What time is it?
I'm so confused.
I'm passionate time,
I'm love overused.
What time is it?
I do entreat.
In passionate time,
I'm Love's defeat.
What time is it?
Oh, sweets, do tell.
On passionate time,
I spin and dwell.
What time is it?
I do beseech.
I'm passionate time,
Too far out of reach.
What time is it,
Oh, sir, do say.
In passionate time,
Come dance, come play.
What time is it?
As I drown here,
On passionate time,
Love's season, I fear.

What time is it?
She asks, he does not know,
Love's not measured by hand of clock,
Timelessly, together, shall we grow?

I am bound by this, you see...to become Night's sole mistress, and I am jealous in my endeavours for his attention.

What time is it - too late for me to still be up!!!  Cute poem, but with some poignancy behind it as well.  Indeed, love does not know time.  

And hey - if it's 4:30 here - it's 6:30 there!  What the heck are you doing up anyway?

UP?   thats what they call it, eh? Well..actually I'm down, but writing upwards because its safer that way. I've been writing and reading...writing..reading..OMG..is there anything else? Ohh..and THANK YOU! Thanks for reading this, and thanks for understanding what I was trying to say because I wasn't sure if I understood it myself, yannu? yes..I always try for poignancy because I have been told I have that effect before. Great to see you, Micheal.

Sven,
Sleep? Hell, I'm writing...Thats enough to stop sleep over right? Geesh.. Who needs sleep. I can get a few hours and run on the fumes. It makes for some pretty interesting poetry so far anyways. Come to think of it, food gets in the way of my fingers grabbing my pen or punching my keyboard, so I'm on a diet. Sleep and food diet..ohh..I'm rambing..*looks around to see if anyone noticed* So, I'm glad you are enjoying the flow.


Katleen,
Thanks..Sweet? I dunno, I've been told, but I'm struggling more against it these days, yanno. Glad you liked it!

Deer,
It was after, and that was supposed to be the direction of the poem, but..who knew, right?   Thats what I get for trying to block things out I suppose. *sigh* Thanks for reading.
