Past Peace And Grace

Anthony3 Comments

Looking in the past for the answer 

Will consume your life like cancer.

–

Some rocks are better left in place

Acceptance gifts the reward of grace.

–

All in your life has happened for reasons

Go with the flow, evolve like the seasons.

–

Past tragedies do not define

Lessons learned are sublime.

–

Look backwards with perspective not rage

Past events in life’s book are just a page.

–

Know what you want and proceed 

It’s not selfishness or even greed

It’s knowing what you will need 

So that your happiness can feed…

Ever Present

AnthonyLeave a comment

When does today become yesterday

When does present become the past

It must be before midnight, I dare say 

Certainly, its finality, will find you fast. 

–

So cherish each moment 

Before they are all gone

Lest you’ll suffer lament

But we must carry on…

Scene of the Crime

AnthonyLeave a comment

We return to the scene of the crime

Here and there from time to time. 

–

Many of us sometimes, must return 

To where and when things overturn.

–

To see if there is a different song 

Or reason things went so wrong. 

–

Find the causes for being spurned

Glom any lessons to be learned.

–

As we do, it’s an extended time alone

Away from friends, staying off the phone.

–

Though, combing hard pasts for an answer

Eats away at us all like an insidious cancer. 

–

Unless you’re learning something new

You’ll get stuck and start dwelling too.

–

Be present be here and now 

Make yourself a solemn vow.

–

Find the power of gratitude 

Then adjust your attitude.

–

You’ll find peace 

In the very least.

–

Do what you can that feels right 

During your days or even at night.

–

Reboot your mindset, reach out to friends

Drop the obsession with solving your trends.

–

Play to all your strong suits, of course

Share your experience or writing source…

Peace With The Past 

Anthony6 Comments

The days roll by 

One after the other

Take pause and sigh.

–

Uncertainty like no other

Haunts us inside 

Like a firmer friend or lover.

–

Give up your pride

Eat some humble pie

And go for a ride.

–

Each nanosecond rolls by

An eternity in each 

Wishing and be could fly.

–

Placing hardships out of reach

Landing upon happier times

One some warm sandy beach.

–

We never stop paying for past crimes

Punishing ourselves for those mistakes

Get what we deserve on karmic lines.

–

So take all those breaks 

Parlay them into happiness 

And avoid all the flakes.

–

Finally you can impress 

Upon yourself 

Gentle peacefulness…

Passions in the Past

Originally Published 04/16/2024

Portent eyes that pierced my heart

And warm smile from the start

–

Soft skin velvety so sweet

Made my senses feel complete

–

Soft scent of coconut all over

I took in her every feature as I’d hover

–

Shapely legs strong and firm

A shear perfection, the very term

–

Pursing lips I often miss

Soft and ready for a kiss

–

Toned body that reigned supreme

All her features are a dream

–

Laughter and passion while sharing space

Two fingers softly traced her body and face

–

I cannot forget the greatest part

Her brain, and passions for music and art

–

She slowly slipped away from me

We’re separate souls on an endless sea

–

Now a friend an acquaintance of sort

Reading my posts, a past cohort

–

Through her exit cut like a dull knife

I’m grateful for her indelible touch on my life.
