The Curse of Time

The Curse of Time

I was created eternal a continuous flow of energy in motion. 
I received the curse of time through the fruit of a love potion.
 I lusted, hungered, and thirst for the curse,
Now worst 
Time is my conqueror, and at this time I am defeated. 
My journey is to be seated, 
in eternity once again, 
a place where time has never been. 
Time is a ruler of my thoughts, 
my love, my movement, 
my total existence, 
now my mission is to be persistence 
in my struggle to be eternal again, 
but to conquer the curse of time, 
death has to become my friend.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Very profound, Yahliah. Those last two lines are incredibly powerful, and also so true!
