a time that doesn't exist

as i write this,
i am in a time that doesnt exist
each word that is said
each verse that is read
is in a time that is dead.
from each moment to the next
i am in a time that doesnt exist
am i a part of your reality, or are you a part of mine?
or are we each just figments, of one cognitive mind?
as i wonder what to write next, the clock ticks, yet i know
i am in a time that doesnt exist
there is no future
there is no past
there is only death,
in a time that doesnt exist

wow! this is a different side to you! I love this one, you choose interesting concepts for your writing, its refreshing to read something out of the ordinary. Time is an odd concept when you get thinking about it and can take you on many tangents. I like the flow of this one too, and your word use is more fluent...Keep em comin' ;-)

[MikeV]

Thank you! I actually wrote this for a contest when i first found this site
i took first :)

[TrimarcoRansome]

I can see why! Well done!

[L.Edward]

Yeah, this ones a thinker alright. Some very fine muse indeed.

[MikeV]

Thank you so much! I have an obsession with time :)

[L.Edward]

You dont have any Mayan ancestry by any chance, do you? The Mayans were obsessed by time. The could measure it to sixteen decimal places. A feat only achieved in modern times with the advent of the atomic clock.

[MikeV]

Not that I know of, but the thought amazes me. I'm so obsessed with time that I probably do though

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

Greatly penned! Amazing. Good flow of thought. I love the parallelism. Great job, Mike.

[MikeV]

Thank you Blue! I'm so glad you enjoyed :)

IN ALL TRUTH YOU ARE CORRECT...TIME DOES NOT EXIST...ITS A UNIT MEASUREMENT...TO KEEP US EARTHLINGS ON CHECK...EACH DAY YOU WATCH THAT CLOCK TICK AWAY THE SECONDS..MINUTES...AND HOURS...WHAT THEY FORGET TO TELL YOU...IS THAT 4 MINUTES OF YOUR EXISTENCE IS GONE EACH DAY BEFORE YOU EVEN WAKE UP...HARD TO IMAGINE...BUT TIME DOES NOT EXIST...SO WHY HAVE SUCH A THING...AGAIN TO KEEP THINGS IN ORDER...AND A SENSE OF PACE AND ROUTINE...

[MikeV]

Thanks for the review! I think if we were to take time away
we would realize that there's nothing to fear. All time does is make
us think we are getting old and closer to death.

[Glen Yumang Manese]

LIFE AND DEATH ARE CONNECTED...YOU SIMPLY CLOSE ONE DOOR AND OPEN ANOTHER...THIS SHELL YOU CALL A BODY IS JUST THAT A SHELL...YOU OUT GROW AND REFORM INTO ANOTHER...YET YOUR MEMORY IS ERASED AND BEGIN A NEW JOURNEY...CALLED LIFE OVER AGAIN...

[MikeV]

I agree, i actually believe we are all one. You're me and I'm you
we just have different shells and different up bringings but we are still one

[Glen Yumang Manese]

AS I ONCE HAD A DISCUSSION WITH SOMEONE...IS GOD THE WHOLE BEING AND WE ARE JUST THE INSIDE OF A COMPLETE UNIVERSE...IF YOU LOOK AT THE SPECTRUM...THE WAY EVERYTHING RECREATES ITSELF...ALWAYS DEVOURING ONE THING AND REFORMING INTO OTHER THINGS...THE PROCESS JUST KEEPS GOING AND GOING...

[MikeV]

I think we are God, well a piece of him actually
I see God as a giant pie with a never ending amount of slices
Each slice put into our shells to experience life in its many aspects

[Glen Yumang Manese]

ditto...i hear you there...

[SyberRose]

We have to live each day to the fullest as time flys by so fast...you will be a grandfather before you know it haa...my teenage son made me a grandmother when I was thirty eight...wasn't that nice of him haa...:)

thank you Aziz Luther and Tay! Tay, my ocd makes me very aware of time, and it's non existence.
Aziz Luther, all I can say is, I loved that movie and for you to put my poem in the same category as it, thank you.

[Tay]

Wow, I have so many thoughts on this. Very controversial poem. Well done!!

[Aziz Luther]

I like this poem. I don't know why it reminded me of FIGHT CLUB.
