Premium Member Men really are from Mars

he warns he's not a mind reader
as the wiles of my silent treatment
fall by the wayside wasted and utterly forlorn

Premium Member Fault Lines of a Life

We drift, unaware—
years merge into moments,
promises fall by the wayside, collect dust.

If we could backtrack every decision,
each fault line of our days,
would we discover we really lived
or just shuffled in place?

Don'T Fall By the Wayside

D-on't fall by the wayside, 
I-n spite of the rugged wind; 
A-im to reach your goal, 
N-ever let your ardor
E-nd.

F-all not by the wayside, 
L-et not your fervor fail; 
O-n the twenty-sixth of August, 
R-ow your boat and sail.
E-ven though it's isn't easy to go against the tide; 
S-tay focused to emerge winner, don't fall by the wayside.
Form: Acrostic

The Core

At the core, distractions fall by the wayside and nature takes the stage. The face of duality blurs, while hearts integrate. Fear is confronted with softness, and pain replaced with ease. The mind freed from conditioning, the ego set ablaze. Intuition leads to freedom, while doubt lays to rest. Purpose calls for a hearing; it is time to take our place.

Premium Member Different Hearts, Beat On Different Strings

How different we are
And in the way we act
In love and romance
A heart filled pact
 
It can start out so good
To a thunderous applause
And fall by the wayside
Just because
 
Corners are turned
Sometimes we go the same way
And sometimes round the same corner
We can go slightly astray
 
At the start of it all 
To the table we bring
But somewhere along the road
Different hearts, beat on different strings

Premium Member As You Grow Older

As you grow older, they fade into oblivion 
The friends you once revered, 
The company you once adored, 
Like flowers, they fade and fall by the wayside
You go through life alone 
And no one cares to know
Your pains they cannot share 
And the trouble they cannot feel
As you grow older, 
Their motives become clearer 
Yesterday's fondness dissipates 
Time has conquered their love 
And you are left alone 
With memories of lies 
The lie of friendship 
Mocked by time
