Insolent Time

Oh Thief, my hands crave to make love with the gentleness of earth’s soil or bathe in a day's hours, lapping a wind: yet your insolent pendulum snatches my need to savor the last parade of autumn flowers ... leaving me wrought with pain as the hourglass breaks my bones while you move to render me helpless.

Though mine is somewhat 'funny', this reminds me of my "Time Clock Strain" poem - you might like it. Couldn't we write and write about time? I truly enjoy this emotional poem about time robbing us ... CayCay

The fist lines immediately held my attention.. I could not help but be taken through a journey of time's frustrating, fleeting moments, though personal to you, made universal through your outstanding poetry.
