Time And Timelessness

Your love is one that does not age Like the lilac wine that blossoms Into a beauty over time Time and timelessness will bind The vines of this enchantment A dichotomy so intertwined Like the asphalt in the ocean As we float above the waters In ceaseless beating motion Our dispositions secure We live in spates of wake In homes built with our hearts We bend but do not break In a distant possibility Perhaps an ending looms Though ours is no exception We love what we can take Of smiles and half-creased wrinkles Of tears and jumping lakes These ribs protect intrusion But lungs are built to fail Yet though the heart is naked Fragilities prevail I love you with the ticking Of clocks that won't rewind For the first time you left me Our cross became a line
