Best Better Late Than Never Poems
The indelible stamp
of my favorite aunt
my birthday gift arrived
seven months late
Yet unwrapping the newspaper
was well worth the wait
Though the fruit cake was moldy ~
The ‘London Times' was first-rate
I've been waiting for you,
for so long.
Never thought one day,
I'd belong.
To someone who cared,
for me.
Someone who'd always,
be there for me.
But,
Love comes to those who love,
and wait forever.
Don't give up hope, one day
you will be together.
When it comes to finding love...
better late than never.
So many years have passed, waiting,
for you to appear.
Almost given up hope,
being alone my greatest fear.
Then one day suddenly, you found me!
Showed me the love we both needed,
so desperately.
Now time stands still when we are together.
Don't give up, be patient.
because,
When it comes to finding love,
better late than never.

Did I get that much older
Or did he somehow get
younger
Maybe the answer is buried
somewhere in between.
Grandad to my children
Forevermore dad to me
I see him now in a way I had
never seen.
Has he become more tolerant
Or I much more sedate
We now listen to listen to what
the other has to say
I spent my youth in battles
But have come to realize
All conversation is not a
familial battle play.
I wanted what other families
had
A dad who was always there
Ignoring his depth of personal
sacrifice
He was thankful for the job he
had
Worked morning noon and
night
He showed his deep undying
love
To give his family a better life
Sitting in the back car
of a fast moving train,
two strangers, their eyes slowly collide
Probing questions
over dinner by candlelight,
got so much in common they soon realize
Come late evening,
there’s dancing and laughter
Such a strong attraction they cannot hide
At the end of the journey,
they exchange digital promises
And so begins a December romantic sleigh ride
Better late than never, Chorus:
when two searching hearts find true love
A love given in a short time,
can be more than
some do receive in their whole life
Better late than never,
when two strangers meet in the night
The love given in such a short time
can be more than
some will ever know in their whole life
Better late than never ...
Love is always
better late than never
At an evening movie
to watch the silver screen,
with popcorn and lonely winter dreams
Standing in line next to you,
is another lonely heart too
Chocolate conversation opens the first scene
By the end of the movie,
as the last credits roll by
Your winter thoughts have turned to spring
Next come hot summer dates,
then cool autumn kisses late
December sleigh rides romantic holidays bring
Better late than never, Chorus:
when two searching hearts find true love
A love given in a short time,
can be more than
some do receive in their whole life
Better late than never ...
Love is always
better late than never
Better late than never,
when two strangers meet in the twilight
The love given in such a short time
can be more than
some will ever know in their whole life
Better late than never ...
Love is always
better late than never
Love is always on time ... even when it comes late
Thanks to all the talented poetesses
here at PSoup who inspire my muse greatly
— Romantic Warrior
Better late than never,
But never late is better;
Complete the endeavour,
Be punctual, go-getter;
We try to be clever,
Late, but do to the letter,
Remember however
To be on time, trend-setter.

Birthdays come, and Birthdays go,
Yours is past, as you well know,
Not really sure why I forgot,
Could it have been an evil plot,
I always have good intention,
Just too busy, worth a mention,
Better slow down, smell the roses,
Stop the grindstone, save the noses,
You’re thought ‘bout, more often that not,
You’re in my prayers, never forgot,
So I say with no reservation,
Gotta stop this procrastination,
So in closing, I’m thinkin’ of you,
One in Mass. and One in Muzoo.
...exhortations against Ole Saint Nick
(alternately titled untold treasured shenanigans of Santa)
his elves and reindeer discovered only
by colluding via "FAKE" fluke
did I manage to worm winning the trust
among Christmas elves and reindeer
confident this generic guy,
would never breach scandalous
tidbits, into an underground impregnable
air-raid shelter, the Motley Crue
tied blindfold over my eyes, didst steer
me hermetically sealed,
which crawl space required me to hunker
sound (cloud) proof bunker
while ensconced (security detail munchkins,
who just so happened tubby *****
minded entrance portal)
only after getting the thumb up signal,
whereat nose pies planted
espionage surveillance devices
the chief head honcho and attendants,
Smoky and the bandits respectively,
magically, and handily did appear
and despite one hundred percent bug-free,
a whispered stance opted just to make sure
no unwanted eavesdropper could overhear
plus every participant swore an oath, cuz
any leaked real or “FAKE” information,
would spell imminent demise to be near
the upshot, sans grave emergency
describing clandestine arraignment
involving some rogue elf
(most likely at least two),
and a misbehaving reindeer
(names withheld to avoid any spoiler alert),
plus this entire kit and caboodle
necessary to help Saint Nick
got wind, (and subsequently reined in)
a rave party with orgiastic
sex, drugs and rock and roll
that a band-aided elf(ves) hest
laced with Pepper Minstix
(anonymously hashtagged Sodom and Gomorrah)
sullied pure as the driven snow repute,
when aliasing Sugarplum Mary (“FAKE NAME”)
detected snorting cocaine
codenamed Alabaster Snowball,
while additionally besmirching her virginity
via coital cavorting amidst a Bushy Evergreen
shaking as if frenzied with feverish boogie woogie flu
which seductive, prurient,
and master baiter friend zeed
(spunky Gangnam style) Shinny Upatree
which could slay Wunorse Openslae reputation
as substance abusers,
and sex offenders if not worse.
Advice,
Better late than never
I was advised to ask the Doctor
For a home visit
And within just 5 minutes
My Mother was admitted to A&E
Because in all honesty i think
towards the end she was screwing
with me getting in my head
Playing game's putting me on a emotional guilt trip
But come this time i have to admit
I am not a Doctor
Nor a Shrink
I am merely her Son
And my Love alone
Can not fix her
It's now up to the Medical Professional's
break through write
splattered on this page
you don't notice it now
inbetween words
like skies bleeding pink
sealing ships
how the sand bit their lips
before the streams run distances
anything to say, "notice me"
a fad of today
what will be left fallen
changing tides
idea man
all for you
I didn't see this coming, sorrow put my hands in my head
but obviously you did, emergency exit stage left
under your thumb again
green winter mint
cool ocean breeze
what it was supposed to be it remained innocent
never truly knew what it meant
habitually finger pointed at follow your heart
to redefine your spirit
focuslesness forming on the next goal
the gold to carve deceptions out of, sidetracked for the false idols
answers we keep repeating but misunderstanding til we get it, familiar mistakes seems like
the only message
the answer our truth
the one truth
the happines we find
the wrath of the healing that remains of our ignorance of being selfish
come with me
but be wary
and look this way and that
question intentions
know intentions contorted and distorted
squeaky clean doesnt exist
room full of mirrors to understand the beauty of our reflection to his
all I see is the film and dust on the memories of what I am
I get wrapped up in me
forgetting the extension of the meories i make in the we and us
i keep forgetting exists
got plans
make a stand
do this
with a strong fist
you can't miss
over power your mistake
so thing will be better
BETTER LATE
THAN NEVER
Okay! Better late, than never
As long it’s not a damn fever
Or else, you’ll see your lover
Sobbing, on a wooden cover
For who’ll pay the land rover
If, you left just your revolver
When you departed, forever
Because you did not recover
For thinking it’s just a fever
High or low, fever is a fever
Don’t waste time in a waver
If you want to see your lover
As long it’s not a damn fever
Okay! Better late, than never
It has been months, I was lost in my thoughts
Forgot that there exists a page
where I need to upload my writings
All of those fine quotes, free verse
also, some incomplete poetries which I need to complete
It's already late but still
so here I am getting back to work with all my strength
To complete my pending poetries and new ones
So that somewhere in the corner of the world
It spreads smiles and a little motivation to all my readers
That it is better late than never
B-etter late than never,
R-egards don't come on time;
E-very well wish from friends
N-eeds the mountain to climb.
D-ay twelve in warm July, rhyme's arrival is delayed;
A-lthough the music sounds familiar, it's over and over played.
R-ight there in the home
O-f your facebook account;
L-ate greeter from far away
D-oes it with huge amount.
A-mount of pure delight is sent through the messenger;
N-othing to be ashamed of, it's better late than never.
Good morning Mr. Sunshine your journey's underway
Have you come across any pocket penguins on your rise today?
I'm looking for one specifically, on her I am sold
You would know her if you saw her, she's a beauty to behold
Well let me tell you some things more to help you to recall
First of all she sings like fire, she's brighter than them all
Secondly she's passionate in what she wants to do
She'll keep you on your toes so you'd better think things through
Thirdly, if she asks a question it's more likely than it's not
She already knows the answer she's just seeing what you've got
Fourthly she's so feminine, as womanly as they come
Her tastes are just impeccable, in all second to none
And finally, though this isn't all the things that I could here devise
She's got the most captivating, incredible blue eyes
A pocket penguin yes indeed, but what I say is true
I'd love to have her with me and if you knew her you would too
won't co back to school
need the tools
time to choose
and its very cool
ihaving good edcation
will be with you for ever
its
BETTER LATE
THAN NEVER
