although
our love died
my hopes will linger 
stubborn and destined to fail
until the sands of time blast her from my mind

The sands of time

Sand castles

Sand is the word

Inexplicable

To seemingly mold

Itself into time

We are Sand...

Sweet Eternity

These cruel sands of time ...
how they try to torment so.
And yet this true love,
It patiently defies them.
Into sweet eternity.

lost and blind
                                the sands of time
    
                                    lack gravity

Waves call out in song,
Sea breeze teases sunlit hair—
Sands of time await.
Flip-flops mark our path to peace,
Horizon holds dreams aloft.

	All ‘red lines’ erased by the sands of time

           Cross them off one-by-one

Premium Member A Brief Nexus in Time

what will quench this thirst, this lust

and will I have the time I must

the sands of time are cruel, unjust

as time just crumbles sand to dust

Life-Short-

Innocence never had the chance,
youth flew by like a passing glance...
Looking through the hourglass,
The sands of time are fleeting as we all are sleeping...

you let love slip through your fingers
where you once held the key
now you're haunted with regret
and have nowhere else to flee

mama taught me 
not to drag my feet 
as i walk through the sands of time
a thirsty soul might come looking
and find their way 
to the watering hole

The sands of time
swirl about the streets
fleeing sunset
fearful of a darkness
looming in each daybreak.

TIME 
Hourglass
Sands of time

Day and night in turns
The sun takes its exit
The moon awakes from its sleep

“Closer we're to the end of days.”

Premium Member Sifting Sands

   Treasuring every moment left
     waking hours become minutes
       become seconds, sands of time 
     sifting through our fingers and
       the very sinews of our beings

Intangible Longing

Intangible longing
Of a fullish heart
For things past
That have been lost
To the sands of time 
Never to be reborn 
Never to be revisited
Gone 
Dead 
Past away
Never to be resurrected

Words I Remember

written 12 feet high
words i remember well
when i cast my words back
i was just a child
a glint in my fathers eye
across the sands of time
I am now part man
obey fortitude
a summons to recall

Burning sun over lands
Solar pun with dancing strands
Across the lands, memoirs of time
History of lands, sands of time
Men of history, written in rhymes
Like poets in line, with leaf olive and thymes

Winter

Winter. Where all dreams are frozen and
an old friend (enemy) creeps in. 
Like the sands of time, constant;
Timely with energy,
hoping to steal what 
you have: joy, dread,
love or hate. 
Silent
Cold.

Time

As the sands of time 
pass through my hands
I realize it waits for 
no person nor their plans
We pass through this life
in the blink of an eye
and at times it seem that 
we are only born to die

Sands of Time

Stones and Sands
Sanity on the rise 
Path in waves 
Foot steps onto hill
Freedom at will 
Drums in heart 
Pounding ill
When thee don't take to heel 
On these sands and stones 
Thy life shall'nt be lived

Troubled

Sands of time under my feet;
guide me through week to week.
Worries I try to put behind, chase me through my drowning mind.
These troubles never seem to pass;
but maybe one day;my troubles will be gone at last.

Premium Member Beached Memories

It keeps rolling in
soft waves slowly returning
the flotsam and jetsam
of a fading life
shredded
during a forgotten journey
seeking to follow
long erased footprints
through the ever-shifting
sands of time
