The wound is superficial 
The arrow only grazing 

Your death mask delayed

The pain is real
But the end,

Imprisoned by limitations
Delayed by fear
Bound by contracts
In servitude of the dollar

Not fair
No acceptance
This is not life...

Since he was deathly afraid
Her last card she played:

I'm his if he'd just ask me...

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

The Faded Family
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....

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...

Her intentions were "Just get the scoop"!

Constipation betrayed-
Sadly, stuck in the shoot was the poop!...

A Summer Game
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...

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
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.
