Your name rolls easily off my tongue,
Into the air,
My hands seem shaky as if grabbing
Something that isn’t there
What is this that I feel?
An opinion that has never been modified
A certain dose of patience
Never before known, yet always denied
It’s the subject of time
That fills my mind
It’s the questioning of time
That leaves us behind

I see you sit and ponder alot, 'eh?  That's good...
Very interesting insight into the thing that gets us all....TIME.  Not enough of it for sure...I am a dreamer, so it's my worst enemy I fear.  LOL     I spend so much time thinking through what I'm going to do, I hardly even get started on a darn thing!  hehehe  Geat poem!

HOW did I miss this one earlier???
wow... all that "flirting" must have distracted me from my stalking...see what you've started... LOL
this one is shows your reflective moments their best... I love the last lines...
stalking you always..jm



 ...every moment of every day...
your still with me in every way.
every poem and song...
every rhyme and verse...
your still here...like a beautiful curse.

Excellent my friend. . . "Time" does lots of things. . . I think that you have found the one thing that we all overlook. . .

Wonderful words. . .
