Matter Of Time Poems - Poems about Matter Of Time

It’s just a matter of time
Uncle Eugene’s breaking down. Murmurs come from the room down the hall - Surgery. Blood clot. A third kind of cancer. “It’s just a matter of time.” But for now, I’m laying by the fire, warmth seeping into my bones. My grandparents are alive, one falling into incoherence, but not bad yet. My mother is here. My father is upstairs. We are under one roof. And I...

A Matter of Time
How could I believe you would stay when people only leave? Loss after loss, I begin to not grieve. But how could I be relieved when you left when I began to cleave? I became terrified of what I preconceived. It had become my own philosophy, maybe a self-fulfilling prophecy. So I couldn't help but smile when you walked away, because the tormenting wait was no...

Tick tock, tick tock, goes the clock As time passes by, we cannot stop Life moves forward, never standing still Changing and growing, at its own will We try to hold on, to each precious moment But they slip away, like sand in a moment One day we are young, full of life and charm The next we are gray, with no...

Matter of Time
I've been living in the same place for seven years now and I haven't changed one iota. I try to run away, find a new home and maybe you. I found that God didn't want me to leave forever, better things maybe waiting for me somewhere, maybe near my beach. If daydreaming is a sin why should...

Whenever I’m alone, As usually I am these days, I make room to acknowledge The weight of my own presence By minding the tide of my breath. It flows in on a four-count With the ease of deliberate intent Advancing toward its seawall limit. It flows out on an eight-count Revealing a beachcomber’s dream. In that moment my mind...

It's just a matter of time before you are mine I already realize that you love me so I see it in your eyes you think I wouldn't know No more shy lies It's time for you to show My feelings for you are sublime playing games we wasted time Take my hand and be with me whatever happens let it be For in my...

Premium Member A Matter of Time,
In a way to past this day in pleasure, I guessed to calculate time by measure, I stood in front of a door that opened, Walked through, closed behind me, it unfolded, When sixty seconds stood at my command, Gave them directions and quickly disband, ***32,616,001 minutes commanded full-filled since my birth, 62 years, 5 days ago. 2019 September 08 Life Poetry Contest Sponsored...

If by chance you look at me. Please look closely, for you may see. Someone different in front of you. With a new much improved view. I am feeling more and more, like the person I was before. The one who would laugh and sing. And just for fun, try any new thing. The burden I have carried with me. Is gone now,...

A Matter of Time
C-omplete triumph is in sight, R-ight path you tread on; Y-ou sense the bright light, S-eeing the rising beacon. 'T-is just a matter of time, A-nother win is coming by; L-ove, faith, and hope fill the tenth of July. C-omplete success is in view, A-fter beating the dirt and grime; B-ig reward will be given, I-t's only...

Just a Matter of Time
Grief stricken days. My depressed ways. Love never stays. My depressed ways. Beyond the shadows that mirk lifelessly towards my essence, I knew it was just a matter of time before I would break.Too young to die. Too old to cry. Babies cry in need and I cry out of desperation. Babies cry for love and I cry for...
