Said to describe
Sagacious scribes,
A sorry carcass
Frustrates to contrive,
Yet means survive
To thus achieve,
The while sauces sin
And regurgitates
What he sucks in,
To satiate ones taste
By feeding every whim…
Save frustrations
Be constant threat
To ones resolve,
With words akin
To be so wrought,
As to be limboed
In a dead man’s lot,
Robbed of musing light,
To write in mindful state
Of scribe’s relentless chase!
“ Time Left Behind ”
~ in youth’s mind ~
Should that I’d find
Days once too long,
Made to entreat
In endless ways,
Time be made brief
Eager for morrows,
Youth brooded then
He could not wait,
For long day’s end!

“ Endless Days ”
~ once upon a time ~
Alas less mindful
As by and by,
Far off morrows
Creep ever closer,
To render a mind
In a nebular bind,
As once upon a time
There be endless days
Now long left behind!
If I could
Slow the pace
Of time,
My mind
Suffers in haste,
That race
Said to be life,
I so seek
To abbreviate
The while,
I fear wants waste
Afore I’d had
My full fair taste!
Was part of the ride
Told of being alive…
Today
Fate made to give,
That I derive
The gift of a day,
An extended stay
Held staying alive…
Tomorrow
Of course,
Will only be
If I survive,
So I’ve no mind
And far less time
For such concern,
That mayn’t arrive…
Thus for this day
That I’m alive,
I choose to live
As tho it be a lifetime!
If only
Wishful thinking
Ensued achieve
Our wish,
Would it not
Be worrying,
To accomplish
But a myth…
If only
Just knowing
Without question,
Who we are
And mean attain,
Held fare enough
To entertain!
Woefully silent
The lonely people
Find endure,
The disconnection
Of a hollow place
Seclusion levies,
The while await
The assiduity
Of indifferent gods!
Pass so quickly
That down the line
You may leave
Some time behind,
Neglected days
In shadows hid
Veiling the ways
One suffers bid,
Akin to living blind…
That we misuse,
Of sad existence,
Like time unused
Holds ever lost,
Or if you wait
To let time pass,
And have life choose
How it should last,
You’ve played alas
In time’s perfidious ruse!
