I grow sands with you;
More than time slip by...a kiss—
From my world's ocean....

cradle this moment
don’t let the minutes slip by
enjoy your blessings 

worry will be there
it is part of life’s journey
call its bluff sometimes

If we choose to share our love and life with someone
whether it be a man and woman, 
two women 
or two men…
may we be blessed as the year slip by
to fall in love with that person…
over…and over…again

Those nightly tears,
Streaming down cheeks
Glimmer in the moonlight

For the day restarts
As the moon shines
And those tears slip by

Moonlit tears
In a vast sky of stars
Are a refuge for a troubled heart...

Life is today
Here and now
In this moment
Savor each second
Experience every opportunity
Be in the present
Don’t let it slip by
Without you in it
It will go with and without you
Catch it
It won’t be back again
Yours...

looking at myself
again
looks like you
three thousand
images of you
i stand
alone
wondering about you
as i 
slip by insects
and butterflies
with no milk
for the butter
i love you
but only in
mirror images...

The rain, it rains.
The snow, it snows.
Each season comes;
Each season goes.

The pages turn,
The years slip by,
While people live
And people die.

It’s never changed
And never will,
Yet poets do
Describe it, still....

The trains motion
carries me along
into
thoughts of you.

Glimpses of the
past rush by
and
impress me
with their poise.

Distant and faded
vague visions
of fervent times
with you
slip by.

Memories slip by
like a breeze
The heart 
Aches 
For in the far distance 
of the soul
There’s a face haunting 
it's core
A moment of warmth
A simple gesture
Unforgettable 
A lifetime of devotion 
To one heart 
Upon reflection 
Unregrettable

Plussed and flummoxed,
The hundred sheep.
As I tossed and turned
In my sleep.
They must wonder
If crafty wolf
O'er the fence with them
Did leap!
As I counted
Droopy-eyed,
I must've let a one
Slip by!
Loud the bleat
Of troubled sheep
And I tossed and turned
In my sleep....

You watch the river pass you by 
Wishing that small sail boat would  glide by
Remembering  fun filled days you spent  foating by
Carefree sailing as your  days of youth slip  by
a single rose is launched today , one last sweet goodbye .



pretty sure nothing like but had a go lol

As days get shorter 
in the spool of a life 
we need to accept 
all...that life brings 
So live your worth 
laugh much, smile 
share your feelings 
but most of all love
As the hours slip by 
each second counts 
when days get short 
in the spool of a life, 
Say thankyou to God 
for giving you, L I F E...

As i walk through the dense cold fog
Fog that seems to invade my thoughts.
Thoughts that slip by disguised as if whispered
Whispered stories of times I've forgotten.
Forgotten tidbits of joy like sprinkles of light. 
Light that shine bright
Bright enough to kill the shadows
Shadows that haunt me
Me? Who am I?...

Days slip by like shadows,
Yet, I feel no sorrow.
I think back on happy times.
Childhood ,meant wonder.
Storms, meant there'd be thunder
and Christmas bells sang sweet chimes.
Then I had to mature
and find that I'm not sure,
if those shadows are still mine?

Shorelines toss her sweet sensation
with saucy flair, sealing fresh soil
of a season’s shape, so divine;
where songs submit to a bird notes' smiles.
My, show stopper swerving a gait
To slowly slip by…secretly.

No windows of opportunity
Exist there among my walls
As my education fell behind
Got lost in hallowed halls

Direction of this growing soul
Let education dare slip by
While now I sit in dead end job
Forever asking why

So now I seek a future here
Acquire knowledge of a trade
My only prayer; kids stay in school
So they can have it made...

The world is suspended with her on my chest;
her breathing is steady and I am at peace.
So much in this moment, both slowed and compressed;
the cares of the day are forgotten, released.

How is it we let such moments slip by,
failing to grasp how important they are?
Careless indifference, letting time fly,
stuck on the sidelines, filmed from afar....

Your words ringing in my ears
Like bits of history
Of time lost
Play their tune
In my absent mind
Numbed by the frozen wait
Now silence keeps sneaking
Into my melancholy
Tinged with instant
Memories
The magic buried
In permanent obsessions
Disappears
In impassible moving sands
As I watch
Hopeless
The evanescent vision
Slip by
On the worn path...

a cute catacomb
place where we would like to roam
there we have our home

find a place to hide
we should see quarterback slide
first down was denied

she was with a smile
while she had walked down each aisle
number can compile

devil avoid
as well as slip by Freud
friend an android

Probably should have made it four entries instead of only one....

I look for you
In all I do


I do my best
To live full fest


I wait right here
For you my dear


Time slips by fast
Until at last


I see your face
So full of grace


Here and now stay
Upon our way


Hand in hand we
Stride so happy


Watch time slip by
In lovely sighs


Beauty I see
Caress to be

lamppost flickers soft
inviting a slumber deep
amidst taps of crystal mist.

outside, skyscape flaunts its view
to pinpoint evening , aglow...
lamppost flickers soft.

wrapped in quilt,
thoughts milder gently slip by
inviting a slumber deep.

chants this nocturne
where lullabies hover low
amidst taps of crystal mist.

silently I hand him our
sweating baby
and slip by
down the hall
he picks up my exact rhythm
and walks singing his lullaby
soothing this feverish child
cradled in his giant hands
I stop in the kitchen for water
and step out
onto the porch
deep night
cool, cool air quickens my skin
feet bare on the boards
I close my eyes to hear the hum of
silence
and feel my self
cooling
my
fever...
