My friend, put a pause on throwing punches.
There's no use holding on to petty grudges.

Always accept an...

Let Bygones Be Bygones - Edited
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...

Let Bygones LieEveryone 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,...

Let Bygones Be BygonesI 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...

BygonesA 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 BygonesBygones 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....

Let Bygones Be Buy GunsI 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...

BygonesThere 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...

BygonesThe 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...

BygonesNeither 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’...

Bygonesthe 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...

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