Terry Reeves Poet Prose

Time Warp

I looked at my watch and it was quarter to three.
you were on your back where you wanted to be,
I had to wake you from your dreams, game changer,
there was Tonto but you settled for the Lone Ranger.

I looked at my watch and it was quarter to four,
you were dressed and heading towards the door,
I had to weather a storm, one which you might empower, 
there was a slam and I was left in my ivory tower.

I looked at my watch and it was quarter to five,
you came back and like Daley, my spirits took a dive,
I had to admit that I didnt love you as often as I should,
there was a 'buck - up' needed, otherwise someone else would.

Time stood still, your hands went neither forward nor back,
you wound me up - reminded me of all the things I lack.
