Time

Time

 

Time, time—there is no time

                  homework becomes me

                        with duties, business, things to do

                  “I’m sorry not tonight”

 

Again before she goes to bed

      for an instant our eyes meet

            as she slips away

            no grudges to bear

            we will be one tonight

 

Up in darkness reflecteth her form

      beams of love from above

      fleeting moments out my window capture her embrace

 

Oh how loved I am

      and how I love

      this special love of mine

Now off to bed to dance

      with this woman of the night

      in sleep we are truly one

      yet in morning, can’t remember!

 

 

Now starteth a new day

The rush begins

And on and on

The same old story

 

But today, set aside this time have I

      to be one with thee

            in waking hours

      to renew our love

      to entwine our essence

      to breathe new life into each other

 

The love that is beyond words

The love that is only felt

The best I can do

      is put pen to paper

And hope you will embrace her too
