Premium Member I Would Be An Iris

I would be an Iris
dressed in ragged purple clothes
blooming by the side walk
where everybody goes

I would be an Iris
with petals richly hued
basking in the wonder
whenever I am viewed 

I would be an Iris
to stop you in your tracks
to hold you in a moment
where time does not elapse.

A brief elapse of time

Lost in the lexicon  of subtlegafe 
dumbconfonded at the the break of day
Watching the smiles from the well wishers
a mass of contradiction ensures
A vexation for the night
brief excursions to be stet
stretching time higher than the cornflowers
back bent the best he could do

Nights Pass

So many nights pass
So many days elapse 
Hollow minutes
Endless seconds travel beyond limits
Time's grip 
Hush my lonely lip
Words left behind 
With soul and mind 
Body move in a circle 
Mad and hysterical 
Reason in doubt 
Love is no where about 
If and but 
Are many and a lot 
Life without a start 
Fire with no spark

Waiting For You

I'm staring, focused on the clock
Tick tock tick tock
I wonder when
I'll wait till then

I know you're there, you never left
Yet, I'm bereft
Misery waits
At lonesome's gates

The seconds, minutes, hours elapse
Until, perhaps,
I hear your voice
And thus rejoice

Good Intentions
Written: by Miracle Man
1/25/2025

Procrastination often swaps a sure thing for perhaps,
our opportunity can disappear during times elapse.

On the back burner is where opportunity takes rest,
placed there by daydreamer’s not doing their best.

Armed with good intentions, to do at some later time,
but find good intentions weren’t worth a thin dime.

Peeps of Chum

To carry on the affection ,
     Came by enemy's appreciation.
And deed to afford , 
      To measure the ford.
Who take cleansing ablution of volley,
      For making them holy.
Now making us delight ,
      Who never get them in sight.
Now what? The life get commotion,
      Getting always inanimation emotion.
Fantasy, fantasy deviates aisle in a day,
      Still unacquainted! Whence elapse in a dark day.

Premium Member Life Experiences

Life Experiences Written: by Miracle Man 6/10/2017 Life experiences frequently equate to sage, And our days, once past, can’t be erased. While some attain wisdom derived from age, Others see years elapse while being debased. Though earthly days be enumerated as sand, Each day allotted was through God’s grace. He holds microscopic moments in his hand, And affords us choice of an afterlife place;

Out of Cluck

In my kitchen, an old-fashioned timer
Keeps track of my coffee pot’s perk.
I wind it and eight minutes later,
The pot has completed its work.

The timer is shaped like a chicken;
It ticks as the minutes elapse,
Then rings to announce its completion,
Technology prior to apps.

Yet this morning, my chicken stopped tickin’;
Its mechanics have chirped its last cluck,
So I kept a close watch on my coffee - 
Guess Alexa would never get stuck!

See You Soon

Like a painting.
Almost the same thing,
Except not so flat.
And more than that-
Blooming effortlessly.
As if by destiny.
But its true fate,
Is for its beauty to abate.
That is what happens to an eclipse.
After a moment, time will elapse.
Colors that move on.
Feels like waking up at dawn.
This afternoon,
Is not full of doom.
Just a moment of shade.
Harkening a halo of jade.
Thank you sun, thank you moon.
We hope to see another show soon!

The Light Truth

Morning heartaches,
I don't want to awake,  
Could sleep all day long,
Only if I had no worries.

Is it soo dramatic,
Or they play harder on me ,
Would someone breath in, 
I can't help the aching moments.

Oohs! You will come on summer, we should try to pass through, 
Has your promises  ever Elapse,
They wouldn't be that cruel. 

Am a person of Persia, 
Resilient my pleasure, 
Fighting outs for giants,
Till I know I should stop.

My Red Rose

Let destiny create a distance... 
Firestorm of roses will set an inferno...
Arrow goading the scented sceneries. 

Maniac in love, heartlands of homophiles.
Lovely heart cradled in my lover's arms... 

Glass dome saving the last petal...
Canvass the soil for a sepal... 

Eclipse eyes yearning forever this memory, 
Century of love marking romantique history,
Chancery charming this unsettled elapse... 

Bowing on the vow of your untangled fragrance, 
Heart on your heart always.
