Dear darling dove--
Dare drinking, dancing
Decisively delaying death's deal......

Before I end things
I want to bring
A hymn of sayings
I wish to sing

My veins I'm praying 
Not open wide
For much delaying
The sue inside...

I’ll get to the pills with a twist
The scripts filled by my pharmacist
If there’s a hiccup
Delaying the pick-up
Watch out as I might just get pissed

Indecision makes
Put on hold the decisions
That need to be made
Postergating the actions 
Delaying the life deserved

every believer on earth
learn carpentry skills
and build a long ladder
to climb to heaven
prayers and fasting
are delaying tactics
with long rough routes...

Curiosity won't kill you; that's just an old saying.
Admiring eyes observe you exploring and playing.
Time for supper and cuddling, with no further delaying....

We are sort of short-sighted
when looking at the  life we live .
That's why we stumbled in time,
delaying progress itself...
Clogging up our mission,
of development... !...

COMMAND

What I say, you treat as a real order
Not a suggestion nor a request
No delaying nor any quibble
A task that one must obey
Not a choice, but duty
Complete it in time
I’ll be watching
Your response
So start
Now!...

Surrounded in primeval wood,
In awe of fern, and flower--
I attempted to delay the night
By lengthening the hour.

That day might last a minute more,
Till my pondering was done--
Delaying, and for beauty's sake,
The setting of the sun....

Afraid to ask
Afraid to cast
Afraid to hear
Afraid of jeer

Fear is delaying truth
Fear is growing from youth
Fear is reliving the past
Fear is irrational typecast

Asking diffuses fear
Talking reduces veering
Trying clears fear
Chose to steer
...

gate
level, fixtureless 
owing thrilling curtailing
snippet, delusion, lodge, sheath.
splitting, carrying, delaying.
askew, clockwise

My Mind Started Playing

Started dancing without any delaying
Also started swinging and swaying
Best behavior I had been in
And when we did dance again
With my mind she started playing,

Like it or not, dear 
God will surprise some haters 
About your big rise. 

He is ready to 
Appoint you on the top pic 
Without delaying ... friend.

Heavenly golden 
Box will be opened soon dear...

REMINISCE


Although the realm is hush,
Encasing with dark haze,
Melancholy visage ubiquitously,
Delaying for the cracking of doleful.
Reminisce HE has elevate.

REMINISCE
Keep your eye to the price,
Trials may press you,
Graffed yourself in,
A snare in the world, but
Reminisce HE has elevate....

Softly the rain drops fall
Delaying the wetting game
Tricked I may be 
Oh that’s a shame
Beautiful I say it is
And I praise the mighty rain
Oh I brought no umbrella with me
And I am the one to blame
But its rain and rains
Relentlessly 
Until I’m fully flooded
Comes it does for me 
Until I’m clod blooded??...

Dreams are born in the womb
borne in mind beyond birth.
Infantile fantasies
spur kicks within her,
spawning daydreams
of the birth to be.
Musings of motherhood:
things she would
do; things she must do;
impossible things come true
in dreams.
Then the bubble burst,
reality arrived
delaying those dreams for another day....

On the wedding
The Bishop co-ordinating
Called in the groom
Only awaiting the bride
Hymns going up in the air
Half hour passed
And yet she is unarrived
"What is delaying you?"
The groom yelled at the Bishop
"Your bride isn't here"
With a dimple from the groom's cheek
Loke side way at his bride
"He has long arrived
I am gay"

Standing here
watching the gold of a greying sunset
It seems to strain a proven tale
already too hard to bear
Gold ringed with greys
is not natural
Grey delaying darkness 
is simply illusion
Colours are not meant to stray,
Illusions to live
Gold is meant to stay true
for each day it conjures
Grey to restore
Together,
prediction they relate...

Come out from behind that

distant cloud, don't be so

bashful, we won't hurt you.

Spring flowers delaying

their growth without

your light to shine on them.

Gardens having hissy fits,

without your heat to

dry up the water that

the rain sent.

So don't be bashful, or shy

come on out and shine for us

once again.

The days become
a battle has won
elated, surprisingly sounded
begun
a war so deep
in the night hours
sleep, now awakened
kneeling, praying
not delaying
Victorious overrides
the will and strength to survive
humbled and meek
rise above
precious genuine love
Victorious.

The joyful hours
Victorious
Moments of silence
A great result ending
A newer beginning
Victorious....

So very far I've traveled
To this most peculiar home--
Where blindly I have wandered,
As one sightless tends to roam.
But I have been too long away,
For all there is to see--
And I have even thought to stay,
Although elsewhere I must be.
And I would climb a beam of light
Were it not for this, "the dance."
Delaying thus, my homeward flight,
For what mortals call, "Romance!"

Trotting along;fighting death – 
with delaying techniques.
Chemo had failed.

Weeping Ashoka, how do I
name you differently ?
I may not see you again.

I am hurt, very badly.
Absolutely rooted, firmly
in autumn. My leaves were falling.

Pushing back the interface 
between smiles and tears;
the trespasser goes to moon.

It was traditional,
garlanding the poet-
who had killed his muse.
