Empty time frame

Empty time frame

A Poem by Alexandria


Circular pool of water,

The time frame is  so empty

It's so much slower than I anticipated it to be.

There's wind in my favor

but the sun poses against me.

Time is putting me on trial as I stare off into my reflection

The tiny ripples of water blurs my face... I see someone else

Someone else looking into my eyes

someone with sadistically evil eyes

and a choppy grin that makes me shiver.

How long do we stare at the clouds until we notice its shape?

Dragon, to heart, to tall sky scrapers, all with the same form

of cotton candy , soft white, purple and grey.

Most are blinded by ignorance, but I'm blinded by freedom and fear.

The wind have lost me and now Its just the sun and I with an empty time frame

and a circular pool of water.

I ponder on weather birds take advantage of their beauty to fly.

When I'm sitting staring at my reflection like a tiny ant, a blasting ray of sun shining down on me as if I was an angel , painting a picture. Tiny beads of sweat drip down my forehead, wetting my hair so gently, if only I could fly I could beat down the empty time, and I could win over the sun.

Oh Amazing !! Intellect and poignancy, you have both. I love your style of writing.
"Time is putting me on trial as I stare off into my reflection", "How long do we stare at the clouds until we notice its shape?" - These are great lines, really great ones. I love the concept of beating time. I thought you refer to winning over the sun because the earth revolves round it to form a year ( sense of time) but it need not be a scientific jargon. A poem based on a circular pool of water is metaphorical, deep & really AWESOME. Cheers !!

P:S I noticed a couple of minor spelling typos. You may change that
