Best Time After Time Poems
Time After Time
When they found him he was wet, shivering, naked and under three burlap blankets. His skin was riddled with insect bites, bits of leaves and indescribable things were embedded in his flesh. He had been struggling to finish what may have been a beautiful lullabye to a baby hummingbird when he had been discovered. He repeatedly uttered the following in a melodioc yet tragic and desparate yearn of passion.......'Forsake the slake of moonlit rise, for take the make of heartbreak prise, be my glory, my story my endless relentless tries....just be and be for me and mine'. ........ They covered him from the cameras as they walked him away from me. I stood in the days fading light at the bottom of that canyon. I knew this was my chance. My chance to be never afraid. Time after time I'd been afraid. I watched him in the distance and I had a choice to make. I could remain my final hours in the haunting moment as the dessert became a frigid and massive coffin or I could scramble my way up those canyon walls and break free into the night. Either way he was safe.
The sun was a sliver behind the western hills and I remained. To my left was my body. They never looked for it just for his. Thankfully before I died I was able to cover him with some material from our wreckage. My body was decayed and chewed. I remained. He was safe.
Time after time I make the choice.
Insanity.
Morning has risen and here they come again to look for him. He's covered and singing his sweet little song. I stand in plain view as they walk him away. My body is just bones now and I remain.
Time after Time.

muscles of the clock
shook me awake, as i neared
the slim margin between dusk
and dawn, having slipped
up - intensity of dread —
soft sunlight alarms the blinds.
i attempt to rise,
entangled in shifting sheets.
dripping sweat from every pore,
my feet meet the floor
and i race to the shower. . .
precariously washing.
hair still soaking wet,
i shift into drive posthaste,
find the highway and i race.
suddenly i slide
to a stop, as the clock stands
in my way, then wakes me up.

*Time after time - repeatedly

Death is all we got at the end.
This makes time my only friend.

Time after time
Rhyme after rhyme
You can take it line for line
Far from difficult to decide
When it came to pride
Another thorn in my side
An ongoing occurence worldwide
You can't bribe
Even if you tried
Never will you become a part of the tribe
Too often you have lied
While you still can, you better slide
Before you get taken out with the tide
That's all good and fine
Go ahead and speak of what is divine
While you preach to mankind
I'm going to climb
And open up my mind
While light and darkness arrives
Events coincide
Whether or not seen with our own eyes
It still may have been incredibly difficult to describe
Time After Time
Sometimes we fight because
we can't seem to find.
The reasons why we hurt
each other time after time.
I know you love me as much
as you know that I love you.
Let's stop the madness
before we find we're all through.
Trust is what we need
and trust needs to be earned.
Let's trust in each other
before our love get's burned.
Let's start all over.
I don't know what else to do.
You already know how I feel.
Don't you love me too?
Time after time
Truth always Prevails
Tis Cheaten heart
time I was having my taxes done
In this room.. quietness spread
Then came this girl..
stood in front of me
Then loudly she said..
Hi! You don't know me
But I know you
I said Really.. you do?
Who are you?
She then smiled.. and said
I am the other woman
I know your husband
I looked at her and said
I am sorry.. You must be mistaken
I am not married
Then she said unto me..
Oh.. ya.. of course
you did just get a divorce
ok.. well I know your X husband
I also know his son..
Very well.. too
see.. I had them both..
you know.. I am good what I do
But I didn't get the pleasure
of having Your only son.. too
I then said.. Oh.. I see..
I knew.. tis Cheaten heart
Truth was already
revealed unto me
That is why.. I took the course
Of giving him a divorce
He wanted to be free..
For God revealed
this man.. his Love was Not for real..
This man never loved me
he just want.. what I had
Tis.. was money
But to do with my son
You shall not have
For my son.. does take after me..
See.. we both are the same
We believe..
The One.. whom your with.. tis all you need
If not.. then you tell them so.. let them go
Then I said.. well I do hope you enjoy
Tis X husband for I no longer am Married to him..
and you can have him and his son too
Then my name was called..
She then said.. Thanks.. I will.. still.. after all
Your X.. He didn't want you
For you are considered to be
Some miss goody to-shoo
For You belong to this..???
one whom you.. think Tis True..
This ??? Jesus Christ..
I don't know.. But you do
I smiled and said.. Yes.. I do..
For With Jesus.. He is Always True..
Never lies.. nor plays games..
He WAS-IS-ALWAY the SAME
Time after time
Truth always Prevails
Come to Jesus.. For He Is The Way.. The Truth.. The Life
Come be saved.. Walk and Follow in His Ways
Always in Love.. Peace.. Hope
Values.. Standards.. Morals.. and Truth
Youth
Every year I live
Lasts an eternity
Must I be treated like a child forever
I speak no one listens
Do sixteen year olds have no rights
I know
I have lived
Adults tell me
"one day you will understand"
"wait till you have kids of your own"
They tell me what to eat
What to wear
When to go
Who I can hang with
When to come home
If only I was a grown up
Things would be so different
The Elder
Every year
Faster than the last
It seems but hours ago I was so young
Living my dreams
The captain of my world
I thought I would live forever
Time is a cruel master
Sapping my strength
Leaving this disintegrating shell
When I speak no one listens
Someone else tells me they know best
They decide what I wear
Who I see
Where I go.
When did I lose control
Why am I treated like a child
My body betrays me
Filled with pain
Each year
Feels like an eternity
It is my time to go
The Dead
This thing I feared
Has finally come
The end is the beginning
I am not scared
A new body was prepared
The energy of youth
Paired with all I have learned
A new beginning
New dreams to live
My Savior promised to forgive
I approach God's throne
Thankfully not alone
Jesus here by my side
On God's face a smile
He says come sit for a while
Today there is no rush
No longer slave to time
It doesn't pass too slow
It won't vanish fast
In fact it no longer exists
Like my old body it has passed a way
In the end God has the final say

our bodies wear out time and again,
but we return to the earthly plane,
our lover friends return they do,,
we meet again fore life is through,
on this you can depend,
magnetic attractions too,
and pre-written is the when......

Yet again, as soon I conquer my mind
The minute I do, new problems do I find
If just for a day that my mind can be at ease
If just for a moment my thoughts I can appease
If just for an hour that I’m not at war with my flesh
If just for a second I won’t believe I’m a disgusting mess
The temptation is there, the desire so strong
Yet I know if I give in, my actions will be wrong
But what else can I do to take the thoughts away
What else can I do when my mind starts to stray
To all of the things people have spoken in the past
What else can I do so those memories don’t last
What else can I do to stop myself from feeling the anxiety
When in all possibilities the damage is caused only by me
I need to be loved and I really need to feel I belong
But in achieving this I feel again my actions are wrong
It’s a bit of a blur, a bit like the art of Spirograph
The way my mind works, sometimes I can but laugh
Not because it’s funny, but if I don’t then I fear that I’ll cry
And I don’t think I would have an explanation if you were to ask me why
‘Why are tears flowing, why do you think what you do
How many more times do I have to say yes I love you
And that no you have not hurt me, neither am I mad
And please stop condemning yourself in thinking you are bad’
So for now I find that I’m still in my turmoil
But the plans of the enemy I know I will spoil
Back & forth
The swing dwindles and fluctuates forever caught in a spiraling breeze
Time & again
TIME AFTER TIME,
I'LL FAKE A SMILE.
TIME AFTER TIME,
I'LL CRY A WHILE.
TIME AFTER TIME,
I'LL THINK OF YOU.
AND EVERY SO OFTEN,
I'LL COME UNGLUED.
BUT EVERY TIME YOU SEE ME,
YOU WALK THE OTHER WAY.
AND EVERY TIME I SAY HELLO,
YOU JUST SIMPLY WAVE.
AND EVERY TIME I SEE YOU,
MY MIND BEGINS TO RACE.
IT TAKES ME TO ANOTHER TIME AND TO ANOTHER PLACE.
AND IT MAKES ME REALIZE THAT I NEVER NEEDED YOU,
AND NOW I KNOW HOW MUCH ITS TRUE.
AND YET TIME AFTER TIME.
I FAKE A SMILE.
TIME AFTER TIME,
I'LL CRY A WHILE.
TIME AFTER TIME,
I'LL THINK OF YOU.
AND EVERY SO OFTEN,
I COME UNGLUED.
AND YET YOU STILL RUN,
AND MY HEART GETS BROKEN.
I KNOW YOU SEE,
WHAT YOUR COLD HEART DOES TO ME.
I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW,
THAT I'M TRYING HARD TO LET YOU GO.
BUT NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY,
I THINK OF YOU,
TIME AFTER TIME.
Time after time
Will cure me
After my own heart killing me
Turning by the time
You won’t still beside me
Maybe it’s not possible
But neither impossible
If you’re really my perfect card
You won’t separate our hearts
Eventhough in your heart
You will fight me
I still believe we won’t be apart
But again, you’ve left me
Time after time
Will cure me
After my own heart killing me
Turning by the time
I still hope you were here with me
Time after time
Curing in the perfect time
Loving you, is like running out of time
Time after time, please cure me…
Time after time the pain happens tears drop you feel emty your heart bruns and the
mind wonders why ... You keep askin what did you do waiting to hear someone tell
you where you went wrong ... Time after time you pick yourself up you brush off
yesterday and the drak clouds it left .. Just to face another day thats no diffrent from
the last ... Time after time sadness comes you see yourself falling apart .. you know
you feel you breath who you are but it slowly sliping away ... Time after time your
standing all alone hoping for that chance praying for change but nothin ever comes..
Time repeats and after it repeats there only one way to stop time ..
Leave the future to chance,
Fate and I will always dance.
Leave the present to me,
Will and I must always be.
Leave the past to time,
Destiny and I shall always rhyme.
"time after time"
somewhere between yesterday and today
time after time this road was traveled
lost in limbo lost in pain lost in a storm
with wrong decisions and unsuitable choices
somehow the fog and path to lost mounted
a new day began as yesterday endlessly shadowed
mind body and soul have been overtaken
such a cloud of darkness took its reign
further and further deeper and deeper
suddenly out of the blue with grace
thoughts cleared as the heart began to beat
somewhere from this day came everlasting sun
