For those who live day-to-day

She lay, lonelier than a stone,
hoping for company, any
company, but the only 
visitor was Father Time,
come to say Goodbye.

Master will charge

That oft fills these old eyes with tear?

On the day assigned by the father time;
The end words of lines will no longer rhyme,
The stars won’t shine and the world will rupture.

There once was a man called Old Father Time.
He rang in the New Year with a great chime,
	He pushed the old out,
	brought new without doubt,
and promised a new year purely sublime.

Father Time

Cloud of dreams, rushing past, spiraling
Clocks ticking, time running out, soaring
Sitting in patriarch chair, reclining 
In blanket enclosure, thinking, dreaming 
Old Father Time, paradise waiting

Premium Member The Door Is Closing

Haven't finished what I've started
  I'm running low on fuel
So much left unaccomplished
  Father Time, you're too cruel 

I feel the door closing
  My life nears its end
Dare my work I set aside
  My relationships to mend
Form: Rhyme

Time Is of the Essence

If time would let me change the past,
I’d live a perfect life.
No matter how I messed it up.
I’d tidy up the strife.

But sequence has a purpose,
so I’m told by father time.
To have something from here on out,
all change must form a line.

Insomnia

I cannot sleep through the night,
I am an insomniac,
All my thoughts come to life,
And stab me in the back,
I try to think like normal people 
But all that comes to mind
Is that we are ticking time bombs 
In the hands of Father Time.

As Father Time _ Poseidon watch

A whole new era__ blessed golden life

Premium Member Lost Shangri-La

lost,
remote
shangri-la;
peaceful eden
razed by mother nature and father time.
the paradise we once knew, so far gone;
it will return
only if 
you come
back.

Premium Member Gold With Diamonds

When I was younger
Time was money

Fancy clothes and romance

Now, it is one day less;
Every additional gift
Of sunrise
an immeasurable wealth

No longer with Time on
My side, try as I may
(my old Rolex sighed)

From Father Time, nothing 
Can really hide --
