Molasses

I have been VERY impacient lately. It seems as if school has been really long and I just can't wait for summer. It's so close! Sorry I haven't been writing a lot, I've been focusing more on my artwork and tons of studying for exams and stuff.

 

Another needle in my back

Hurry up time!

So much to do

Pause of eternity

Time unchanging

Finlay the second passes.

Another small black needle

Slowly inching its way into my back

Time like Molasses

Drop of blood frozen in ice

The ice of time!

It seems so far away

The time that just would not stay

The quick needles would prick

But, they would be unnoticed

Even the droplets of blood

Too fast for details.

Now all is still

Every detail noticed

All the drops of red liquid seen

The needles now felt.

The new life coming so soon

Yet it comes slowly

How can something so soon be so long?

Impatience now causing the needles to quiver

All of my muscles tense

Let me move!

Soon this break of time will be gone

It shall be mobile once again

Soon it shall be alive

The needles will be unnoticed once more

The chance to move on will be in sight.

I like this. I like how you describe time moving so slowly. I know what that feels like! Great poem! Well expressed!
