K nowYesterday is gone.
Tomorrow never comes.
Don't forget about your present.
Open that gift today.
Let go all your grudges,
Judgments,
Past mistakes,
Watch the route today makes.
Illusive Tomorrow,
The valiant foe.
Teasing us,
It'll never show,
It's yesterday's shadow.
Look to your present,
Go with the flow,

Another story never toldTime and space
Duration and displacement
Words suggesting separation
And necessary apparently
For the stories which
Make up knowing and doing..
For the most part
Few arguments are posed
To threaten these assumptions
And an argument would
Be another story featuring
Time and space..

Fickle Instant Osmosis
Ephemeral eternity — covers osmosis pinnacles
In a loving natural roots, nostalgia never fails
Welcomed. . .we wander — and cry
It slinks slackly not dwelling in the gloom. . .
Gestalt therapy in sepia tones offers an odd...

As Time Goes byTime goes by the way it does,
and we can't catch up,
and so we don't.
People put us in the recesses
of their minds, but we are still here.
And they are still there, I suppose.
I often wonder ......

The King and the SageI thought it was enough I loved them all.
Yet love may rise, whilst lives about one fall.
In myriad hopes conceiving were I tasked,
Yet all the while, on balconies I basked.
For glory’s garlands shall it ne’er...

Forever Is NowToday
is in context
Tomorrow
is not
The moment
held captive
The future
uncaught
To be
unbegotten
No birth
and no death
The present
resplendent
No last
— dying breath

Love Is Not BitterLove is not bitter, for time is not long,
Love is the rainbow, and never the rain;
Love is the weakness that makes the heart strong;
Love me forever, two ones to a twain....

A Poem By Any Other NameA Poem by Any Other Name…Should Smell Like a Poem
I ran out of time
to post my lines.
So, as I compose
I hold my nose.
Acrid alliteratives,
malodorous odes,
musty metaphors,
putrid pantoums,
reeking rhymes,
stinky stanzas,
smelly sagas,
obfuscate our olfactory organs.
So, as you...

Success Is Like A Pot Of SoupSuccess is like a pot of soup:
Think about making a pot of soup
You put the ingredients in
Boil them for a long time
It seemed like nothing was happening
Suddenly the sweet smell came up
That's where...

MyopiaThere’s nothing more satisfying -
Than seeing clearly.
The sharpness of the edges -
Cutting through you,
Starstruck.
Inspired.
Blink and you just might miss it.
Rest and you may never find.
The speed of reality is self destructive.
Slowly, the lines start to...
