In The Moment

We have no time to
Spend in the past, memory,
We must invest in
What is at this time present
For now is here, happening.

Tomorrow may be
What is coming, but it is
Still a day away –
Today, with its dire troubles
Or sweet pleasures, is enough.

Yesterday ashes,
Tomorrow draped in clouds, mist,
We will live this day,
Building, realizing dreams
With our best abilities.

Haiku

There is no need to
Hideaway except inside
The circle of love.

*****

I found wild roses
In a color burst beneath
Branches over me.

*****

Where we go from here
We may not know every proof;
The bridge back is closed.

*****

Some things are given,
Others are taken away,
Smile just for this day.

*****

Love as if you have
Only this moment to care,
Never look away.

*****

Be the trip taken
Beyond every one’s unknown,
Lead each heart to love.

*****

Difference is spice
Added to the great banquet,
Where all are at home.

You, I Need…

I need you…
Like all the quilts tonight.
I need you…
Like the pen with which I write.
I need you…
Like the heat of a shower.
I need you…
Like a cooler swallow of water.
I need you…
Like a rose within the hedge.
I need you…
Like another taste of chocolate.
I need you…
Like a song I often sing.
I need you…
Now and forever, here with me.

Never far out of mind, but always beyond reach.

Ah Well, Love…

If your smile were money
We could free the world of poverty.
If your voice were music
The concert would last endlessly.
If you chose to become a model
Applause would greet you each runway.
If you acted upon the gilded screen
The best lines would find your role.
If you took my hand in yours
You would own my heart immediately.

I get silly when I stay up. Then when do I not stay up? Anyway, I was playing with words. I think, though, this might make a good Valentine.

Lisp

Never hesitate
To say words which need saying,
Remember kindness
Edit the pain from verses
Leave portions of blame submerged.
Be a vessel with
Love overflowing to share
Positives which can
Unmake histories of dark
Shadow introducing light.
Decant the music
Noun and verb present sentence
Tense making merry
Encouraging, delighting,
Set straight, inspiring, writing
While knowing what is
Can work out all the showing
Instead of hidden
In the cave depths, the meadow
Displays drama past the stage.

This poem is conjoined Tanka, which I find enjoyable.
