What is time?
Minutes, hours, days, years?
Or is it something else?
***************************
Time – Beginning
You sitting on a ocean dock.
Me standing on a mountain peak.
Separated but never apart
in unknown space and time.
Your time - Sacrifice
Inhaling the smell of death and war,
touching agony and despair.
Through a open window
finding forgiveness and peace.
My time - Squandered
Searching for something
not knowing what it was.
Biding my time uselessly
in marriage unrequited.
Our time together – Always
Warm embraces,
teasing kisses,
long slow lovemaking.
All the passion that is love.
Time - Moments
Past, present, and future
merged into a single thought.
And that single thought
is a single moment.
***********************************
On ocean docks and mountain peaks,
you can see infinite stars in the sky.
And each twinkling star is
a moment of always.
Always, my lover.
I have always been yours,
and you have always been mine.
Infinite moments of always.
In the starry light of love,
our perfect love.
