Queuing freedom for laterA Poem by J.A.BentleyA question I ask myself.When did I start to mark these moments These heartbeats with increments Fragmented, and segmented With denominators of time? Shall I, master of…., draw the lines Between the here and now And the then and theres? When did I complicate my simple, and effortless breathes to now march within the timestamps and expand within the timeframes? Let the boundaries be rocked! Let the time fabric be shamed! It’s time to leave and cleave, baby! Let there just be me. But… How did I dam up the continual wisps? The continual time drifts And bar them from one another Separated and smothered With my designs, the enemy’s lies. What is the pattern to the steps, To forgetting my past regrets, To only remember to look forward And never give the enemy quarter? Lord come. Here’s the cry The line has been drawn A far time away. Let the past, and the seeping wounds lay To the ground, forever to stay. © 2013 J.A.Bentley |
