about the past
regret for time mislaid
What’s done is gone
all swan’s in song
— tomorrow’s yesterday

Shackling His TongueI am frustrated and annoyed by his ticking,
or perhaps it should be labeled the 'tocking'
By the never-ending tongue wagging clicking
in the language better known as 'clocking'
Must Grandfather Time command my life?
He so rudely continues without...

He Has Only Just Begun
It started thousands of ages ago,
when He had only just begun.
His creativetly was beyond all thought,
it was just divine.
If one looks over the many years,
we can see His handy work around every corner.
Today, technology is...

Four o'clock
At four o'clock,
Your world wakes:
My dainty array
Of a rainbow vale.
With fascination,
Every four o'clock I
Watch your opening eyes
Obey - without a fight -
The alarm clock in your mind....

If Only You KnewI was lying in bed, unable to sleep,
Thinking of troubles I'd seen in life, so deep.
If I could give counsel to the younger Dave,
From so many disasters, him I could still save.
Somewhere, in bed, many...

Use Time Expediently
Use Time Expediently
Written: by Miracle Man
5/13/2024
Yesterday’s are always unforgiving,
for hourglass sand can’t defy gravity.
Thoughts should be on time we’re living,
we shouldn’t live life in depravity.
We cannot alter the hands of time,
nor learn what amount remains.
But...

The Infinite GyreRiding the spiraling clockwork of reality again –
Off to the sky, beyond the clouds…
And the revolutions grow faster, but, slowly, I begin to perceive their pattern.
I am a slow learner, but I have been given...

Lovers Over TimeFire ignites in the body.
Pleasures that transcend life within life
and create tremors in the soul.
A kiss on the lips, honey drips.
Bodies entangled in embrace so tight.

in the presence of abiding love

Footprints
There is a sense of trespass
on this frost enameled morning
as I leave my footprints graffitied
across the white grass,
sending the noise of every step
to crunch my presence
into a wide, frozen silence.
I stop, marooned...

My Now is Just Your ThenAs the clocks creep,
unknown...

of Calendulas,
and Cotswold stone,

in compliance,
that this, beauty,
cannot be…here,
just for me,
alone.
