Life Is a Timed Dish

Life is a timed dish
                                            love pain sorrow tastes lie in
                                                     greater or lesser

Timed Right

Cloudless sky at dusk
Gradient sunset fades black
Our pace was perfect

My hybrid beauty, Sutter's Gold
Your scent so sweet, your colors bold

There could not be a fairer rose.
Most perfect petals now are those.

Your leaves are green and fresh, unbitten.
You follow every rose rule written.

You are your perfect best today
With the rose show still three weeks away!

You are your perfect best today.

My hybrid beauty, Sutter's Gold.

Timed Passage

go out in the field with that 
helmeted Go-Pro and press the button,
not that little clearing beside the building
but the field as wide as it is far, far out

look up and stream the dark washed sky
times elapsed in fusioned milky light
watch it arc across the chilled, stubbled field
the cold sparks beautifully splayed across

turn it over now - a bit further, roll over,
refocus, look down close at the loam laid on
set the time-lapse for lengthening days
and watch your shadow pass below you

see the seed casing crack open and 
seedlings rise to first season of life 
toward the now brightened sky above 
listen to the cells elongate springing

against gravity to push away to up, up 
sit up, or stand and raise the gaze farther 
the slow pan of growth, Jacked up stalk through 
sky and clouds to see what's so big up there

An Ill-Timed Game

Some people never know a thing called Kairos.
Before we bat an eye, it’s taken from us.
We seem to be on time and miss the boat.
If it’s important to be said, just make a note
because the moment that we move our mouths to talk
the call will drop and all good thoughts are lost. 
When the mood is right and feelings are so strong
in a nanosecond something will go wrong.
Some have tried to beat an ill-timed game of life.
Stop and think how much they need it to play right.
Kairos is the dream that looms way out ahead.
Stumbling blocks and interruptions rule instead.
If we could find our proper place to be
fated timing might just work for us, agree?

Timed

An untimely tortoise was tap tap tapping on a bright pink table cloth. But table cloths are neither clever clowns, cooing cows canoodling, and neither are they chorus clapping crabs in a line up displayed on a holographic pole.
Systematic signage shrink then? Yes. Well whoopee and how very very exciting too. IT is to be non existent if one constantly places a brain into a swamp or a mind's view into a piece of a log. Section then multiply the baking trays for they are often in disarray and become very annoyed and then refuse to preform even the simplest of boiling duties with a grin. A gruel grin. 
Strong is a ship sail and a ship's sail is a Sophocles in a cloud. Whirling.
And now all that is said it is time to dance around the kitchen.
Good.

Timed Sanity

The ticking of the clocks made me snap.
Their constant teasing,
Slowing down,
Speeding up.
Tick tock,
Tick tock.
Going on and on
"We're losing time" they scream
But really, 
Time doesn't exist,
Clocks do.
We have been programmed to run on something that doesn't exist
"In enough time..."  I'll go insane.
 In enough time,  of course
But if time doesn't exist,
Then I'll never lose my sanity.
Or maybe,
Just maybe,
I never had any.

Heartbeats Never Timed

There's fog over the valley,
     the river's running high,
Thunder's rolling from the east
     through a darkening sky.
The ev'ning comes in hazy
     for one moment of time,
Moving through the shades of grey
     trapped in this heart of mine.

Candlelight starts flickering
     in sullen breezes soft,
Bringing chills to youthful dreams
     kept hidden in a loft.
Along forgotten waysides
     are roads no longer signed,
They hold on to lives gone by
     and mem'ries left behind.
     
Faces in the shadows deep
     can barely hold a smile,
They await the light of day
     not seen in quite awhile.
Chimes echo from an old clock
     when two hands are aligned,
Ever sounding through the years
     for heartbeats never timed.

Summer Timed

Summer deals its first hand
no bluffing behind her eyes
depression heated to irritating comfortless
catching tunes upon the air
that haunt from summered pasts
the clink of ice on crystal
Mowers scream from close by
a yapped chorus bites the air
the haze lifting from cement
for a moment ripples reality
then a falling wind chills
with the burning shadows
of anything stopping the sun's stretch

Timed Love

Please be advised, my Seconds are weighed in gold,
Therefore, comprehend, my Minutes in diamonds are sold,
Be warned, my Hours, as a commodity, are priceless all told,
A Day, A Whole Day, a value I hardly dare pronounce,
But for you, this Day, the next Day all Days are yours,
This I am proud to announce.

Timed Out

Time wends, stutters, stalls.
Time was when it flew.

Timeless are the dead stars
timed to the last moment
are the living.

Man is a faceless clock
on a blank wall.
In time, the deaf
tell the blind to see.

Timed Steps

A quarter of a century, A life I have lived..What have 
I learned? Ah, but life. A life full of adventure,
dissapointments, turns, and curves; life and death, joys
and tears.. I have pressed on- Through all the best,
and all the strife. How did I make it here? But
through one day at a time from one at a time.. I took 
one stair. Climbing ever steadily up the stairs of 
time; I have grown ever more each second through this 
life. By every motion of my steps, I will continue to
climb through every obstacle my Lord has beckoned.
Whether easy or hard..I press on- For that moment
never lasts; It is just a matter of time- Until my
Lord calls me home forever from all endeavors of 
evil..To rest in peace eternally- All steps have now
passed.

Premium Member Timed Out

Some life is like that haystack needle thing that pre drones a slim positivity
trance-a troubled parlay of sane stagnant standard stillnesses incomplete in that ailing aqueous humor annual invite of a psychic trio IdEgoSuperE overdrive dominant shortcut over your non-everlasting cruise control allowing that Soul-shoal-ization sucking effort soul short of authentic selflessness to out over never everlastings. like a wash cycle let's drain, spin,dry and fold our worst desires into an anonymous no handy-caped viral literal composite parking for the posthumousaged pilgrims, through fault of their ignorant owness, store some deformed drama defense to fertilize the fragile inner in you past potential and pseudo suffer maggot mirror memories that die so far inward, but outside the box thought-----a crafty corporeal corrupted conclusion coming to Humoversal conspiracy.  Menu please.
