Time

Time,
You’re an ever present companion.
You with that rigid, straight legged walk.
Clip, clop; clip, clop.

You never talk,
Only glare at me in silence.
And no matter how fast I run,
You’re never far behind.

I must say Time,
You remind me of an English gent,
In that thin black suit and trousers.
Watching me for hours, with those beady little eyes.

Unfortunately you seem hell-bent on my demise.
Plotting and planning with each passing day.
Nudging me along to my eventual end,
No chance to appreciate where I’ve been.

Even at the last you’ll be there.
With that cold empty stare.
Counting the last few grains of sand,
Pen in hand, ready to sign the papers.

But you know what Time?
I’m going to refuse to die,
Just to spite you.
And if you try and make me I’ll bite you.

I’ll fight you tooth and nail.
And I’m pretty sure I won’t fail.
In fact I’d bet my life on it.
Some might say that’s ironic.

And in the end, one of us will lose.
But now only time will tell if it’s me or you.

This night

The stars rain down upon my drought covered soul.
Like wind over moon lit waters, a shiver, a ripple of laughter.
Fingers dance over silky sun touched curves,
And my heart beats ever faster.

The heat rises; a delicious, tingling fire consuming my inhibitions.
Like a bull in a china shop I can’t stop. For my eyes are fixed upon you.
Time the watcher of all, tonight lies still in our embrace.
Giving depth to this moment; preserving this night.

Our two hearts take flight, crashing thru the heavens like shooting stars.
Like ivy intertwined, two hearts, one life, one family forever.
Alone in the night, yet no fear in our eyes, for we have each other.
This night, this memory will be cherished forever.
