Shih-Fang Wang

Not for Now

 

His rage turns into an uncontrollable fire just now

Nothing can put out his hatred flame for now

 

There is no need for him to worry so much

Things will finally work out though not for now

 

I give him my earnest advice for his dilemma

He pays no attention to my suggestion for now

 

His concerns are rational and logical

But I will not give them credits for now

 

His accusing words roar in my ears all day long

Disquieted, I want to forget about him for now

 

There is no way to stay carefree all the time

Moments of sorrow come albeit not for now

 

Life and death are endless topics to discuss

Rose will stop chiming her opinion for now
