Rhyme Time Poems

All that I am I gave away
For just to come and see
The ever-dying summer day
With sunlight through your tree
You’ve gone, but on the record
Your voice...

Your cheeks are tending to the ground
And I’m so slow today
Look at the memory I’ve found
Before it flies away
The lifeline furrow on your palm
Runs through...

We sure had fun, without a doubt
We shared a laugh or two
Who couldn't find a harmony
Who didn't know verse 2
I'll miss those times, they meant...

Time seems to be picking up speed
a freight train without engineer
Hendrix electric guitar on amphetamines.
Time is picking up speed
children born yesterday
wobbling off to college the...

At some point in our lives, we become ACQUAINTED
With the subjects of time and FINALITY.

it's time-consuming heart-breaking
the grass over there don't seem any greener
and from my perspective the streets are meaner

Beginnings 
unending
Each moment
befriends
Untethered
unfettered
Intuity

A cradle where the old dreams sleep.

I watch it wind...

Insular

What’s empty
imprisons
no reference
in space
Where freedom
and choice
become duly
— erased

the sun the wind the surge
childish passions emerge

i hear summer’s call
nothing holds me back
as i swing high and tall

years long spent

Two halves
 from the middle
each end joins the past
Memory’s essence
the moment recast

Each second
or hour
lost victims of fate
 Time off the table
— not early or late
