Time Is Life

by Innocent Fairy   Dec 13, 2011


Time is precious
so much to do
so much to give
so little time

Am I too late before the sun sets?

Time slips under me
as I sleep tonight
wondering if my dreams
will ever return

Or, will I stay forever in this nightmare

Time, will it ever turn back
to catch the tide that I missed
the youth that I lost
for my love, that was unrequited

I once heard, time and tide wait for none

Time is the 4th dimension
my presence in it, a reality
my past, an illusion
my future, a delusion

I dream of days past, forever lost

My time is flying fast
life is running short
It seems I am riding a time bomb
one that cannot be defused

So much to share, but does anyone care?

Would you even care, Oh divine angel
when my heart is ready to stop,
starved of love, not lust
will you deprive me of a breath of life?

When I will give you my soul, for all eternity

Will you leave me behind, all alone?
Dangling forever, in the clutches of time
Do you really repudiate my love
when I give you my all?

If you do, kill my heart, take my soul?

A collab with A Lonely Soul please comment on his as well,,it was fun and started out as a challenge for me then to a great collab :)

    This was a strong poem that was very heartfelt. I was deeply moved by it. The poem as a whole is very emotional and parts of it reminded me of a situation from my past.

    "Time, will it ever turn back
    to catch the tide that I missed
    the youth that I lost
    for my love, that was unrequited"

    ^ My favorite stanza

    Time is precious
    so much to do
    so little time,
    in this left over lifetime
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    The opening stanza is quite powerful in itself as it opens up a lot of questions - it did for me. It made me want to read more!

    I love how you used the analogy of the sun setting with dying - making it sound so beautiful and peaceful.

    Time is the 4th dimension
    my presence in it, a reality
    my past, an illusion
    my future, a delusion
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    My favourite stanza - loved how you used words like delusion and illusion and reality all in one go to describe the stages of your life

    So much to share, but does an angel care?

    Would you even come to my rescue
    when my heart is ready to stop,
    starved of love, not lust
    will you deprive me of the breath of life?
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    Eeven though you're talking about death - the use of the word Angel can be taken as Angelic or as a woman - lover. I took it as the lover perspective - I love how it can mean both.

    I quite enjoyed this poem and think you both did a wonderful job

    A great job with a powerful message.
    It flowed so smoothly, and said so much.
    Maybe another is in the future for the two of you to do.
