Don't make your life all about other person
Leave a chapter for your own life story

Pave instead your right way to glory

A chocolate, vanilla-
sweet kiss on the tongue. 
Rich icing between layers.
For celebrations,
or just a sweet treat.

Life Is Too Short To Be Wasted By Want of Action

Sometimes you feel without aim
Yet all the time want your name 
To bear moment and some fame
It feels awful to be game
To fate’s arrow that lands lame
And wants you just to be tame
Inaction’s an evil maim

Listen to poem:
getting
more and more
protective
particular 
and selective
with my time

truth is
i refuse
to have others decide
how to squander 
what I have left

life is too short
to waste

Life Is What You Want It

Greet a smile 
To one you hate
Tears turn to joy.

Look not beyond
Focus what's reach
Start a step.

Reach what is real
Live with real joy
Life is too short.

No one can help
If you should live
A humdrum life.

Some say life is too short -- and I wish mine was taller but can we stritch it enough,
 and stay fit enough to enjoy him?
Yes, I call life a "him", 
it surley can't be a her,
Its beyond understanding, and can change with a whim...

Freed

Some words do this
like life is too short
others like deathis coming to one and all of us
some say it may even enter the earth itself
so make it count today
as  we may be returned to the veryhell
we escaped from a thousand years ago.

All Things Learned

At the crux of knowledge 
There lies the crest of poetry
And at the peak of wisdom,
The climax of understanding
Sve stvari naucio

But life is too short
And knowledge so vast
Foot prints in the sands
As time breezes by
This journey won't end...

Faithful

In the short time I loved you,
and in all the years that followed,
you stayed as faithful
as any long-term memory.
Those swift years were life-long.
dogs and cats long.
We humans just keep on going,
yet life is too short
for those kind of moments.

1.  To think and feel and live like a lowlife or a criminal in many ways is the only thing that gives one humanity and maybe the only thing that will save humanity (to a large extent).    2.   To those who despair:   Life is too short to make it too short.

Mended Lines

Please forgive me, I forgive you
Let's start a new, let's forget the bitterness 
Let's wipe the stains, let's make the tint clear
I want to make it right, let's make it right
Life is too short, to go on in life with those sores
Am glad we've had this talk, together we can begin a new better journey
Form: Verse

Forgiveness

The sword of fury stabs us in the back,
Sparking the fire by resentment. 

Flames ignite into a huge grudge,
With hatred burning in our eyes.

If a person repents their past sins,
Eradicate the arson of fueled anger.

Life is too short to scorch in rage,
A blaze that depletes the quality of life.

Life Is Too Short

Life is too short
to sail away
to empty shores
and silent spaces.
And easy winds
bring memories so clear.
Don't look into 
too many angry faces
and of fear.
Too many hours lost
in vain and unsuccessful races.
And pictures from the past 
come to your mind
of people you once met
and sheer forgotten places.

Make The Most Of Your Life

Life is too short
Living for yourself is not enough
Time is not enough to please others
Make the most out of it
Every good deeds counts for you
For in the days of reckoning
No fear on conscience take place
No doubts instilling the mind
No reasons to not be fine and uneasy
Life is smiling what's beyond in the yonder.

~An Smile~
 (Triple Senryu)



Everyday just smile
Remember life is too short
So make it worthwhile

An smile is so nice
Brings sunshine to anyone
It's not hard to smile

Even heart be sad
Smiling can open a door
Spread sunshine in hearts

Life Is Too Short

Life is too short

To be depressed

To be discontented

To be faithless

To be fake

To be hateful

To be hopeless

To be isolated

To be lonesome

To be loveless

To be miserable

To be selfish

To be unfaithful

To be unhappy

To be untruthful

So be the opposite of all these things, 

Life is too short

Premium Member -NEGATIVES - POTD

Sometimes you need to step back
Even walk away
Good things always come to an end
So they say ….

When negatives enter your life
That do not bring you joy
Step back , distance yourself
Before your soul it destroys

Perhaps take time to revaluate
Refresh, clear your mind
For life is too short for negatives
So to yourself be kind
