Long Time slips away Poems

I was in a love affair with art, which had lasted for most of my life,
As beauty graces bush tree and field, whenever hued blossoms are rife.

I started painting at a young age, and had...

Time On Myside

You may always think that you have forever or could be granted some extra time; how cleaver.

But no one knows what the future holds, or how much time you really have left to...

"The Honey Masquerade in Delta"



Love and Lust
ignores
ALL

The Others dissolve
who cares, Lovers don't - 
Lovers are in a world of their own

Lovers dance 
through shadows

Love and Lust
play their own game

Unafraid, they play
Day into Night
Night into Day

Burning...

Time slips away ever so quickly and silent
that its passing is never evident...
Until it is our time to leave and go on alone
to stand before God and His glorious throne.

But, if we take just a...

One hundred and one
Lifetimes seem a pittance
To seek and find
True enlightenment... 


Here I am once more
In a mortal garment
Adorned with an impulse
An echo of Your Call...


Still, I search
Not finding You
Because I look for You
In all...

Carpe diem.

Life can turn on a dime.
One moment you may be engrossed in a book and the next,
it's as though time...Time slips away,  taking with it your imagination and civility.
Time steals your identity. 
It fractures...

Hello mom, hello dad, aunt, uncle, grandma, grandpa, sister, brother…
Do you remember me? Remember when we danced in the rain? 
Played pranks on the neighbor next door?
Danny has another seashell for you, he wants to...

time slips away endlessly...time's not the worlds friend it's the enemy
tick tocking away riding dragons of destruction
never giving one single thought to Gods love
time slips away like sand in an hour glass

I remember yesterday
When I was young and free
The world was mine to conquer
And love was waiting for me
No dark clouds hovered o’er my head
I didn’t count the days
All was right in my little world
In so...

Tick tick tick Time slips away
When do I get to see you just name the day
I’ll mark it down so I don’t forget
But if I don’t see you they’ll be a regret 
Do you want...

Mom, Grandma, Nancy, Stephen, June
Laughing, talking, cooking past noon

Clean, fresh vanilla candle smell
Messy house means all is well

Christopher, David, Penny, Jan
My dog Short Stack; my biggest fan

Sweet caramel Hershey kiss
Sour lemon Lipton iced tea; Brisk

In the dim-lit corner of a forsaken cafe,
I dwell alone, as time slips away.
He strides in with an air of indifference,
Yet his gaze betrays no hint of penitence.
Briefly, our eyes entwine in sorrow,
A fleeting moment,...

In shadows deep, where secrets lie,
A warning whispers, heard nearby.
Through ancient woods and hallowed halls,
A tale unfolds, where danger calls.

Beware, oh wanderer, heed my rhyme,
For here unfolds a cautionary chime.
In nature's guise, enchantments sown,
Perils concealed,...

Time slips away as life does,
they give us enough clues
how to live and prosper;
many refuse the knowledge
they provide and put it aside...
is there the one who's clever?

Be aware that not living
life according to the commandments,
it's...

Here greets
Now glimpses;
This moment

Sacred glimpse
Haiku fragment;
In the moment

Watch what happens
Dewdrop on leaf;
Instant nirvana

Birdsong greeting
Balcony duet;
Dawn hymnal

Fruit vendor
Ready-to-eat;
Temptation thrills

Lovely beauty
Finesse charms;
Feisty sensations

Street corner 
Lunchtime recital;
Musical interlude

Long bank queue
Monday transacts;
Credit and debit

In a quick splurge
Time slips away;

Where does time go
When time drifts by so slow
How does one really know
How to stop this ongoing picture show
When days get lost in the haze
How is it possible to capture a rainbows craze

That brings our...

What is time?

Is there time  Is time perhaps in the wind?  casually in the wind?
Time passes by, time slips away
Time is in our hands, only to fly into the distance
If time flies by,...

Time slips away
In a brisk flow,
Ooze of nine days
Where writes don't show.


A spinal pain
From a wound old,
Comes yet again
As hurt unfolds.


A pain so deep
As backache sheers,
To disturb sleep
In moments clear.


A fatal step
In awkward turn,
Can set...

The mad masquerade is a vile and venomous and villianous thing
Masks in front hide bad beasts within...while wearing their smiles and their innocent 
grins
Thoughts and ideas turn into iniquity and sin
Held together with needles and...

When I was young,
I often clung,
to many little things.
I'd reach up high,
again retie,
my mama's apron strings.

I sometimes did,
what mom forbid,
although she'd make it clear.
Thoughts still linger.
I remember,
through each fleeting year.

Acquainted still,
her stories thrill,
with many left...

Surrounded by white,
so safe, so secure.

Trapped in a comfort
which I can't endure.

People rush in but
just as quick they go.

My heart feels great pain
but it does not show.

The line jumps up 
and down in sync.

The hours...
