Time

She is seductive, with a twist of the familiar,

Quick to let you believe an untruth,

Slight of hand mastered, she is an illusionist of epic proportions.

 

Most will get lost in her song.

A sweet melody of misdirection and inevitability,

She will sing you to sleep if you let her.

 

A relationship beyond choice,

You feel a slave to her direction,

Arrows and entropy build her house.

 

But look close enough and the foundation crumbles.

Hate her mask but find love in her truth,

Search her details to find her heart.

 

The pain comes from fear,

Afraid of separation,

Until death do you part.

 

A relationship misconstrued,

Forever is the desire of an unsure heart.

Be present be aware.

 

This moment sits outside of time, sit with it & hold her hand.

She makes no promises, dance with her & be drunk from her spirit,

Let her whisper sweet nothings in your ear, for she knows no other way.
