No one can take them out to play

the deepest

of his contentment

When his head up in the air often pokes,
What we knew was it had been a hoax;
Were shocked and had so many strokes.

Her ex-husband had this to say,

Premium Member We will know later, when we land

Said the fool

Later Love

Love's like a scratched record
that plays over and over again
When you can feel the needle wear out
and you wait for it to end
And it does-
When you walk away years later

Later

He said some things.

Driving, going nowhere,
a sky crying
over a shrugging windshield.

If he had a penny for all her sad thoughts
he'd give a million dollars
not to hear them.

Do It Now Not Later

D-o it now not later, 
I-t's time to act right away; 
N-ever delay nor linger, 
A-s you sense the end of day.

Well I just gotta make you laugh
In my head there’s a whole lot’ stuff
If I let pass
It’ll only come out my ****

Man,

sooner or later would be called upon,

A very hard decision to take

Either deadly technology to keep

Or his own existence to forsake!
