Best Not Now Poems

The world is what we make it, so let’s make it grand and gold, and glorious.
The universe smiles upon those who send it love, so let’s do that.
My own sweet soul is whispering stuff, but do I listen?
Not now, I say. I am busy.
 
Too...

Garlands draped and strung. 
White creeper blossoms
 reminiscent of  snow
penta-hedron, vase shaped, 
 single bells.  Five sepal-ed,
 finial, fillistered,
 flower bowls. 
Such delicate geometry
 predestined from a seed 

Destiny, fate and duty
will always mock one another.
Power struggles between courage
and cowardice, rest in the...

You were here for me, but then you left.
Took my heart and it was theft.
You promised me that you would love me forever.
I wish I was clever enough to not go down that road, ever.
You were the only one I trusted.
But now I am disgusted.You...

Dad was lounging in his chair, the football game had just begun.
Beside him with his baseball, glove and bat, stood his little son.
"Daddy, will you come outside and play some catch with me?"
"Not now, son, I want to watch the game, please let me be!"

"Daddy,...

NOT NOW

NOT NOW, NOT AT THE MOMENT, AND UNFORTUNATELY NOT TODAY
THOSE ARE HARSH WORDS I MUST ADMIT BUT 
THE ONLY THING THAT IS WASTED IS TIME BUT MOSTLY BY USING IT UNFRUITFULLY AND UNFAITHFULLY SO
THE USE OF THESE WORDS SEEM HARSH, RUDE AND VERY UNPOLITE
AND...

I would, but not now
My teeth sinking slowly into my tongue so I don’t scream at the baby
Milk all over the table, papers, dripping down onto the chair
I could, but I won’t

Screaming into the pillow until needles prick at my throat
My nap interrupted feels like...

it in e_mail. i'll fine myself gripped by jeoulesy or a sudden almost furious urge to 
cherish and protect him.  a look that could kill cause i'm  so...

Tremble not now
As thy world takes a turn
As thunderstorms rage
And dark clouds emerge
Tremble not now
Whilst your foundations may shake
As the rock you were stood on
Crumbles and breaks
Tremble not now
Whilst all around seems quite mad
As friends quick disperse
Life bleak and so sad
Tremble not now
When strife disrupts...

For long we have sailed in the river of sadness
When and how questions caressing the lips
The nostrils sniffing the odor of violence

Like a country in which average age is deceased
We waited for the day this will be abolished
Smoke of restless wailing to heavens
We wished but...

life
barely a
spark
in
time
flashed past
brief memories
soon forgotten
promises made
to ourselves
loves
the world
still unfilled
new year’s
resolutions
barely edited
from year to year
promises
that take 
a moment
to make
a lifetime
to honour
as the
inevitable
end
at accelerating
pace
draws
to a slow or
painful
abrupt
cessation
promises?
if not
now,
when?

Low, low, low
I brought myself
Down, down, down
To the ground, ground, ground
Where I started to shatter and break
I started to transform and I started to raise the stake
Hiss, hiss, hiss went the light
Stop! Stop! Stop! Said my fight
don't say what you got, girl
Don't say what you...

I was scared and afraid of what I could be. 
whenever a person of interest could really see me.
I don't fall for palm reading, magic, religion,or sexual desires.
All I want to know are you for me are you my special someone who will love and...

The doctor came; he said very clearly, "a handful of days, if nearly". 
I looked him squarely, and then most directly, "time is what you make it". 
The doctor left, he did not come back, yet he was sure and shook his head.

I sat alone...

In silence my lips have been drawing the shapes
Of phrases, so vague and deprived of a meaning.
My dreams are about to find an escape
To where the end always meets the beginning.
My black and white fears have got an excuse:
I still have the world - in...

Have you ever reached
into that bag of goodies
that is your life
and experienced 
that tummy-dropping sensation
when you find it
to be a tad empty
a little short-handed
not containing what you need
for your current situation
and everything 
absolutely everything
becomes one massive 
all pervasive
reverberating echo
making you feel
positively, undoubtedly 
unable to cope...
