Best About Time Poems
Seconds lost on questioning,
why time's not left to chance?
Each moment is everlasting,
fate's no relentless circumstance.
We act as if time can be saved,
how pointless to believe.
Never has one debt been paid
from hours or days received.
A lifetime is a leaf of yesterday
with no relevance to tomorrow.
Reliving doubts will just betray
all claims once paid with sorrow.
There is no time for one to slay
with so many aspirations left in play.
where gently huffs the wind
in clicks of seconds undefined,
my entire being becomes aware
how grasping unto this moment,
this flow of Now slips from
time , as sunray beats the light
way down to the ground:
inside this space where quiet trails,
a lake of senses rivers on
fluid in motion, while flowers gaze--
asking for rain-- their cheeks
turned upward to lambent sky and
circles of butterflies buzz guiding
this path...I find myself letting go
without words to mar this scene;
a fluent kind of sacredness which
connects me to presence unadulterated...
and winds sigh, 'pray tell, what time is it?'
my answer, I do not know.
It's about time
to listen to the wind sing
about time
to breathe in and out with the swelling of waves
about time
to walk the narrow ridge of your lover's soul
about time
to feel love flow within you
It's about time
about ... time ...
Not that I am not a person that's causing this dismay,
It's the mere fact you will never understand these things I say,
Don't pretend you no nothing of these things I am speaking of,
Wasn't it you that said you had no time in your life for love.
It's not so funny when it is you that's being played upon,
See how hard it is to make right and fixed that is all wrong.
I suppose it wouldn't be right for me to feel so good when your down,
But it's hard for me not to and it makes me want to stick around .
As sad as it is you going through some really hard times ,
But this you truly deserve for driving me completely out of my mind.
Never doubted that your life would be different and full of pain
For all those mean and evil things you've done that was so insane.

IT'S ABOUT TIME What are you waiting for?
Take up your dream and start the journey like an eagle,
Soar to every nook and cranny until you reach the pinnacle,
Don't forget to wear your confidence as a missile,
Because fear will definitely be an obstacle.
You have sat for long.
Stand up and start the race,
Don't think about others' lanes, focus on your provided space,
When you are reaching gradually, don't let pride take humility's place,
But remember it's just by grace.
You have been thinking for so long.
Stop and switch on your vision,
Look through and watch your ambition,
Don't let it be a still birth, let accomplishing be your mission,
As you take a step, be pertinacious and never lose concentration.
Why doubt your capabilities?
You have a dream as a tool so why be a pessimist?
Skepticism is a foe to success so be an optimist,
As far as the Almighty God exists,
You will achieve every item on your success list.
‘It’s about time you grew up!’
She heard her complain
As her head started thumping
And she threw up again
‘That’s three times this week
You’ve been out on the town
Don’t you think that at your age
You should calm yourself down?’
Concealed under covers
She tried to ignore
The judgmental spectre
That stood at the door
‘Oh please go away,
You’re hurting my head
Can’t you see that I’m dying?
Just leave me in bed!’
But the censure continued
‘You look a right state
It serves your self right
For staying out late
And drinking ‘til all hours
You need to desist
You’ll ruin your liver
If you keep getting pissed
I don’t suppose for one minute
You’ll get up today
Just as well you’re not working
That’s all I can say!’
‘And I really do think
It’s about time you oughta
Set a better example
To me, as your daughter!’
ABOUT TIME TOO
Create a universe with space,
and stars and suns, then planets.
Add some life and watch it grow;
almost nothing to almost something.
Implant a need to change, evolve,
until finally one arrives at sentience.
We now have human, which thinks,
therefore it is, but often chooses not to.
Our very human need brings order into,
and from surrounding chaos,
or so we imagine. Hence years, seconds
and so forth will codify time.
This time is *very *important;
brought in to rule over us all,
while some changes of time
are turned into veritable deities.
One grand god is to be worshipped
when he grants us his New Year,
for joy and wild celebration,
and sundry bacchanalian pursuits.
But, dammit, an invented construct
starts whether we're awake to scream
or not, so this one thinking human
prefers pursuit of non-bacchanalian sheep,
and sleep ....
Alan McAlpine Douglas
As a sparrow hawk
Talons fully extended
Time, devours all things.
About time,
I've paid my dues I've crossed the line,
This moment I thought would never come,
Is in my grasp, the deed now done.
Don't get me wrong, I loved my Mum,
But all that passed would surely stun
Even a saint or the Lord above,
So tiring being an aimless dove.
Now I'm ready to take the world by storm,
Show them my worth, no longer act forlorn,
The wife I always wanted by my side,
I can finally get into my Kingly stride.
The Little niggle that remains,
Harry's willful character that pains,
I've summoned experts to hear what they might say
To finally obtain a sample of his mysterious DNA.
I'm not claiming he's not mine,
But as Americans would shout, ‘I wouldn't bet a dime’,
Thank goodness I've got my other boy,
A stand-up chap that brings me nothing but pure joy.
As to Camilla, my soulmate from the start,
From whom they never could tear me far apart,
She now stands by me as my Queen,
You saw me beam with joy like a lovestruck teen.
Don't get me wrong,
I'm painfully aware my reign may not be long,
But while I'm here, I plan to make my mark,
Understanding this job is no cakewalk in the park.
I've got the Aussies wanting to jump ship.
The Canadians on their own perennial trip,
The Scots plotting for a Clansman King,
And Parliament seeking me do next to nothing.
Yet I've got a plan,
Something that will surely stun,
Become a multimedia star,
And thus take them all across the bar.
I can jig, dance and sing,
Fly helicopters, do pretty much of anything,
Plant trees, help save our World
How can all of this be thought absurd.
Politicians just blow smoke,
Send their countries near flat broke,
I instead bring Billions in
Collecting smiles from wheresoever I have been.
That said let me enjoy my moment in the sun,
Reflecting on all that's been and done,
My resolve is firm, my duty clear,
My life's work is aimed at all, both far and near.
So rest easy, enjoy the ride,
Sailing smoothly on a flowing tide,
Over a thousand years in the making
My oath is one of giving and not taking.
(Dec 20, 2011)
I’ve learned from those bitter journeys
I’ve walked in fogs of deafen scorns
But what hurt the most come from his,
All of the slapping lies and heartfelt thorns
Days of scary shoutings and nights of haunted dreams
Months of shredded feelings and years of wounded limbs
When will this be over, how would I end this?
Love him still, but love my life more
I’ve saved enough bravery to leave all of his,
The face of regret that always drowns me more
It’s about time to treat him like a crime
Stay distant, owe him no dime
I’ve swollen my fright to take this climb
Just to get here and hear this blissful chime
Why now?
Well I think it’s about time
Just about time to make a change
Just about time to start something new
Just about time find my one
Love, it's just about time for you
New things are coming from the old
Some seeds have died to bring the new
There's a crop that's ripe for the harvest
Love, it's just about time for you
My bucket list is getting shorter
You're the one that I want to woo
Before you know it we'll be together
Love it's just about time for you
I know that it will mean some change
From the things that I am used too
I want you more then anything else
Love it's just about time or you
Just exactly what is time…
To me I guess
Tis no more or less
An invention of one’s mind
Can one really stay
Or store time away
Save it up
For another day
Can one measure what
Does not exist
No! …No more than store
The morning mist
Are you wasteful when
You let time fly by
And once it’s spent
What did it buy
It has no substance
Less even than a ghost
Yet once it’s gone
Your days are done
And my friend
You’ve become
…toast…
Time has power
To transform a scary monster into
a flower
To see the most courageous turn
into a coward
To see dreams grow from a seed
into an Eiffel Tower
To see servants turn into kings
and have everyone bow down
To see the ones once considered
worthless acquire crowns
The power of time
To take and give when it desires
and still not be considered crime
To see darkened grow weak from
light
To sometimes see darkness
become more powerful than light
Time has fathered many
Time has seen sons of the son
grow to being gods and still melt
into nothing like many
No watch on my wrist but I still
know time
Locked up in a room where I can’t
see sun but I still know time
Because with every breath I take
Time proves it to me who is lord
Who is king of all kings
Time still proves it to me that
whoever believes in it
And knows that there can never be
enough time to wait
Yet still there can be enough time
to dream
Will become the world’s greatest
with only a little guidance from the one
and only
TIME
Because the one and only TIME,
changes everything
TIME, is simply all we need
This almighty immeasurably
powerful entity..
Governing all that exists
And yet
Upon Time, I look down
For not even Time can hold me
Immortal spirit I reign supreme
All that I am, was born in Dream
And in the realm of Dream, Time
does not exist
Child of bliss
I pray to no god but God
Belief is my all …and if we believe
it then so it will be
And therefore, Lord Time, you
cannot rule me
For I am awake within my dream,
And that sort of power is awarded
only, to that which I grant it to
All my love for you, Time; All my
respect for you, Time
But don’t think for one moment,
that you’re, my Divine.
IT'S ABOUT TIME
Let us talk to the birds visiting us in summer,
Let us talk to the afternoon shadow,
Let us raise our pets to our level,
Let us raise our decibels...
It's about time.
Let us talk to the palarysing heat in the air,
Let us pick our items from the rubbish heap,
Let us talk to the moon going down,
Let us talk to the peach tree...
It's about time.
It's about time we all appeal,
Let us talk to Mr Roosevelt
Maybe by the end of the day
We'll be knowing a thing or two
For a New Deal...
It's about time we dig into the grave;
Let us call on the brave!
It's about time the smaller works with the mighter,
It's about time we call on the fighters
It's about time we call on the brave!
It's about time we mix our capacities
And fix our capabilities.
It's about time we raise our decibels
To the mighty Mdzimba mountains...
It's about time we talk to the rebels
To pour down the Swazi fountains.
Let us talk to the birds visiting us in summer,
Just how much do they spend from New York City?
Let us borrow from them their extra fees;
Perhaps it could pay a Swazi child to college.
Let us call on the rebels, the fighters, the champions of change:
It's about time!!
About time you show up
About time you help out
About time you comfort me
About time you decide to step up
About time you realized
About time i that i left
About time you felt lost
Because with out me
Your not everything you say
I was your world, and you weren't mine
So listen now and hear out loud
I miss you, but i never knew you
This me telling you
Now its time
To go on your own
While i go on my own.......
