She really knows me -
divorce pending.

Despair not,
The wound is superficial
The arrow only grazing
Your death mask delayed
The pain is real
But the end,
far from us

Imprisoned by limitations
Delayed by fear
Bound by contracts
In servitude of the dollar
Grueling
Not fair
No acceptance
This is not life

Too long she'd delayed --
Since he was deathly afraid
Her last card she played:
Please, please Lord, Help him to see
I'm his if he'd just ask me

Early viewpoint set,
Made so by a high
opaque wall,
Yet spilling gold
And lighting the upper edge,
Twilight had a delayed start.

We all seem delayed.
We all dissuade.
We all seem afraid.
We all seem strayed.
And then in a decade,
We all evade.
And then in another decade,
We all fade.

A flawless ceremony,
and elegant reception,
followed by long honeymoon
delayed by snowfall.

Trudging down the same path
Present equals past
Red clay
My problems outlast
The runes have been cast
Astray
A delayed forecast
Emotion outcast
I failed

morning coffee delayed by an hour
we view as fortunate this earth life test
it lets us check if our mood has gone sour
such are adversities we overcome in light jest

The reporter was thrown for a loop,
Her intentions were "Just get the scoop"!
But the scoop was delayed,
Constipation betrayed-
Sadly, stuck in the shoot was the poop!

EVERY DEATH CHEATED, ESCAPED, PREVENTED OR AVOIDED IS A DEATH DELAYED.
PREPARE FOR DEATH TODAY
IT IS ONLY THEN YOU WON'T PERISH EVEN IF YOU DIE
IN ALL YOUR PLANS, ADD DEATH

A nine inning game
for some it brings fame
for others its too lame
and its only a game
so much being paid
some games are delayed
Its a summer game
Baseball is the name

We sure got walloped in the overnight hours
Snow piled up, covering all the pretty flowers
Spring's delayed
Until April or May
Tried but I failed using my super powers

Trump Never Delayed
We did discover that it was never delayed,
Trump for a fool by Putin had been played;
Lips pucker;
Real Sucker,
And into a moron again he had been made.

Trump A Big Baby
As big baby in balloon Trump was displayed;
Everyone around he troubled and dismayed;
Breath taker;
Trouble maker,
And infants back to parents he had delayed.

Another year's passed
In the blink of an eye
Time to take stock
Once more to ask
What, When and Why
What have I accomplished?
When will I do more?
Why have I delayed?
~ Wherefore?

Were Dismayed While Being Afraid
We put things off and them had delayed;
After seeing bad results were dismayed;
Must be sure,
Can endure;
Never did it again after becoming afraid.

they have awoken
but yet not spoken
ending dream still intact
but sensory they lack
visions not yet found
lazy distant muffled sounds
delayed feeling of sensation
awareness held for re-creation

Long life, lived in full, longing for death's impending embrace;
my fate's final freedom wavers on two fronts, like old Simeon's.
Departure's deep desire is delayed by a first great grandchild.

Days pass and I wish I could pour out my mind as a man
It has been delayed reluctantly of which decision to make
In fear of his reaction and his possible take
For culture demands man grace to woo and not woman

Endurance
Sat on the terrace
Waited for stars.
It was overcast
Delayed a bit longer.
Then it was morning
And rain fell.
Big drops
In each one
I saw
An echo of stars
Too tiny
To see
by the naked eye.

Finally walking with a cane to steady myself
Self-image delayed my usage but my need has swelled
Unsteadiness is the issue
So to avoid a miscue
Health is more important than image, who gives a hell

lilac trees in spring
overflowing with colours
cascading blossoms
cherry tree in bloom
full of flowering foliage
strong scent of perfume
early buds of spring
peeking out of the branches
delayed nest building
