Listen to poem:
Be that as it may, son
when it is all said and done
and soliloquy is spun,
serendipity 'tis not done
it's only just begun.

Daydreaming

my reality
brightened  by thoughts of eden
just a delusion.

lost in reverie
losing real concentration
only just a dream.

Memory Of Grand Teton

Touching beauty
if just for an instant
if caught by its magic
— if only just once

For centuries, she would be beguile
the whole world with her famous smile,
but I couldn't make her grin (or laugh) -
well, only just a half.

George Seurat died too young
his pointillist angle had only just begun
to art,the diagonal&horizontal did bring
but the vertical however was never his thing

Dawn

The dawn chorus has just begun,
And up out of bed jumps my darling son,
“Get up my Dad, come and play”,
But I‘ve only just got to bed,
It can’t already be day!

I don't have long to make my point
Try as I must
You've only given me six lines
And we've only just met
I'll give my words to trust
That a just judge I will get

      have you only just woken

Death

Death has no hold on me
For am only asleep for but awhile
I have only slipped into the valley of rest
To rise again to be at my best
For this life is only just a test.

In this poem, there lies a fox -
but he's only just two shoes and socks. 
Will you be the one 
to find a simile to stun, 
or will you open up the door
and find a metaphor?

Premium Member Rush Hour

Quickly grabbed my briefcase 
My brolly fought the rain 
I sped to the station
Only just caught my train
Bang on nine… my boss rants
You’re here… but where’s your pants?

I Was Too Busy Winking

I was too busy winking
To see you with one eye
Must not have been that important
If you couldn’t stop
For only just one second
And let me see with both eyes
Opening them up

Untitled

Since I met you, my days seem to move faster
Even though every minute I'm with you
my time stands still
In your eyes the world disappears
I'm whole, if only just for a moment

Enough Said

I had plenty to say but I couldn't say anything,
I had plenty to ask but the words wouldn't come out,
The silence was so awful just so deafening,
And the obvious was never said only just thought.

The Wire

The wire's wound tight, and so taut 'round my neck.
And I know, 'less it snaps, I will soon lose my breath.
But my body and mind an innumerable wreck,
I can only just smile at the prospect of death.

Sunrise, Sunset

sunrise, sunset
dawn and dusk
a starry net
visible, but only just
ruby- orange
fades to blue
begins to change
right on cue
dawn begins
yesterday is the past
dusk ends
reminds us that it never lasts

Sadness

sadness reaches here, yet some, and i feel the hurt right here, the string of fate , cut early or late, but Gods work is done, and life says hurry up wait, cos its only just begun.... Don

Karen Carpenter

It’s only just begun
Desperate family
The Carpenters were fun
Closer to perfection
Like honey on your sleeve
They stuck together well
So happy we believed
Until it crumbled down
Her heart gave in so young

Dreams

Close your eyes

Forget the lies

Loose your fury

Drop your worry

Journey far away

Leave today

To where you belong 

Where there is no wrong

But as real as it seems

Its only just your dreams

Richard Parkes Bonnington was an artistic ace
of small scale picturesque place*
Dying of TB far too young
his career having only just begun

Charge It

I only just begun to charge
Impulsive buys are way too large
My credit card sighs
While bankbook cries
My pay cheque I need to enlarge


*So many things to buy since I bought a house, but I really am a wise shopper : )
