You wait for things to ripen
Age to perfection
Like some amazing golden moment
That’s only purpose is to shine
So brightly in your eyes it hurts
If only your fantasies were like
Autumn pears
You could squeeze them
Turn them over in your hand
Decide whether or not
You would really want to
Sink your teeth into them

Time is irrelevant
No meaning cast
Daylight dishonored
By shadows of the past
Seasons slide easily
Through white knuckled fists
Like tiny bright crystals
Too weak to resist
Time is a gift
To be treasured or wasted
Portraits and images
Carefully pasted
Time is mind altered
We stand early or late
Pausing… resuming
But time does not wait
Time is man measured
Designed and driven
Assumed, forsaken
Granted, God given
The words are ringing in my ears today
Blinding my eyes with tears
Taking me down to that place
Where the back of my throat is all I can feel
Razor-sharp annunciation
Cryptic though in clarification
Boxing my brain again
Revealing my pain again
Time has no bearing on this burden
Riddles, reasons overlap seasons
Oblivious to wasted time
Moments lost, never to find
Hope dangles on a thread
Frayed and frazzled in my head
Precious moments terminate
As stubborn hearts still beat
mishunderstood
