Now And Then Poems - Poems about Now And Then

Between now and then, a timeless longing is born, A place where the heart sings its straight lines, Neither today nor tomorrow, just a suspended moment, A secret bridge between life and death, unengaged. In the veil of silence, red quietness hides, A place where presence or absence is but a shadow, I wish to be swallowed by space, yet not...

Yesterday, I saw a girl That looked like you. It took my breath away. I wanted to say To her; What I long to say to you. I almost said it aloud; I love you. A complete stranger. I just stared at her. Later, In a coffee shop, On campus, I saw a young girl That reminded me So much, of you. Her hair, her eyes, Brown, And beautiful. The way she...

A friend sat there forty years past - in that chair. And thirty years, and twenty. Was here, sitting there - in that chair. Was then - and five years ago. Even one. Just a month? A week?

I love my children dearly, And I am blessed so surely, With memories of them for eternity. But every now and then, I wish they would let me use my own pen, For adventures to plan, Without them seeing the need for use of a different pen, Full of ink and wisdom that is still young to upset my plan. I Love...

Think thrice before any action To avoid the happening of friction When you do the final selection You must get perfect satisfaction Decide not in the last minute Do not ponderously just sit Try to practice to keep fit Success is sweet, get it Dreaming will not get great glory Inaction makes you feel sorry Carry on work without any hurry Never worry as it is...
