You don't get a second chance
In a world of haste and make believe
where time is a most valuable commodity,
do we really want to miss
chasing rainbows and cuddling kittens,
taking the scenic route and
smelling the roses along our way?
Sometimes a detour is the best shortcut.

the haste
the haste
He writes day and night
why this hurry?
Does he sense
something coming near
His silence had lasted years
Inferiority
the killer of confidence
must be vanquished
As the body, weakens
the brain
is a galloping filly
not at easy
when in the stable
When he tired, closes his eyes
images
of a life on the sidelines
always an observer
So many thoughts
does nothingness
means zero
no light
nor

In Passion's Haste
If I let my heart be broken by a stranger
Is it impossible to believe
Or if loving at the first of sights
Not embarrassingly naive
Or if I claimed to know of true intentions
From a flurried passing gaze
Or if from but a fleeted greeting
Be colorfully amazed
Or if to me it makes no difference
Instants or many years
Or if without

We Dont Waste Good Taste
That which has a nice taste
One wouldn't want to waste.
Kids would it chew to a paste,
Eating it not in haste:
It is the strongest zeal
For a good kitchen's meal...
To gourmets a nice deal,
Pure delight one can feel;
Some with the heart of Rock
While feeding selves doors lock;
Each moment there's a knock
Their ears solidly block!

Post Haste
12/13/21
As of now, I got no mate
Working toward my own place
Another tragedy
Another casualty
Becoming a cold case
Zero evidence they could locate
Something sentimental
Something special
Stashed in a gold vase
People continuing to show hate
As a nation
A lot of saturation
Too much is so fake
OH great
All these tricks
Always got to watch my six
Keep an eye out for those snakes
Had to turn

We Must Haste
We must haste
They are so happy, the parents, grandmother’s uncle and aunts showing on Facebook the addition
to the family.
Do they not for a minute think what the child´s future will be?
The world is on the brink of total collapse, but no one takes this calamity that is coming our way, will
kill them

Patience Halts All Haste
It's often said
that patience halts all haste:
one must refrain and not taste
sweetness until it's time to celebrate
and go wild!
Refrain from touching that hand seeking some comfort
before you have sworn faithfulness,
be hesitant; ignoring instincts is unwise,
if acting on your own, seek advice.
How can someone give tenderness
without ever shown gentleness?
I did that and regretted it bitterly,

Without Haste Gracious
Giving each situation due consideration
those who are gracious comply to best timing
Family and friends retain highest dedication
Giving each situation due consideration
Offering helpful service, selfishness chastened
peaceful demeanour with intentions aligning
Giving each situation due consideration
those who are gracious comply to best timing

The Waiting Room
The tickling watches, the shaking legs,
Minds full with silent cries and begs
Hearts are homes
Where the oil is ceaseless impatience,
And neighbours – the anxious ancestors.
The dreams, the love, the perfection,
All blur.
The waiting, waiting and waiting,
In this bewildering times they all were!
It’s a road not unique,
It’s a road they all walk,
The roads with the same lock.
In the

Emily Dickinson: Drove He Knew Haste
Emily Dickinson: Drove He Knew Haste
It was like a day like no other,
a day like so many before this,
college bell rang like a high school bell,
a bell like so many that bother.
Cornelius a friend, Bethany,
his friend, Tyra her friend, then there's Schell,
everybody's friend, and of course Mike,
he is the driver with a bad knee.
He revs

Slowly Drove He Knew No Haste Yet Still Runs This Race-
Those Impalas runs as shuttles car
Racing the mustangs through forest trees
Viroom, veroom, racing engines dust
Slowly vw beetles flutters fly far
Dart doubting datsons honey bees
Cobra shelby's viper dodge not trust
Racing metal objects within the breeze
Thunderbird hardly runs close flees,
Sunbeam tiger stripes running lights
Cougar mercury cliff jumps toward the stars
White Eagle kissel brights
We slowly drove he

Without Haste
The beauty of the stars
That shine brightly at night
Are dim in comparison
When you look at me right
Arms welcoming with a warm embrace
Make me love you without haste
My heart wants to shower you with love
Help heal your pain
Be your hearts shelter
From thunder lighting and rain
A heart that is cherished tried and true
Like

What Trump Had To Do With Much Haste
What Trump Had To Do with Much Haste
What Trump had to do with much haste,
Was continually create and make waste;
Procrasting,
Everlasting,
Result would be a horrible terrible taste.

Make Haste
Bland and empty, a worry breeds
Hides from sight the finest seeds
Only hope provides a way
Keeps the people stable day by day
Passions wonder making clear
A season for another try
Pass the willing way, ignore the passive stares
None attempt to ponder, consumed by other cares
May what glory desires to rise begin
Without an anchor holding bay
The feet make hast
