This is about time... duh. It's how I try to fight for that last minture or two. Time goes by so fast when the time is great. Enjoy

"Time Glass"

The aromatic candle, burnin’ it’s wick,
Reminds me of time; the consuming critic.
Hours snicker at us, as minutes do too,
Always limiting us, when something’s due.

Just when you envision, night is still young,
The ticking hand provokes the bells to a’rung.
All we lust for, has been seized by the clock,
Let time proceed; let us carry on our walk.

The clock and I grappled, ‘til the death,
Pieces of time have plummeted to the ground.
Permitting us to tread, upon it’s tattered glass,
We embrace, and dance to the alluring brass.


J.D. Raulinaitis 1/04/01

Wow, i never thought of time as being a struggle like you have described, until now! Way to right a poem that makes you think!

Great timing, jeremy!  Lately I have been doing lots of philosophy about time myself... your opinion and mine are opposite-- the more that I analyze time, the less afraid I am of it.  Strange, perhaps I could share some of my poetry with you about this sometime?
Good poem, it's nice to see such an original topic.

Why race against time when you can work with it?  That's my thought at the moment.  I have to say on a side note, when I read "The aromatic candle" I immediately thought of your other poem   Bathroom Aroma is probably not the poem you wanted to have last in my memory, hopefully it will be gone soon

NIce one jer......very nice.


I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I admire it daily
