After years of thorough research Total secret from Christian Church Friends and family have no idea I invented a perfect panacea
Crafted malleable Time Machine No one on Earth could have foreseen Anneal and temper machine was built To facilitate life -- lived to the hilt
You want to go back in time with me ? Heed the rules and then we'll see Can’t change the past, nor save Lincoln Not the purpose if that’s your thinking
The warp of time starts from the heart You'll feel the change when we depart Enclosure fits two, no more can go Both make amends no quid pro quo
Now press the button, pull on my Vandyke On that brave moment super nova shall strike Abscond, attempt to destroy temporal might Your angst will build walls no more, in flight
This is the first from a parallel series of The Time Machine and Sir Thomas de Charney Templar Knight. Each time I edit it a bit as I am more into meter now and this one is a bit "off" but brings back good memories when I started writing poetry. Some of the lines are in iambic tetrameter, some start in trochaic prosody; I'll keep refining along the way as I travel through time. Thanks. Thomas
