Time

Blasphemous words sing to me
Of safer times and longer lines
Check out lines
Check them out
And realize you are first in line
For the view...

My disposition deposits depressed dreams
Ravaging hope like so many rapists
Pushing the wet walls of my mind
And forcing, pushing, loving...

I’ll allow it
It will pass
For as all things in the world grow
They grow old

Love to comfort
Hate to compassion
Rape to religion
All things are passing

Can you feel it?

Touch your skin
Tell me you can't feel it passing by
Leaving a trail from your mind
To a little less alone

Caress one so loved and feel it expire
Love cannot last forever
The nature of it denies stability rest
No room at the inn

You two fade
For you too fade as two are reborn
You meld and mingle
And you defy time
And you are in
Love

As a new being
You are not as you once were
Changed and renewed
You touch their skin
And sense the ancient trail
And realize you are alone together

And 'thunder only happens when it's raining
players only love you when their playing'
Lovers only love you when love's making
The passion and perverse pain of passing

The moral dilemma replays in minds
Long lingering in growing lines
Growing old as fast as time
And remembering long spoken rhymes

...Remember when we spent all night talking of memories and inconsistences
I held my breath and looked at neon lights circling above my head
And as the stickers on my fan dance and die in fading light
I though of you, thinking of me

Time is not a barrier
Time is a ruler
Time handles men with heartless fury
For time itself is passing
As love lingers past to renew life
Time after time
