time yoyo







June 26
Time Yoyo



days slow

years fast

minutes drag

hours drop

faces appear unseen

fate knocks loud

a day of stretched expectation

ends in a broken joy knot

miracles no longer suffice to elate

thrills quick cut to brain freeze

skins unfold to surgical smoothness

an unfulfilled dream

eats into day light

time teases

leaving faint fingernail marks

on the ageless glass of longing

the weary face grins

into the mirror

of happiness and despair

time shows no tear
