Time; it is very precious.
The past affects the future but for now let's focus on the present.

You’re too late to apologize to me

For your foolish, senseless decision-making

Lips that produces an 
astonished smile, 
That can make the air still...

Silent Parade - Anacreontic Verse

He curses sunrise,
it starts his demise.

His mind's gone berserk,
as the pills don't...

Whatever happened to the twelve o ‘clock rambler,
nocturnal venturesome brushstroke sort,
they face whirlwind snowfall, freezing ice,
while others brazenly squirm,
not for stoic diarist this threadbare exit,

but ironclad ilk stubbornly remain,
eyes and ears...

A constant companion since way back when,
He's my savior.  Amen.
Because my heart he does engross,
I'm in His shadow we're so close.

Seen His works--His wonders unfurled.
I've beheld the magic...

I like to read people

Look around and read with curious eyes

Sometimes people are like open book

Few hide the pain

Few take any situation

In humor sense,

Few make their point 

Crisp like haiku,

Few rhyme well with...

Pull my chair somewhat close
Moving flames me engross
