Too Late

To make amends,
to soothe hurts with a vow,
the most opportune time,
my friend, is now.

Postponing kindness,
we hesitantly  wait.
Tomorrow, as always
comes too late.

Choked On a Jelly Bean

Once choked on a jelly bean, nearly met my maker Thankfully it popped out while calling the undertaker Postponing my departure It wasn't in the charter So I'll continue my notoriety as a PS troublemaker

No Rush

It needn't be done right away
It needn't be started today.
I'm not in a hurry,
there's no need to scurry;
postponing most tasks is okay.



"Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow."

Tomorrow Too Late

to forgive, to be forgiven,
to smoothen what is 
uneven,

to soothe deep hurts with a vow,
the right time is just 
right now.

easily, instantly we hate.
cautiously, fearfully 
we love.

postponing kindness, we wait.
but tomorrow comes 
too late!

The March

The March

The best-designed plans 
have the tendency 
to not materialize.
Plan B and plan C 
is the smoke of despair.
Overcoming obstacles, 
try a new plan again
that doesn´t include 
a third individual.
Postponing your journey 
until the sunlit days
turn into fog and 
a miasma of precipitation.
It rains on your parade
the triumph of the will
not yours 
has won.

Homeward

My spirits are crushing -
Anxiety, blushing,
Giving words to depression's dissertation.

And in activity, haunting -
The threat is there, taunting,
Praying for a moment's isolation.

Through the journeys I'm hiding -
An escape that I'm striving,
Postponing that self aggravation.

But with darkness, approaching -
Lost minutes to poaching,
Coming home, the last destination.

God

God Lost Track of Our Sins.
Else Why would He keep
Postponing the Judgement Day?
Or Is He too Scared to Judge
As He Loves Everyone Unbiased?

Sometimes, He seems to be
Unaware of his Own Laws.
He asks Us to Love Even
Our Enemies, but He
Never seems to Love the Devil.

I Wonder if He Ever Really
Read The Bible or Gita!
If He ever Decides to
Come down to Earth, I hope
He packs his Pollution Mask!

I got the runs

The juices are flowing
Out my butt it’s flowing
The stink surely is growing
The end is near i am hoping
The poos are floating
As they keep going
I begin to wonder will it ever stop exploding
For the pain has me moaning
On my phone diagnosing
The research is undergoing
My ignorance is showing
For I don’t know why my butt is unloading
The doctor call i continue postponing
As my juices stay a flowing…

The Way One Lives

The one who eats
doesn't do none than feed
his wolves pack...
The one who drinks,
quenches the thirst of his
inner rivers...
The one who dreams,
crosses his  inner world
 and arrives where
he doesn't wait...
One who thinks
travels in itself
cleaning up dirt
brightening dark
setting purposes...
He who shuts up, grinds
the unspoken words and
 forms crystals of ideas...
He who lives thus,
is always postponing death... !

R I P

I didn't get to know You, Milt, I now regret Postponing reading soup's delights with "not just yet". Drowned in a busy whirlpool, lost in mundane maze, Wish I followed Your work that set PS ablaze. Wish I engraved Your graceful gifts in my mind - Your poignant, subtle, warm-hearted take on mankind. I'll read Your poems as a consolation prize, To envision the world - You cherished - through Your eyes. January 1, 2023

Impoverishment

In a few days, the rent is due.
Maybe my landlord does not know,
Postponing the obvious blow,
Or, delaying my outdoor view.
Visitors spew residents who
Evict themselves, due to no dough,
Rather than let compassion show,
Instantly stepping in my shoe.
Sooner or later, he will come
Here, expecting to get the rent.
Meanwhile, I will keep playing dumb,
Each time I am given a hint.
Now, I really feel like a bum,
Trying to savor my last cent.

Every Bum In Our Slum

I know like a solvable sum
Every Samson’s riddle bum
Roaming our banal slum
Besides my tricky chum
With his insincere dum-dum–dum!
Not in his favor
His ear- assaulting chewing gum,
A thing to not savor
His disquieting rum…

If not slapping some drum,
Strangers asking where they came from,
Glowering at the seemingly dumb. 
Sometimes, touching tunes does hum 
But with a face decidedly glum
And not infrequently hitting his mum
For recklessly postponing his plum.

Free'D the Thought

No one should say "I Love"
until aware the resource
called for to overcome
without recourse.
For we are always in the wrong
in how we clumsily handle
being overly cautious, postponing delight
to prolong frustration through the night.
The bond of love is not an ought,
nor something taught,
and ever-so-much more
than fancied thought.
Our human nature must
come soon guileless
to that place of trust
and leaving us free to choose,
free'd the thought,
"Should I lose. . .?"

A New Arrival

A child is born - it's time to rejoice.
Let our Spirits be light as we lift up our voice.
A child so tender and full of life.
Protected from pain and this world's strife.

A mind free to learn and grow.
As our gifts to you we now bestow.
We look in your eyes and see a smile.
Postponing our worries for a little while.

The way you giggle and wiggle around.
Touches our heart where love does abound.
You're a treasure more precious than gold.
And truly a wondrous pleasure to hold!

The Kick It Ticket

not easily dissuaded
but recently persuaded
to oscillate in ways
living my lingering days

all bets are off
often I have scoffed
demeaning my demise
postponing I trivialize

I have a list to ask
prioritized by task
listings I'll conceive
or perhaps believe

would homelessness set me free 
reality does not deceive
or should I ponder yonder 
while continuing to wander

the bucket I shall kick it
for my Savior is the ticket
it’s become clear to me
it's Glory I need to see
