LIVING WITHOUT TIME

LIVING WITHOUT TIME

A Poem by Robert Robbie Lord Dudley

deprivation, living without time

seeking hope 

so cut a path, so put a road

so set the hands of the clock

back a-pace under the bow

hanging a string

a pointless destination

 

standing stock still

and stranded far

ripping up now apart

will be waiting

on its tracks scattering in dust

never moving forward

never moving backward

direction discover

your course

 

deprivation, living without time

seeking hope

for reasons there are none

just a few count

I will float, I will load

I will fly, I will do precise

every piece of it

a dark entrance

a empty space

in my heart 

 

conscience in sunken silence

constantly in me

striking the surface

of the problem

in the nick of time

in either ways

 

don't try to defy

don't try to deny 

to perfection

the great strain

the great drain

the great black hole

the great no return 

I will carry on

the elevator is going up

sinking into the shell

of the metal I'll go

make it there myself

bang, closes

 

deprivation, living without time

seeking hope

I cry there inside a-note

a-new song

I been hanging on the moon

too long in my life

believing i'm doing something

but i'm doing nothing

anyone can do this

anything you wish

 

with not a word to say

slipping silently away

with not a word to say

slipping silently away

 

there's a spark

there burns

in the dark

i can see it

suffered a freedom

that could be mine

in my heart
