   My friend, put a pause on throwing punches.
    There's no use holding on to petty grudges. 
   It's much easier to breathe with feuds ended.
     Always accept an...

The past, when past is gone,
No amount of wishful thinking will bring it back,
In life, we must move on,
No use crying over memories and flashbacks;

Life is like a flower,
It can be enjoyed as long as it is present,
For soon it will wither,
Then nothing will remain...

Premium Member Let Bygones Lie
Everyone harbors a tattered fleet of bygones in dock
Old scores and sores of direct hits we've sustained
In past long gone battles and tussles, well past o'clock
But held as bygone mementos, your slate unclean and stained.

Forgiveness should not forget, but should move on.
Let sleeping dogs lie,...

I feel bad because I made a mistake
That is just awful
How could I do that?
I shouldn’t have done that
I should have said something
Or written something
But there is no time
And it’s too late now
I hope that person forgives me
It just like what someone would say to...

Begone...

Bygones
A longing churns within my soul
 A hunger unfulfilled
I smash the crystal hourglass
The sands of time are spilled

I dip my toes into the sand 
My eyes begin to burn
I wipe a hot escaping tear
As memories return

I try to drag them back with me
Into the here...

Bygones Is Bygones
Bygones is bygones 
Rights are wrong. 
What an ugly, sick song. 
If your headlong grin and 
sly stare exuded any less 
pomp, your clown-prop nose 
and cherry toothpaste lips 
would have long ago slithered 
away from your paved face....

I have carried you in my arms round the four seasons,
Connected you to the memories of a train & station, 
You were the last train that travelled day & night over the arteries of my hand, 
You were my last train & I was your...

Bygones
There is a limpid bird
Shedding a rare feather,
Wilting the loose mind as 
The beak confronts loss.
Yes, I am simply falling
Into old skin and fresh dreams,
Beady eyes pocketing the sky
For a flight of my own, brazen
And loud, unvaned, yet straight,
An arrow of unfailing pose
Aiming for the...

The fans of the Brooklyn Dodgers
Once rivaled those of Roy Rogers
But when Trump came on
Those standards were gone
Trigger got stuffed with old codgers...

Bygones
Neither yesterday with her episodes sad,
Nor dreamy tomorrow in lively linen clad,
Will ever beat the present moment's feel
Of wars won by sheer grit and avid steel. 

You’re an irredeemable dunce to look back
And rue or weep over yesterday's lost goal,
 Since you’ll for stale tears’...

Bygones
the essence of dissonance is pain
poison in your veins
drop your lamentation
life is no vacation
and you were promised nothing

there is only fear
“oh dear,” they say,
“‘twas only a scratch!”
but layers upon layers 
of scarcely-healed scratches 
are scars

your obsession with possession 
has eaten your discretion
you’re a slave 
to...

Behead your bygones
   that don't belong.
Beget and bedeck
   your being, 
   with much better
   less belligerent bees....
