whispers and grins.  
Tulips muted bluish—gray
etch their tale in time’s shore.

Embrace winter’s trudge 
and find solace unvexed:
surf through waves of magic
knowing love beams bright.
Galumph through life 
daring despite harsh fates:
vagabond dreams vaudeville 
within flummoxed hearts;
a rainbow palette spreads
beneath a hammock sky. 
No matter what, it lies ahead.
After passing, it's futile to cling on.

Desolation puckers beneath 
the glistening dew decline, 
an abyss where bleeding 
wrists are fodder for worms.
A sycophantic squire crafts 
kismet kernels stripped—
flesh ripped by careless slips, 
losing grip on whispers;
breaths juggle surly skies, 
sharp as bleak thorns.
From cradle to grave, 
We've learned —
that time is wealth 
we must cherish. 

Darkness veils endless roads, 
plummeting in twilight throes.
tangled fears mimic 
Dionysus amphetamine highs—
brimstone offers esoteric solace 
that straddles the magnetic edge. 
Whispers eviscerate as they swirl, 
amber kisses across fallen stars. 
Crocuses bloom in purple 
while goldfinch trill 
yellow celandine riddles. 

Employ your edge before it fades.
Everyone longs for plenty of time.
You can't carry time with you
money cannot reclaim lost time.
