Premium Member Tomorrow will be too late
Employing absolute freedom innate, as the subject, the object and the means the triad of energies shapes our fate, with the light of Self veiled behind five screens, the densest being our organic form, God’s vital life breath enlivening dust, entwined with mind, conjuring a thought storm, bliss body and childlike heart that does trust, being then the hurdles we need to cross, to...

Letter That Came Too Late
I opened it like a wound unwrapping itself, the envelope soft from time, your name trembling in a handwriting I had learned to forget. You said sorry. In ink, not voice. In past tense. As if my years of silence were a thing you could fold into a paragraph. I had already buried you in the quiet way people bury the living, not with dirt, but with detachment. I built...

Premium Member It's Not Too Late
No, it's not too late; It's n e v e r too late to make your wrongs right, to chase after dreams, to a p o l o g i z e. It's not too late to fall in love, to tell someone your true feelings... or to try again, as long as you have breath within... you. ...

Opportunities come in varying disguises Chances missed always causes disgusts Nevertheless, time always is evolving. The wheel can't be reinvented but requires improving Too Many Too Late.

L i f e I sense your perplexed pulse within pirouetting pearls, steeped in sinister streaks, while fading sparks of dulcet stars swing from threads of darkness on the verge of vertigo, living in minutes caught in the crawling contradiction of tainted t i m e… O’ f r a g i l e hummingbird, I hear the hushed hymns hovering through the ebony haze, awaiting unlocked gates adorned with...

Premium Member Too early in my life it was already too late
Too early in my life it was already too late, as if the dawn had rushed to bite the edge of the night, and the stars, those relics of time, had faded before I could grasp them with my gaze, a journey where the trains depart before I reach the platform, and my thoughts weave into imaginary journeys through...

I hustle simultaneously with rut of shoppers, on the road flocking to stores and malls, while some shop by phones making calls. To bustle for the best deal to get. When prices...

Premium Member Too Late Cock
Too late Cock, too late, dawn missed. Your 'cock-a-doddle do' laments in the mist! For your alarm is set too late to matter, Too late, to make selfish greed smash and shatter. In days gone by, humankind once believed, That common good by proxy could be achieved. To stop climate change with a united stand. To end the endless wars that hate...
