A moment in time
With thoughts of its own
It ticked, then tocked
And started to groan
As it wandered, and squandered
Then withered away
A myriad moons
And sun shiny days
As it thought to itself
Sixty times in a minute
"I try to track time
It's really hard, 'innit!"
Over the centuries
And thousands of years
Billions of seconds
And eons of tears
As time slipped slowly by
Tick tock, tick tock
Ive tried counting time
But lost time, every time i tried
As another new black hole
Opens up wide
Gone now
All the watches, and clocks
Time is now soundless
Tick tock t... ....
Yet still moving on

by Jemia

it feels as if everything
needs to be done all at once
watching all your fallen words
while you become a ghost in my presence
a subtle trembling “I'm not ready”
unable to breathe you in
you needing time & space
feeling like any other given reason
strung out to dry
will make you fall further behind

An echo in forever,
Illusions shattered on the ground,
And I will wait for never,
Somewhere nowhere to be found,
A mirror reflecting backwards,
There’s a smile that will not fade,
A clock that don’t move forward,
Blinding sunshine in the shade,
True freedom is in losing,
Laughing at both wants and needs,
Accepting in the choosing,
If I’m planting graves or seeds,
You should follow me and lead me,
In the lies you find what’s true,
The darkness is where we can see,
All the light of me and you.

When I was young  and time was infinite
I was spontaneous,impulsive, impatient.
Now I am older
and life is precious
and timeless becomes time
with an end in sight.
Love becomes more visible.
I am adventurous,
pensive and patient,
riding the next dream
into a timeless future.

I have memorized every inch of him
in hopes that when he goes
I might still have something left

but his picture fades with everyday
and now I have only shapes and shadows
of the man that I love

I can't sleep
Everytime I remember your words
They snap and recoil
And hurt me awake
Next time when someone
Promises me forever
I'll just smile
Look them in the eyes and ask
How long is forever to you.
