Killing Time

Moving forward...
the hands
of time, out in
front, blocking
and opening
Carefully stepping
to maneuver through
land mines
of deception
Ticking
past another
memory
Another moment
when your smile
flashed
and
blinded me to
what wasn't
really
there


"...I am a river in winter,
quiet in the eyes of most
but deep,
swift and full of life
to one, lucky enough to fall through the ice.

I am still thinking about the last line....
"and blinded me to what wasn't really there"
That is a great line......the whole poem was great!!

It's amazing how that old cliche once burned twice shy still applies. Not that I like cliches very much but this is a very clever write and you got your feelings across in such a wonderful poetic way....take care  ethome

wow snow loved the poem, all great lines, if I was forced to piece a fav bit though it would be

Carefully stepping
to maneuver through
land mines
of deception


wish I had wrote that.

There's a feeling of contentment Now that you are here I feel satisfied I belong
inside Your velvet heaven" Depeche mode
