Best Time Out Poems

Make no haste,
your work is restless.

Aeon give me pause--
no more ticking
gears grinding
ever towards the
lonely end.

Live the now.
Even Death took
a holiday,
veering briefly from an
eternity of reaping
solitude.

Take your time
on earth and
mingle--
overindulge in
reverie.
Rest assured,
oblivion can
wait....

TIME OUT

Today’s rat race is full 
Of obligations,
And definitely riddled with
Frustrations, 
We all have to multifunction to  
Keep up the pace,
So that we do not, 
Have to lose face.
Guilty of not spending
Enough time,
With a multitude of things,
But this guilt in turn brings,
A restlessness that...

Time Out

I'm still around, I’ve not gone far,
I'm sorry but that's how things are.
It's just that now I have no time,
To sit around and voice my rhyme.

But now I'm working ‘twenty-four seven’,
So staff, like me, can live in heaven.
My mark I'll make upon this role,
Until...

L one(ly) days need not be gray
O ffer yourself time away 
V isit the ocean blue
I ntrigue yourself with a sunset hue
N ature in her beauty can cure
G iving the soul a lavation, to make pure

T ake away the strain of stress filled days

On July 25 walking up the mountain that is sacred to the Wamapoke in PA,
since I could not make it to the Mayan Temples in Mexico.

I was out of breath because my body was too heavy to carry my own weight
But I rose early that...

Take time out to smell the flowers,
Breathe deeply of their heavenly scent,
Take a swig of their ambrosial nectar,
Drink deep of their palette of colours
And arouse your kinesthetic sense.

All around you is a garden of flowers,
Take time out to bask in their glory,
Laugh with the joy...

Excuse me while I take time out to mourn

     I can see the headlines tomorrow morn

          BRONCOS TAKE A BASHING

The lacquer, the tease, the crimp, of the hair
as we go out in style, mesh tops with flair
the motley choices of fashion pronounced
by the neon signs on our t-shirts no doubt.

Bobby socks and crop tops, spangled and bright,
all bangles and pearls to represent a Mardi...

Time Out
'Wake up' the cocks say
I saw the sun and forgot to pray
Then my memory brought forth evil deeds I recorded yesterday.
At a point, my instinct chastised,
but couldn't override the pleasures the evil scenes brought to my entire being.
'Do it once again' my tickled treacherous...

time out, my love
fire is everywhere…
our safety first...

Punishing the children severely only reflects badly
on bad parenting skills,

First, they take away little treats, that the children
look forward to from week to week,

It is never a temporary adjustment but a power play
by the "Domestic Management",

When time-out turns into a disaster they cleverly go after
the...

What luxury to get mad
about last night's basketball loss
and watch the full moon descending
at the speed the earth turns.

Things could get worse
personally and for the community.
Bombings, killings, anomie
boiling frogs and witches cursing.

The changing climate,
typhoons in the Philippines,
volcanoes and tsunamis, WWII which I missed,
Thanksgiving nor'easter, Easter...

I don’t want to do anything today,

Don’t want to even try.

Just want to sit and do nothing

And watch the world go by.

Don’t want to be hassled or pestered,

Or questioned the reason why.

Just want to be still and quiet,

And watch the world go by.

Don’t want to...

Bad love, break the heart in a time out
One lover’s brain got the best of the doubt
And confusion to the other when he heard about

It rained, it poured, and it hurt like hell
Since the address changed, forget the mail
That was sent too early to say...
