In That Lonely Hour

In that lonely, quiet hour,
Alone with just your soul;
Guile has no place, nor power,
And pretence, none at all!

The Hour Is An Early One,

The hour is an early one,
I sit at my desk and I work.

Potential is in my they say, 
but why can't I get it to come out?

A Hour Ago

Must've been daylight savings time
For a hour ago
You loved me
You liked me
You used me
An hour ago you wasted my time
A hour ago

The definition of a hustle play
No point in crying over yesterday
Don't be a nickel looking for a dime
It's always peanut butter time

When the previous day disappears....
You thank God for this wonderful day,
And sleep will erase all your cares away.

a seren sight
and a bird thats never witnessed flight

To frighten spooks throughout the night
But there was an hitch
When a nasty witch
Made all our candy Kryptonite

A Second, To a Minute To An Hour Then a Day To a Week and a Month

Right this second I'm thinking about what the next minute will bring, yet again what about the next hour , yet alone the week , as well as the month?

Premium Member Cocktail Hour

The carefree invitation
belied the anxious creases
   in her gestures

Tense hors d'oeuvres
paraded past frozen smiles
   invisible the pale moon

Premium Member Waking Hour


birds sing 
on wing

big yawn 
at dawn 

sun's out
no doubt 

sunrise 
rubs eyes 

gets up
makes cup... 

of tea,
felt free!

An Hour Past Midnight

Thirteen stricks the clock.
Cob webs dance in the corner of darkness;
Cats are always on the prowl, and ghosts,
Still scare little kids in their dreams

Premium Member Comes the midnight hour

I wander and wander about.
I'm too tired to go to bed.
Distracted at every possible opportunity.

If it truly be the Witching Hour
  from witch’s brew we need not cower

Only where’s the timepiece so precise 
  it rejects fresh hemlock for garden spice

The Hour Late

Stepping off the ledge,
out of the fog
—I cast my fate

As time again dared,
all blinders off
—the hour late

Five p.m. is Happy Hour
We buy some drinks for others
Alcoholic fellowship has made us into brothers...
Back at work at nine a.m. ~ Whiskey's memory's sour

Empty moments'
Moments' in a glass
Once kept' in a glass
Of hours'
Where it has been kept
For hours'
Only to be released
In seconds'
By the hour'

The Midnight Hour

Sixteen hours ahead of time
you sleep in my tomorrow
a half a world apart
I loving you  – iambic rhyme
long pierced by Cupid’s arrow
another has your heart.

The Sun smiles a proud proprietor's grin
   as raindrops splash and sink in
to a thirsty earth whose crops and flowers
   drink the elixir in ~ It's Happy Hour!

Premium Member Rush Hour

Going to the town store,
during rush hour, a chore.
I ran to the door, fell.
Keys now lost on the floor,
but no keys could be found.
Oh, they're in my pocket!

The Hour Late

Stepping off the edge
  and into the fog,
  —I cast my fate

As time then dared
  all blinders off,
  —the hour late
