Here and Now

We can't visit the future 
We cannot revisit our past. 
Life is this present moment. 
Which vanishes 
Within the blink of an eye.

the secrets we share, none may know
unless heart be pure and aglow
dwelling in the present moment
poised in the void in stillness slow

Clock

The clock, Is like an enemy.
Stealing, Your present moment.
Always thinking, About time, Past and future. Instead of enjoying, The Right Now.


The Power of Now

time in the past
and time in the future
in now there is no doubt

time spent outside
is a reminder to be within
being within helps out
in now there is no doubt

Premium Member Memories, Past and Present

But two things,
Touch the present moment life brings.
Moments having succumbed to time,
That lie in slumber,
And visionary moments, unborn,
Of which God alone has number.

Those Who Write

those who take time write 
the past of present moment
on contract and for pleasure
entertain ears of the powerful
betray the spirit of the masses
imprison intellect of geniuses

In this present moment...how are you?

Beyond today..where are you?

Premium Member Balls

We think of time as a ball 
Slipping away from us.
We should not think of 
Time at all.  
We should think of nothing
But the present moment.
It is only then that 
We are holding the ball.

Moment

What you perceive is soon lost
    as soon as the silence blinks
    only memory still stirs ...
    what was the bid captured
     present moment -past
    enter the windows of abysses.
    labyrinths.... !

Moment Is Life

Only when mind is in the present moment, 
you actually live that moment, 
otherwise it's a life of illusion, 
akin to a life not lived at all.

Absolution Within

The intrinsic beauty
  of the present moment

Exploding our consciousness
  rewriting the hymn

Outracing the words
  to an epiphany of reflection

Outpacing all time
  —absolution within

Life's Time Line

present moment 
brings with it 
levels of stress
never wanted
can't we just 
fast forward to 
the future when 
this entire event 
has been forgotten
waiting is the worst 
thing about transition
periods within in life's
time line
Form: Lyric

Premium Member Walking Under the Rain

A
Stroll
Under 
The rain with
A black umbrella 
Uplift the senses evoking
Great picture of memories buried as a treasure 
Until you return to the present moment and realize that you were just dreaming

visions intermingle with enigmatic thoughts...
A transient sense of the present moment

Red Stains of Love

Covered with the red stains of love,
I flee the scene,
Like a scared dove,
That pretends to be white,
Since it's already covered with red,
Never able to see the light,
Of day,
So I must lay,
Until this day come to an end,
Because at this present moment,
I'm a wanted man.

Premium Member Handing You the Keys

All i can 
offer you darling
is a full heart
unlocking with
one token 
of how i feel

As beautiful

Keep it safe inside
As it breaks easily
in my present moment

our beautiful future

My Spirit Zero-Sum

Am I the Poet that I used to be,
  or the Poet of tomorrow

Am I the Poet of this present moment,
  to own or then to borrow

Am I the Poet that I used to be,
  or the one I will become

Are my words fresh made or from seasons past,
—my spirit zero-sum
