The Red Tint

why do i want something to say?
i have enough other thoughts
to fritter away.
does not this day deserve
the moment of peace 
i've caught?
somewhere beneath the breeze
it reserves my bloody end 
for me,
one hopeful hint
before the red tint 
is all i see.


Diffrent Agenda

Mud cookies
        Swallowed,
        Under
        Punishing sun.  
        Cramp
        Dampness 
        Termination,
        New day has begun.
        Perplexed
        Deprived hunger,
        I fritter away
        Enclose fun.
       Unbalanced
       Ying 
              Yang
       The Devil has won.

Premium Member Deep In My Soul, Something's Not Right

It seems that I write and I write and I write
  and somehow that's not really alright
  to fritter away these precious moments
    Just when did I assume I'd the right...

I sense that it's become a stale habit
  a morbid ritual, fatalistic, hoary rite
Deep in my soul, I know something's not right
  that I write and I write and I write...

Premium Member It's Not the Years In Your Life, It's the Life In Your Years

Don’t waste your life with regretful tears. 
“It’s not the years in your life, 
It’s the life in your years”
Abraham Lincoln spoke these words,
Some of the wisest I’ve ever heard.

By these wise words I work or I play.
This day is as precious as one to come
And the longest has but a very brief stay.
Each is a part of the total sum
And much too important to fritter away.

Hai-ku by Meru

There great treasure lies,
but with it your very soul...
to fritter away!

Look into the eyes,
of all the people you've loved...
there you'll find your life!

Miracles exist,
when great love refuses to...
acknowledge the end!

All those things you love,
one day you will lose them all...
to see what matters!

You know where to go,
and who will be there waiting...
for their wayward son!
