A joyful light is lit
Each time
Life lends time –
To mortal shadows
Darkness weeps when
Death collects the debt…
A joyful light is lit
Each time
Life lends time –
To mortal shadows
Darkness weeps when
Death collects the debt…
Time takes stock
Of each clandestine capture
On the film that memory makes
To then turn
Thoughts in transit
To gold and dust…
Round and round
Time’s slippery slope
Like an Escher illusion
We fall and rise
Ad nauseum
Create with me
This trajectory of souls
Along this skyless time
Craft this moment
Mirrored self by side
Like our ridiculous plans
We made under rain ravaged
Concrete roof –
So we can visit
As we please…
People’s uprisings
Soil stained hands, grasp for freedom –
Time is a fractal.
Fashion for me
My own eternity,
Composed of time
Distilled in its own quiddity
So that I may think without
The distraction of death.
Reclusive, a loner-
A breaking of my bones
Bludgeoned by time.
I am broken still-
But not alone.
My hope is doubled-
You saved me…
Sunlight memories-
Rough around the edges euphoria-
Sudden travels of falling fast-
Everything lasts,
Not in the same form-
Lessons learnt too late, too early!-
A fearsome flame of fate?
No, never is time so fair!
Wait…
A being came in the night-
It was a strange empty entity,
A form of light-
I felt vanquished, devoid of power-
It was causality,
The effects were clear-
So without delay, I staggered into the haze…
No time to watch and observe,
White stars waiting for the end of night…
Like crystal blemishes on the nocturnal sky-
Let’s forget that there is no time…
No time to stay and stare,
To think on things,
To be here
Now
Us
The past, we cannot change-
The future, we do not know
The present we are given-
Let us use it, never waste it…
Speak now….
Flashing white,
Coloured lights,
Confirming what I already know,
That time travels much too slow…
