A smile postponed 
a strange on face
a treachery to fellow men 
before God a sin...

My day's plans don't include pain
       or snow, sleet, or rain

     Maybe they could; but to what possible good
       Once postponed, what have I gained...

Down a catacomb

Trains halt in the underground;

I linger on the fourth stop

Time dusting roses --

Yet again your return postponed.

Bill swallowed two blue pills for his date
As he wanted to please his new mate
He then answered his phone
Told his date was postponed
As the swelling below made him faint...

Till now I do not know,
purity of human mind and actions.
Signature is printed mistake.
Oath is a verbal crucifixion.
Promise is a postponed lie.
Truth is the talk of cowards...

Passing by the midnight gloom 
Daylight had breathed its last breath
Memories are photographs 
Dawn of the sunset began
Postponed by the autumn moon
Imagine lover's lane strolls...

A lazy man's dialect
Langston Hughes' dream deferred
A place in the sun, postponed
Procrastination

One in many is an added colourant
queen bee and most desired, yet concordant
jokes can never be postponed
laughter comes in sets of drones
the heart picks one as stain then marks the blue pant....

The issues blur when you are in the twilight zone,
When you are not married or divorced, and life is postponed.
This too shall pass, as you discover new reasons to laugh,
Because now you are in the company of the “better half.”...

defied by hell
beside myself
i tried to tell
this lie so well.

if only my skill
postponed by will
was holy not ill
with lonely eyes still.

but this cursed sigh
cuts worse inside
so immersed i writhe
in this hearse i ride....

Had tickets for the Yankee game
But it has been postponed.
Relentless rain was forecast
Where the stadium is zoned.

The make-up date they gave us
Is the third week in September,
So we will have another shot – 
If only we remember!...

Postponed, are trials of today
for time tempts us to rather snore.
Stagnant, are the bucket lists,
'til death knocks on heaven's door.

Ever since I visited Hawaii as an adolescent, I am in awe of volanoes. The surf was, of course also impressive. I learnt much latter, that the two are connected ......

snow covers green grass
with slippery ice crystals
no time for flip-flops

Real slippery slope
Landing hard on my backside
Fighting back the tears

no cause for laughter
broken bones are not a joke
planned ski trip postponed

It starts, no clue
just symptoms

Unsure that's professionals,
postponed it multiplies,
it grows, it dominates.
no rubber, no eraser,
it is permanently written.

It is chronic

No solution just hope
filled with pills: that
resuscitate, by acquiring
time to live here
and there...

Hope deferred makes the heart heavy,
And justice postponed is justice denied;
Faith betrayed is faith undeserved,
For peace is peace if mutually desired.

Little is little if more is there,
And more is more if the giver is fair;
Excess is surplus if enough is known,
And it cannot be reaped that which was not sown!...

Present, Future, Past
Mind meanders in time, defined -
NOW postponed by gulping stale wine:
Three vats: Present, Future - then Past!
Eckhart Tolle broke free at last
When recycled thoughts turn us mad
We gaze and chant; go gospel glad
Knowing Past-Future is fake time
Freed in NOWNESS, we re-tool time...

Figments of one's imagination  transformations and inconsistent dreams postponed images of one's  mind's eye.
Creativeness and non realities  of one's
imagination a fairy tale, a made up story?
Passions and inquisitiveness into existence 
being bearing  and imaging it into actuality and
materalization figments of one's imagination...

HIATUS


            Engagement over.
            Then wedding date to get fixed.
            and Covid -outbreak.
            Marriage postponed for one year.
            Courtship to extend.

I saw a flash
Six billion electrons
So many horses in so little space
The charging calvary
Of light
In shape of forking tongue
Sizzling
The forehead
And cumulous-nimbus dark frown
And the hooves
Rolling far away
The last rider 
Pounding
On the scream of day.
It was then I understood
Charlemagne
Small as bead as sweat
Surrendered 
To postponed death....

The conversation we never finished
lies heavy on my mind,
as heavy as the cold stone
that covers the place you must sleep.
Our musings are forever now postponed.
why did the Fates not weave our love as one?
time has come and swiftly flown;
fate has cut the threads,
alabaster angels fold their wings and weep,
while stone cold marble marks eternal rest....
