T.Nicole Williams Poet Free verse

Time's Passing

There’s no laughter torn from these lips;
no spoken words of love...lust.
For all I desire is out of hands reach;
there's no earthly thing I crave more, than you.
~
Caught up in life’s folly...whirlwind ride,
nothing is hidden... nothing is known.
Long silence in this space... without breath or pulse;
empty of me... empty of you.
~
My one door has closed; 
shall I not feel the rain again
nor see the sun chasing shadows?
I am faceless here... with no rise nor set.
~
My lips swears hourly..
though my voice stays mute
Time is binding... time is passing.
Come back to me before love glows
less than an un-stirred ember.
~
