But if Only Time
Time and time
Again you just slip past me
When I try to catch you
With both of my hands
You leave me to grab
Nothing but empty air
Leave me to try and devour as much as I can,
Leave me further and further behind,
But if only you could just stop.
I just want to grasp hold of you,
And slowly savor every moment
That I can possibly get right now,
Because every moment is precious,
Even right now,
As I cannot return part of you,
To someone.
Because you,
You never stop,
You are like a river
A river that always flows forward,
A river that never goes back,
You are like a bull,
A bull that will only charge ahead,
A bull that will never stop,
You are confident,
And you always convince me
To follow your persevering personality,
You fly faster than anything in this world,
But if only I could go that many times as fast!
I like the introduction and the examples (like the river and the bull) from the third stanza.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the nice metaphors in the poem, and it was very nicely descriptive.
ReplyDeleteAll of your metaphors worked really well, and your very last line was a nice touch at the very end. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteThis poem was really put together in the best way possible. You had a lot of metaphors and it really fit into the poem.
