Best Delay Poems

Hesitation
Just a moments delay
Lives change forever
Trajectory altered 
Heading to the unknown
Why? Why?
I so liked my routine
The unchanging gives me security
Makes me feel safe
I like to control the outcome
Do I really control anything?
Allow me my illusions
If I am not the master of my own destiny,
to whom...

(a disastrous morning Sonnet)

I am the very model of a girl who’s late for morning meal,
my charger failed, the printer jammed, the morning’s start has been surreal
I lost a scrunchy and a shoe, I had to use some dry shampoo
my Keurig had no k-cups too,...

I wait for you to come with open arms,
for pain that flays and sears me will not cease
though once I feared you, now I see your charms
I long to enter rest and sleep in peace

For you are nothing but a placid state
devoid of feelings and...

Remember that day
Your memory set to replay
Remember that day
When your life was astray

Tattered curtains in the wind
A path you soon rescind
Echoes of silence in the halls
Shadows dance upon the walls
Her door off its frame
Search, call her name
Terror brings you to your knees
Your gut twisting with...

Winter Delay

I've lived so long here
yet when time for me to leave
everything seems new

I've missed the sun
moon, stars, clouds, the very sky
only lone glance left

nothing to choose now
just bid bye and go away
someone else will stay

Don't Take Others for Granted
Many People take others for Granted
Instead of Sowing Seeds of Love
Like God intended to be Planted

People think others will Always be there
But this is NOT True
Don't Lose the TRUE meaning of Life
With Always quarreling and strife

Change Your ways, do it Today
Walk...

Without Delay

To write poems am really always ambitious;
Are nutritious and becoming quite delicious
Put words together and up started to cook
Amount expanded until it became a big book.

Favorite poet of people soon started being;
Number increased and in myself was believing
By my many poems am nourished and...

While I'm waiting
You always come with delay
While I'm overwhelmed with work
You always pass by hastefully
While I'm suffering
You always linger around
While I'm enjoying
You always slip away quietly
I can't do anything to stop you
And so, time, I do need your blessings
Just like without any blessings from the...

Climbing the Mountain

I thought I’d climb the mountain
It wasn’t very high;
I thought for sure I’d climb it;
Someday before I die.

It was ever my ambition;
It was on my Bucket list.
As soon as that was finished
And I had taken care of this.

Then the climb proved too expensive;
I...

I have decided something and I want you to know.
My life will change from tomorrow!

I will stop having sugar.
I won’t look at chips and cake and burgers.

I won’t even rise up late.
Gymming, swimming, running would be my date.

Its high time, I need digital detox.
Books all...
