Did Determine About Delay

Did Determine About Delay

What they did determine about the delay,
As usual was never done their own way;
Must admit,
No benefit;
Regardless what happened had to pay.

May Say Today With No Delay

May Say Today With No Delay

Many things I do want to say today;
What I hope is they may be okay;
Will never misuse,
With perfect excuse;
This very instant without any delay.

A Slight Delay

The brakes squeak
and the car hisses…..
a puncture

The spare tyre replaced
the engine revs again
the journey continues.

Premium Member the spell of a pregnant pause

time passes, hands clasped,
afraid of what might happen,
clench tight on what's been.

eyes stare unblinking,
lest the sheer weight of mere thought,
reveals happenstance.

ears distracted dwell
on mantra seance murmurs
when will never end?

I've lived so long here
yet when time for me to leave
everything seems new

I've missed the sun
moon, stars, clouds, the very sky
only lone glance left

nothing to choose now
just bid bye and go away
someone else will stay

Premium Member A Short Delay

Wait for the rain to die
Wait,for the tears to dry

Wait for the mist to go
Wait,for trust to flow

Wait for anger to cool
Wait,for love to rule

Wait for scars to heal
Wait,as forgiveness heals

Wait on without fear
Wait,as comfort draws near

Wait for passion's call
Wait,and stand tall

Delay decay
Deem death defiant
Dance dreamy daze


Relay replay
Risk rude reply
Rule ripples rough


Delay display
Dance designs dream
Dust dazzles drift


Portray prelude
Prime petty poise
Please puny pride


Display delay
Doom dapples draft
Dream dusty dirt

Delay Is As Murderous

For what he weakly fought 
Others eagerly sought
And one hurriedly bought,
His dreams ending in naught:
Getting away, never caught
And to him grief brought…

Of course, he can’t go to court: 
If he wished drown by a seaport:
The lesson to learn: “Hold your fort…

Just like wild animals – Dangerous
Delay is as murderous…

Premium Member Mend The Fences

Mend the fences they will say, give forgiveness as you pray. Is there a smile in the suns bright ray? Maybe I do not want a pretty flower bouquet. I think you should be on your way, fly out of my life like a blue jay. I do not want to mend this fence today, you bring me clouds of gray. I want only a happy day, make it fast with no delay

Premium Member I Do Need Your Blessings

While I'm waiting
You always come with delay
While I'm overwhelmed with work
You always pass by hastefully
While I'm suffering
You always linger around
While I'm enjoying
You always slip away quietly
I can't do anything to stop you
And so, time, I do need your blessings
Just like without any blessings from the Almighty
Man's life will become a mess

Never Delay To Obey

M-ake it now, don't delay, 
A-lways walk by the Lord's guide; 
R-ight path or fold is shown, 
E-veryone must enter 
I-nside. 

T-hursday sixth of April 
O-pens the morn with light; 
L-et the new dawn break, 
E-arly beacon is burning bright. 
N-ever stop nor cease 
T-o follow God all the way; 
I-t's time to be submissive, 
N-ever delay to 
O-bey.

Dont Join the Delay Train

You all should know my aim:
To hit the lasting fame.
I wasn’t made a lame, 
Not, at present, Old Dame,
And great prizes could claim…

Men who to Peaks lay claim
Forget not strength would wane:
The once fleshy turns “Cane”
Exciting bubbles ‘Pain’,
Much labour “Little Gain”
The Sane “A bit insane”:
Soon, Towing Van with Crane…

Not washed away by Rain
Here, there or in Bahrain.
The whole shame, the whole Stain…

Don’t join The Delay Train.

Why Delay

Since He is always listening
With tender love and care
Since ceaseless grace He’s offering
In pain, He’s always there

Since He is always powerful
To save, and heal, and free
Since He gives hope so wonderful
And plants His peace in me

Why delay ’til strength is gone
To pray for help and might?
Why delay ’til all is wrong
To pray for joy and light?

Why not seek and trust my King?
I fail when I’m alone
Why do I delay to bring
My plea before His throne?

Premium Member Delay of a Bright Autumn Sun-

Young twilight brightly shines autumn Brightly shun shines the brazen sun It be Autumns morn temperance Sparkling dawn the dawns autumn Brushing sword moonlit rises Autumn plate near midnight darkness Darkness sits on horizon skies Beyond my vision evening ties Awaits Autumn's new sunrise so Yonder light ever more brightly Signs so blindly me as summer Just as a noonday summers beam
