Best Out Of Time Poems

Stepping out of time

I tried to make you jealous
As it slowly broke my heart
Every time the music played
it tore my soul apart

As I walked in the room
I put on my biggest smile
The love songs I wished were ours
played on the DJ,s dial

The music had a...

The delicate breath of hiraeth,
encroaches upon my quill, 
beyond the water’s edge,                                 ...

Planning your demise is like 
tip-toeing on a tight rope    
realising there's no net
challenging a 
speeding car and
daring it to stop
mortgaging your manhood
amassing liabilities with no program of repayment
leaping to the wrong conclusions
leaning toward self-delusions
indulging in the same old 
self-defeating speculations
endorsing self-destruction...

Will destiny allow
This poet’s wrinkled brow
To write a poem now
That brings a great big WOW?

I scarcely think it will.
For wrinkled brows can kill
And leave a fruitless chill.
Then where would be the thrill?

I’d rather think that love
That’s sanctioned from above
Will bring the needed shove
Toward what I’m...

The hour glass is turned and fixed immediately at birth
Starting the life journey in this worldly realm
Seconds constantly flowing
Running out of time

Young children seem to have no need for the perception of passing time 
Teenage feels invincible with little concern for it
The twenties bring fleeting...

Oh you tell of a forlorn maiden
so much out of step out of time
one so close to this my heart
alas simple of mind
yet she is my kind
she’s my mother
age exposed
withered
lost

Years slip by
   and the world continues to turn
   changing and progressing
   or regressing.
Retrograde evolving
   skipping thru history lessons
   to venture forth
   bold and fool hearty.
Looking backward
   visionaries see'

As I look down from here
I feel like I am falling
That is when I realize
It’s you my friend calling

I go out on a limb
To gather my harvest
I must make it through
Winter is the hardest

I have to climb up higher 
To reach the best crop
But you...

Take pity on me as I linger
I look both ways but find no solace.  

Rushing, racing I speed away 
but straight into a tree is where I lay...

I stumble and fall. I'm out of time.
 I am pushed and shoved and pulled astray. ...

Tick tock, time wont stop!
Hurry you're little ass up...
Come noon, guns wont stop!!...

I set the date
Hope I am not late
To save some souls
From chilly fate

The year of our Lord
Dial one nine, one two
From my home-based lab
After locking in-situ

A gyro spins
A crackle, a flash
I land on the deck
With a terrible crash

Oh souls that surround me
Running here and around
Never...

Sunday poem on a Wednesday!

Time and space warps,
Unusually, unexpectedly,
Topsy turvy,
Poems composed tardily,
Sunday consciousness,
On a Wednesday
For goodness sake,
What's at stake,
Lunch at breakfast,
Words that don't rhyme,
Dreams remembered in patches,
Or is 'this' a dream scene?
Pain and delight playing,
Silence typing,
Out of synch,
Yet in the pink,
In case you wonder,
I am...

Go not to were the grogwarts go,
Were the fanged tooth ratgut bites,
were death is rife and life is cheap,
And they practice pagan rites.

A throwback to pre-history,
It is a place of shadows and  mystery,           
It...

It was a beautiful day for a picnic in the park,
We all thought we would stay there until dark.

Just enjoying the peace of a late summer bliss,
Like a departing lover engages you with a kiss!

We lunched on good food, and played volleyball,
And butterflies drifted by,...

Echoes of Time 
Echoes of time consume me
I've been there and back again
I was that little girl
Ripped apart and laid bare
Yes I was left naked there
No one would help me
No one would dare
They were afraid of him
They couldn't care 
When I looked into her eyes
They...
