TIME MACHINE

Step into the time machine
of a dream

feel the seconds flow
one into the other

until odd as it seems
time is abolished

and out of your absence I
conjure your presence.

Death cannot
enter

here
your living

breathing self
this the moment

when you
were mine

untouched by death
or time.

I wake to
the nothingness

of you
gone

the birds singing
a new day

into being.
