Sometimes,
I think of Emily Dickinson,
and how she pressed on,
writing...
word after word,
her eye affliction
put on the back burner,
her need for reclusiveness
an ace in the hole,
for mastering the art of a poet,
because she "could not stop for death,"
her life became
a drop of glistening water in the sun
as she leaned in
"toward eternity."
Listen to poem:
Comfort belies not upfront, where the bright glare blinds,
But in the glowing lingering embers of the afterglow.
In the afterburner of the karaoke sing-along song.
Humming the back-story concoction of memories
Translucent and phosphorescent.
Tarrying perchance, in a happenstance dance,
A wake, lingering long, along into the night
On the back-burner, dimmer set to simmer.
The Moment Is Now

It seems opportunity rarely knocks at a favorable time
and sometimes only knocks but once.
Burned into each memory is such a time,
when opportunity perhaps knocked,
and we answered not the door.
We put something temporarily on the back burner,
to await a more favorable time,
which likely never came.
Good Intentions

Procrastination often swaps a sure thing for perhaps,
our opportunity can disappear during times elapse.
On the back burner is where opportunity takes rest,
placed there by daydreamer’s not doing their best.
Armed with good intentions, to do at some later time,
but find good intentions weren’t worth a thin dime.

Just as thoughts seldom reach the ears of another,
complacency will shy away from new things.
Procrastination causes death to things started,
and a don’t care attitude is OK with the dings.
We place “too busy” items on the back burner,
with intent of finishing when time’s not in flight.
But there most die, lacking needed attention,
they die a slow death because our desire is slight.
Every single day
I climb out of my hole
Pretend that every thing is ok
When I just want to crawl back into it
Time, money ,a roof ,food
All those things forgotten because life takes hold.I always feel obligated and give too much.Only on someone mind when needed because she never says no.No invite to to parks or shows,just left inside the gilded cage till needed to cash in.when all dried out left to struggle with her own self loathing and abandoned and always on the back burner.
Procrastination

We often procrastinate because we’ve grown lazy,
and delay a thing’s start until it never gets done.
Sometimes we forget because our mind is age hazy,
and when all else fails we point a finger at someone.
Once on the “back burner”, a thing rests in place,
awaiting its time it becomes an overlooked chore.
Because unpleasant things we don’t readily embrace,
our minds gravitate toward cozier things to explore.
