Moments in Time
(poems go here) The clock strikes twelve and my mind strikes a nerve
another day gone to waste in this never ending hourglass
hours were once variables now they breathe constants
constantly drowning through this man made concept of the measurements of life
see it’s not that I don’t want to waste my time
I just don’t want to waste my life
the truth is all life is relative
because my beating heart is not born back ceaselessly into the past
it springs forward in a never ending chorus of dusk and dawn
my life is measured in moments not minutes
and I hope that when my eyes glance at the world one last time
that I will be able to blink a thousand times
to the only thing that I will own that adds homage to my existence
I want to paint a portrait of the sun in the abyssopelagic
so that there can be one less place where the sun don’t shine
and I want to write letters in lipstick and stamp them with a smudge
to every person I’ve ever kissed and to every person that I almost did
I want to have a date with myself and have a glass of wine with my tears
and if im lucky maybe marry my thoughts
because one day I want to love myself as much as I love the world
and there are so many things to do and so little… well who knows
so it goes
I don’t know where to go
