Setting life’s metronome
to feed on the rotations of my soul,
whilst my body stays open,
and exposed,
aroused by ancient sun…
Yet moments become seamless
as my spirit longs
to become borderless
It is not
my trimmings,
my greediness,
or my beauty of gold
that evokes your burning need
It is only my shadow that you seek…
You intertwine your life
into mine
as I try to elude your wantonness,
and flee the sun
to hide and be left peaceful
in yet another night…
Sunbeams drown
as the heavens close down,
my burning body is lathered
by blue moonlight,
hiding my shadow in the
dying cinder of the light
Safe and one with Darkness
as he surrounds me
as he comforts me
as he heals me
and I become his for the night…
I will shun your luring gaze
to stay safe,
be rocked into sleep
until a new day starts my ancient repeat,
running away from the sun’s blinding light,
trying to break free and let my spirit take flight
away… away… I will try again to go….
Stuck in this place by your need
to keep yourself intact
What would you be
without your humble beginnings?
without me as your foundation?
You would not exist
within your own ageless journey
Yet you will haunt me
through time
into the continuum of space
For what are you really
TIME
without me: The sundial that gave you your face….?
