Pray Under Dome

All prayed under a dome
As per faith and norms
Not now but at home 
Nothing by this gone
As the one knows all formed!


Fearful Nights

Falling of dark 
Folding a fear in me
Brings rain if it’s 
Increasing by another fold
My fear
Not now
But when I was small

Lore

Write of Then and When,
Not Now;
Allow
Tales of god-like men.

Songs of wandering
Not facts,
But acts
Of some fable king.

The Little Knot

Scraggy little knot I know not what you are !
Are you not now known as a reef or square knot or not ? 
No sorry I’m a Frayed Knot !

Premium Member Her Epitaph

It matters not, now, this frantic din
Or what could be false, or true
For when I go, Heaven will let me in
Because I was loved by you

Repetition Is Not Truth

A once esteemed party was fain
To  cry ‘Racist!’ again and again
Not now and again
But NOW and AGAIN
Til it made neural paths in their brain

Premium Member Look Up :Heads

You cry,but bring
no mournful look;
      Will not My brook
cool your brow?
      Will not My joy
pour out from you..
       tomorrow..if not now!

Premium Member End of An Era

A time-honored system of old
Pegged cold cash to ounces of gold
But that’s not now true
Strong dollars are through    
The treasure at Fort Knox is mold

mesmerizing
the playful glitter
of ondulating waves
the sun beckons
come and play ~
there may not be another day

Passing of the Years

The sixties are
    over
The 90's are here
  Let's head out for an 
ice cold beer
Then......
The 90's are over 
    it's 2010  
The man said
 If not now when?

Premium Member Nostalgia

a word unsaid,
the face,long dead,
a time..not now
the place..not here-

recalled with a tear,
word
        face
               time
                       place

Fall Isn'T Done

A carpet of orange dresses the ground,
trees growing bare as leaves flitter down,
nip in the air tells of stark days to come,
but not now at least, the Fall isn’t done.

Onward Down

I've been up
I've been down
but mostly Dreamlike sleepiness
clouds of black
clouds of blue
I saw the tree dead and leafless
I could Smile
I could Laugh
Not now but for thousand Years

Daybreak

The day is dawning, ashamed
I wake up and kiss closely her lips
hiding behind the horizon
She gives me then an enticing smile:
Thank you, honey
but not now...
I have to go working first.

Strings

Pulling my strings
Making me dance
Tugging on my emotions
All for fun
For your amusement
I am your puppet 
Don't like anything with strings
Not now
Not ever
But, you have got a hold of me tight

Yantrika present

Saya meri baiti hai Chandrakanta aapki maala have fun.....?
Time yantra tantra mantra
Not my sister sorry.
.. just a human body

Premium Member corpulent pink frog hops by

a corpulent pink frog hopped past chasing a fly
they were soon joined by a pink and yellow butterfly
Not now! Said Sir Chucky, an amateur magician.
I am trying to learn a trick shown to me by an electrician.

Romadness

When the seasons change,
We'll meet again, if not now
in the wilting flower of our youth,
then in our dreams,
or the grip of madness,
when the soul escapes 
like a whisper
from the cracks in-between our 
teeth.
