Journey on for the Moment
if I could describe your soul it would be
clear mirror shattering forevermore
where pieces are jigsaw puzzles
not fitting, falling under oak table
stuck on persian carpet existing
upside down on another planet
soul shadows broken spiderwebs
hanging on ceilings not existing
another calls himself father holding
elbow skin blowing in a wind

Here for the Moment
Janice Avery loved deep green nature; like cherry sunset owls, gawping.
She dwelt with her parents and Sissy, when old, golden days were walking.
They lived out in the hilly country, where orangeish stars could be seen;
And summer seemed to last forever, for days held a predominate sheen.
Noons were filled with happiness laughter, that foreshadowed pink moon.
Life

Try to Live for the Moment
Try to Live for the Moment
Why relive the past?
Why worry about the future?
Each new day has its own promise
Why get bogged down in what can’t be changed?
I just try to live for the moment.

Always For the Moment-
Only for a moment
Well I always be just here
Get here in a while
it's a discernment
Of a caring pleading soul
That I've been bought with the Christ
I have been made up
Covered and it's just
As I am I'm only here for more Always
...for a moment
At the end of the moment

Let's Live For the Moment
if just for today
let go of your worries
and set them free to the winds
if just for today
open your heart
to what the future promises
if just for today
let love bring you warmth
and cast rainbows over your horizons
if just for today
let me tell you how much i love you
and dispel all complications
if just for today
let's you and i

For the Moment
For the moment, we pause needless striving
That dear friends, includes habit of thinking
Shedding fears and guilt needing atonement
Rekindling instead, innate bliss quotient
Shifting into joy stream, celebrating
Life is fleeting, yet struggle unending
Oh hermit, live fully, time’s-a-wasting
Discard the ego urge for attainment
For the moment
Pause to smell the roses, soul uplifting
Smile at the stranger,

For the Moment To Linger
once in a lifetime
this moment
precious as it was
would never pass again
how i longed
for it to linger
to capture its essence
immortalize it
so i wrote this poem
to give it life
and set it free
on wings of a butterfly

For the Moment
Dear unanswerable creator.
Oh, merciful and carelessly brutal lord.
We are alive for a moment.
We have our pleasures and despairs.
We seem but episodes in a series.
A question whispered, like gentle breathing:
Do our frolics play on in astral syndication
or are we recycled into cosmic dust?

Just For the Moment
Just For The Moment
Follow me my friend, into a journey of our adolescent youth..
Two young girls giggling, holding hands.
Life’s dreamers through the sands of time. Can you see it?
The joy of being young and alive, naught a care,
only the kaleidoscope of our minds embracing, Just for the moment..
Remember the clandestine paths, and the warmth

For the Moment At Sunset
Nature filled with flowing imagination makes it's entry _stage right
Slow-motion grandeur, with elongated trails of gold, red, blush pink,
and fiery yellow;
Sprinkled about, majestic forms _twisting upwards in billowing white
regal splendor.
For the moment, time stands still.
For the moment, my system slows to a tranquil pant.
For the moment, I share, and become in perfect

Love For the Moment
I get
Addicted
To her
Novocaine
Moments,
The times where
She makes
Everything
Quiet.
She lights fires
In places I can’t
See,
Burns tattoo-like
Days into my palms
So I’ll never forget.
And I won’t.
Take my hand
And
I’ll swallow you
Like an angry
God-
A distant
God-
One
I can’t find
Myself
Believing in.
Then,
Tap into my
Soul
Like a maple tree,
It bleeds out
Memories
And heartbreak
Hopefulness,
Like this time
It will be
Different.
No two
Loves
Are the same,
Or even
Comparable-
I’d say I love you now
For who you are
Currently,
Just as

Love For the Moment
People only love you for the moment
As soon as times get hard they become opponents
I don't trust a soul, I'm okay being alone
People taking shots at me, became my comfort zone
Fake love, fake friends, fake hugs, fake loyalty
If you're going to judge at least do it lawfully
I been through hell, the devil is avoiding me
Battled

For the Moment
Turn from breathless auto able yet is over,
What time of day do one seek the blame,
Good guy kind guy worthy of privileges to meet the parents,
Late nights time of live yet replaying scenario,
Should I stay or should I go,
Education bound but I’m in love with the night ten years later,
Wonder if love fall

Lost For the Moment
Where are you?
Where did you go?
How can I make you return?
Are you with someone new?
Of me does she know?
Or how for you I yearn?
What should I do?
What is left to grow?
Why is it no longer my turn?
Has she asked who?
Does she speak slow?
Can she not learn?
Because we are stuck like glue
We share one shadow
And your
