TIME WAITS FOR NOBODY
On a sunny day Right in my parlour Laying on the couch I was going through my phone Then I paused for a moment Because of the sound of our wall clock. The time keeps ticking Every second You see how busy nature is Why sitting without labouring? Don't choose comfort At the age of labour Then you...

Premium Member Somewhere My Other Waits
Somewhere, in a hush not bound by walls My other waits... Not the twin of flesh But the echo I left behind... When I chose to live, this time forward. And if I call... A silence answers. For then, when I better listen... It breathes my name From both ends of the sky....

The Saddle Waits
The sunrise paints the prairie gold, The breeze still hums that tune of old, Where once I’d ride with reins held tight, Now I rock through the hush of night. My boots sit still by the old back door, Dusty dreams from days before. The saddle waits on its wooden stand— But now I hold life in my hands. No roundup calls, no...

Love waits for no one it's more than a game Love rushed breaks hearts who really is to blame Love can be unexpected but never planned Love can be rejected reasons hurt to understand.

The hooded figure waits
A hooded black robe to the ground Standing looking without a sound Whose turn is it in their final fall Waiting potently for their last call Do you see the signs in the sky written Or a scripture that was at home driven I walk towards the setting sun And can’t fail to see a world undone Do I slip wanting...

Premium Member The Soul Waits
The soul dreams . . . of a day when it can be free; a day when it is no longer held captive in a murky world of dark thoughts and dark deeds. The soul yearns . . . for a time when it can forever soar; a time when it can break free of earthly bonds, chains of fear, tethers of...

Premium Member The You That Waits at the End of the Path
You walk, step after step, through choices carved into dust, through silence heavy with answers you are not ready to hear. You do not know where the road leads, only that it calls, only that turning back is not the same as stopping. But somewhere ahead, beyond the fog of doubt, past the echoes of what could have been, there is a version of you waiting— The...

Time Waits for No One
Time waits for no one. Isn’t that great? If it waited on us, it would end up too late. We think we’re the master of our time controlled realm, But Time is the faster man at the helm. What we witness now is already gone. When? Where? and How? is the ultimate con. When we’re young and naïve, we set ourselves...

Love Waits, But I Do Not Rest
I want to make you mine, not just in whispered promises, not just in silent prayers, but in the life we build, brick by brick, hand in hand. But my hands empty, searching grasp only air where security should be. Not because I do not try, not because I...

He waits
just outside beyond my door I know that he is standing there and reminders I do not need of that which he will bring and I will turn avert my eyes and stop up my listening ears and my thought to other things turn so that they will not me remind and I do wonder how that they seek out all that they can...

Premium Member Under neon lights, she waits silently
Under neon lights, she waits silently, with paint spread on her lips and mascara running like old tears, while men pass by, hungry eyes stripping her like something forgotten, cast into the darkness of night. Her skin is not her own, but a currency, a language learned through whispers and hidden wounds. Each touch feels like another name erased, another fragment of herself she trades...

She Waits
Death sleeps in my bed a lover untouched Betrothed to my longing a virgin as such She waits for a signal as time closes in To open her wings — and fly me to Him (1st Book Of Prayers: August, 2024) ...
