I Need Time

I need time To heal, to dream, To ponder, to contemplate And to bid my soul to dance To the many wicked beats Of my broken heart! I need time, To hide my smiles, And the twinkling stars That glitter in my eyes When the magic of this world Tickles my senses To the extent of having me Run urgently for cover Towards the darkest cover of my room; There where nothing and no one Can come to see me gasp For fresh air in a world Polluted by karmic cycles! I need time, To shed tears While regretting all the goodness that I missed in life And all those to whom I could not bid goodbye As well as for every harm that I caused to others! I need time To breathe And to learn to smile again As genuinely as would babies upon gazing at Their zealous mother's gaze upon them! I need time To piece the broken pieces of my heart together Into a dazzling and mystifying puzzle Which shall remain unsolved For as long as I would want it be so! I need time, And for now, I can only remove the batteries From my wall clock To allow myself An eternal dive into the sea Of contemplations!
