Seize Now.
Our written past we darken
when in looking back we search
for its worded errors
which turn on the many.
Our day-bed of rest is wasted
by rephrasing each gone attempt
to communicate ourselves
either for or against.
But waking we best seize Now
with both hands raised ready to
dart memory's lax guilt
and let love have its head.
We make Kings from deceit,
Lords out of treachery then
Queens from the unseemly
if real feels unsteady.
Stalking the past, self-respect
marks gems from forgiveness
that scatter fresh stardust
over falsehood's regret.
Eyes that seek loyalty widen
ways toward transformation
peace oils future's gate
so naught left to repent.
Our written past tho' worded
with error is ever best seen
as a learning curve given
from none other than Heaven.

Fay, perfect! All I can say is 'carpe diem'
Fred's right = carpe diem indeed - super stuff Fay.
tHANKS fay Thanks FAY ~ love the form of this Poem and the SEVEN one line epithets and piquancy to the triplets. Taken together thy form a very enigmatic ODE !
SEIZE NOW !
Which turn on the many
Either for or against
And let love have its head
If real fees unsteady
Over falsehood's regret
So naught left to repent
From none other than Heaven.

Ohh, I dunno! I thought you was talking to a guard dog - Seize now! heehee.
The "we make kings from deceit" is a brilliant stanza. Well done!!
A fine write Fay. I would say Carpe-Wotsit too. I thought it was a fish at first! (carp). lol.
Very good write Fay, each moment of every day is special, cease them all.
Our past as "a learning curve" ... so well captured herein, Fay. Kudos!
Great write queen of the poets. Fay, awesome as always. This is what we need to do. Learn from the past and not get stuck there. Seize now. Well said.
Whatever heaven means to the individual. Some seems to want to claim their understanding is the only truth and why? because they have faith that it is so.....
