Hold me in your arms
Where I feel small and safe.
Arms pinned to my sides
Cocooned in your warmth
Skin against skin
Your steady heartbeat
Counting out the time
The time we have left.
How much time is left?
Your heart does not say.
Steadily it beats.
I try to forget.
To forget that you will soon be gone.
Gone back to your life.
And I to mine.
The cruel clock ticks on.
Stealing our time away.
Seconds evaporating;
Vanishing before our eyes.
You cannot keep me safe
From the clock.
Tempus fugit.
Yes it does.
With arms outstretched
I try to pull it back.
The wisps slip through my fingers.
Be still, be still.
Oh time, be still.
Suspend me in this moment
Forever.
Let me stay here
Let my restless soul
Be calm
I am small.
I am safe.
With you.

twelveooneabout 11 years agothe cliche
but, I think on the good side
you have the instincts for a good songwriter, but not quite yet the poet, there is nothing that quite tears the head off, i.e. it says what it says, but not that other dimension
5ed, and gladly look forward to more
