Time Zone by Maxboy at All poetry

We were born in a

Different time zone

Not just the time of day but all

The years my youth was sown

Now that I have found you

I am still so alone

Because we are in

The wrong time zone

~

Now here you are

An adult barely grown

Way off in the future

Is my time zone

When you finally

Reach where I am

I will be gone

To my eternity

~

When you have finished

Sowing all your youth

And reach your eternity

I will be there with open arms

Then we will be

In love and not alone

When we finally reach

The same time zone

Not too bad. I quite like it, although I found it a bit repetitive. Nonetheless it is a high quality poem and I am pleased you have entered it into my contest.

Aw, this poem is so sad. But the ending, that you will wait, its such a sweet though. What a shame none of these have given you a shiny gold yet.

Best of luck!

This poem is very interesting. It sounds like an older person, probably about 40 or 50, in love with a younger person, probably about 18 or 19. I'm not too fond of those type of romances, but I'm going to look past that.
I don't really fancy romance poetry, mostly because I think most people write generic love poems that don't have any real emotion attached to it. This one, however, has some real emotions in it. It's very loving, but also very sad at the same time.
Thanks for entering!
