Samuel, Time Hates Us

Did you know time can slip by when we're not having fun? Samuel, it hasn't been fun These days that we've spent, it's felt like hours And remember when you came to the door with flowers? But time, Samuel- it's never odd or even Samuel, time hates us We don't even have a moment that's just ours Yet, chance made us friends Sitting in Niagara, staring at the lights Honestly, you and me, we could be free And yet we're imprisoned Steadily being caged in by time We were from the beginning, we were from the start Time hates us, dislikes us, loathes us, despises us We're the eyes of it's storm And yet I can tell in your eyes that you're happy That even with a car running on empty and not living a life we had envisioned, We've made a world that stretches far

I like this very much, especially the part about being the eyes of the storm... moving, and intelligent.

A share dear poet, that many can relate to ! Some times I indulge in writes like this one, to remind myself that life is filled with moments of regret ! Not to say that this is your purpose, yet for me, this is life. Fine expression Juli ! Have a wonderful week end...much love, james

wow. this one is sure different! I can feel in this one some of the emotions I have had in relationships. I am torn between wondering if you want to stay with the guy or not. I think not! It seems "he" is the happy one and not you. I like this one MUCHO
