Liquidity

Time becomes liquid when I’m with U an endless torrent, rushing river & I imbibe it greedily sucking down hours like minutes. It runs down our bodies & sizzles our words Like pungent hot oil. It runs Like mercury smooth & easy until it lands heavy in my conscience a finite measure of our infinite joy. Becomes wet concrete, slowing Wishes words actions thoughts dreams Solidifies into duties, alarm clocks, books, responsibilities. It hardens. Creating the path that I tread upon, dragging my feet until it again becomes A liquid endless torrent . . . rushing river when I’m with U.

Mari, stopping by to read this poem again... I like the way you laid the watery image of melting by his side as time passes by... sometimes love can take so much away,,, greediness always steps in and wants more.... maybe we need to build a dam for the gushing river.... love this.... one again....PD
