Eve Roper Poet Sonnet

Time Was Sweet and Giving

Days go by without words and kindness whim
He moves slowly as age tends to fail him
ohs, ows  common persisting complaining
Once  agile and active now weakening

Time was sweet and giving now with sorrow
Naive, “Is it today or tomorrow?”
Time just seems to creep along in his limbs
Now season sneak up behind him yet dim

Time doesn’t creep and slowly pours, it’s rapid
Once my hero, now alone since his passed
Time will not let me beg, steal, or borrow
Filled kiss my heart thirst for without sorrow

Silence wasn’t a word  for  the boy next door
Now I hunger, “You are all I long for”
