Premium Member Haste
Who walks into forever maudlin and seeking heights misplaced ?
What tortured memories, would mankind wish most undone, unsung?
When time's tide seeks to gather grace, with each painful thought displaced, 
Where fullness bursts, how happy will those emptied heart-holds be once wrung?
Why waste the gift of...

Haste!
How painful it is to fall
Mind I am lost
Please rescue me!
Haste! For stranded I stand
Upon shores bemused
Alongside the sea
Haste!     Haste!
Lest I choose to swim 
And lie beneath what no eye can see

         ...

Sweet star storms the skies
the wake of sunrays' goodbye

Premium Member Waste of Haste
Mockingbird outside my window
sings cheerfully throughout the night,
while my harried song resonates
only in hours when the sun shines.

First the chugging of tea,
sounds of traffic on the way to work.
No matter how much is accomplished,
I never seem to catch up.

“Make haste,” the boss growls.
Fingers glide more...

Haste Makes Waste Ode To a Cyclist
No matter what I read
No matter what I said
The listener never stirred in bed
To all he just appeared quite dead
Eyes blank and always open
Not a word from him was spoken
Through tubes the young man would be fed
He never blinked
Just stared ahead
What more about him can...

Such Haste, Such Waste
Brother, why the haste
why are you so quick to bail
how life has made you frail
why art thou so lean in faith


Desires of sodom, you chase
till you wear and rot to waste.
The truths of life you dare not face
you cower behind the shell of race
and bequeath...

Waste In Haste
My soul weeps and my heart bleeds,
We seem to have lost our core creeds.
Youngsters are now in a very hot haste,
not to wield wealth, but to wine and waste...

Character has been cocooned in a coffin,
True beauty gasps for breath in a bin.
Our ladies are weapons...

   FOR WORDS UTTERED IN HASTE,

   ARE OFTEN REGRETTED AFTER

   ON PAPER, IS TO GIVE YOURSELF TIME

'friendship' In Haste, Lit Op 6
1 My fellow, my friends,
We are gathered in ends
To our formerly path
Of individuality
And each one share now
A lane of their road.

2 Oh, the array
Of trails we display
I view them all,
As gold threads sewed
In the clothing of Awe

3 For I am aware,
Hence we shall beware,
That even...

In Haste
Love is true, no problem here,
no agitation, stress, 
no words that tip the applecart 
and leave us in distress.
Unless we're careful they will come
to set the cat among the pigeons,
dump our lives to disarray
and counteract our fond expressions.

In a flash we use expressions, 
robbing Peter...

Haste
Haste pick up your pace,
devour fast food for a taste,
trip over shoelace,
try not to make a mistake,
in our labyrinth rat race.

Slow Down and Hush Up
I miss the peace of silent thought--
This worldly pace has grown so fast—
And in its wake that speed has brought

Us woes unknown throughout the past,
And now we find we have to face
A sea of troubles, deep and vast.

If we could only slow that pace
And find...
