carpe diem

Be wise, strain your wine, and in this brief space
Cut back long hopes. even as we speak, envious time
Flees: sieze the day, trust little in tomorrow.

Odes, Bk 1, Ode 11,li 6-8


What could be "if" may
never come and
i lose my chancce
now while i have it.

What may hurt
tomorrow would still
hurt now just the
same if i don't.

I seize the day
when my heart smiles
now lest my lips
know not what joy is.

I see not the path
we tread though
i know where i
want to go.

Let's just claim
this day as ours
and be whoever
we want to be...

for each other for now.
