Time and Poetry

I CAN'T STOP WRITING!

Time's grains continue down 

And my eyes feel heavy

My heart screams "FIVE MORE MINUTES!"

While my mind sighs

The words won't stop spilling onto this pad

They flow like breezes around me

Bringing relief and strength but make me cold

Like all the emotion is letting go

My anger and past

My love and present

My fears and my future

Father Time taps his foot with impatience

as He continues to wait for sleep to take me as well

He feel frozen here, trapped

Like the seconds never moved

My feelings are rushing and gushing

Like the very blood in my veins as my pen runs

It frolics and dances upon this paper

Maybe the Salsa? Cumbia? or maybe the Cha-Cha?

Yet, as the dances come to a close

So does this piece

Time seems to return and move

The heart feels relief

and the mind, peace

excellent! great word play. I have written pieces like this as well, that talk about writing as a cathartic expression, with the ability to bring relife and peace.

my favorite part:
The words won't stop spilling onto this pad
They flow like breezes around me
Bringing relief and strength but make me cold
Like all the emotion is letting go

Never enough time to do "it" right,
just enough to do "it" over...
