Time
cannot be defined
by the human mind
it's always there with us
and against us.....
and it cannot be tamed
but it has the power to shame
or bring you blame
time is never the same
so you don't know which way to turn
time can leave you burned
or lonely as you learn..... to yearn
for love that you have lost to time.....
Time’s always been my enemy
it can punish me with vicious ends
in ways I cannot comprehend
removing those I dearly love
taking years their lives were lent
long before their time was spent
and leaving my heart full of grief
all crippled ip and bent....
Against time there’s no defense
I use it at such great expense
because it will never
come back 'round again
It demands I use it wisely
in my past it has surprised me
so many times.... yet unrepentant
it is my prison, I’m its tenant
and there is no escaping time
which was Evolution's crime.
"if I only had a dime
for all hours I was able
to save any damn time at all
I would flat broke
and even when I saved time
It just disappeared anyway
and though I got a few things done
it would come back
with the rising sun
with so much left not yet begun
time always has me on the run...."
It holds tick-tock gun
against my head
it will decide when I am dead
but then I will be free of time
to face eternity.......
where there is no
damn end to see
for time goes on and on
long after we are gone
who the hell invented time???
Yet time has been my friend
It brought me love that promised
sweet peace and some
pleasure without end
that time planted in my memories
so that I could relive easily
all the time spent with past lovers
Plus my wife and my family
it can steal the years
but it can’t erase
the joys it brought to me.
Yet time's
brought me loneliness
a total void of happiness
spent wallowing in sad regret
Until it chose to come back yet
with new Loves, warm and fresh
where passion and flesh meshed
in some ways time has blessed
but still I must address
that times invention
was a terrible mess
Time has been my
enemy and friend
sometimes useless and
sometimes I depend
on time, each day I slowly wend
my ways until my final day
then time will send me
far beyond all caring
of what time forced me to pay
and I guess that is o.k.
I guess that Is O.K.
