is a tick
a click
a thing to stomp on
a wanting word
a glance from a loved one
a twitch who takes no quarter
and cares not if you need water or beer or sugar
time is a wish
we all embrace over a cake
where we look wide eyed to a thing called the future
then look at the room and know right where we are
time will wear you down
time will build you up
time will allow you to hold her in your arms
and feel her warm skin as long as you can
but time will tap you out
and make your woman pout
time is a fake
it\'s here and then it\'s naked
open and willing
smiling beguiling
saying she\'ll be there for you
honor you and support you
take a bullet for you
and bear your children
TIME is a beast
unquenched and forever
as if that is something you want
but you do
for time is you
a beast who wants it all
and will bust the mystery she laid
upon your mother\'s grave
no fair you say
then all the sand drops in the base
to nail the dream and set the pace
of slow dominion lords who know
they rule the roost forever
TIME I forbid you to rush my tempered walk.
to trip my practiced talk
I abhor you time
always
I am the one who orders this tempo
not you, you ghoul, you think you are so cool
but as that may be
it is me who holds the hand
for if I turn to sand
then your best achievement
blows away again
and again
