Hourglass Requiem

Posted by StarF68 - July 23rd, 2008


I'll wait for her forever...

Hourglass Requiem

A pen and paper and a lot of time to kill, so often found in this situation
That now the words just come naturally to me without any hesitation
A metphor here, a similie there, but the pen hates when I use personification
So I stick to what I know, which is a simpleton's flow, no room for complication
When I look up to the clock and I observe it so long, it seems to mock my waiting
"A virtue," I tell it, patience wearing thin, the murder of sand so frustrating
For an hour this glass has been counting the past, and I've flipped over so many ticks
But alas the clock seems to be giving the finger, I still laugh at your endless tricks
I must be going crazy because the hands sit so still, just about 360 rotations to go
And that's not even the finish line, I'm losing my mind because it's still moving so slow
The calender; the accomplice of the clock, so many victims to speak of in my trial
I killed all that time, and after all just to find that I'm still going to be waiting awhile
"For what?" you may ask, well when enough time has passed I'll have finally found perfection
Been lost for so long, shoulda turned right; I was wrong, the map guided me the wrong direction
So I gave it to the wind, with the destination pinned, I laughed as I roamed through with no guide
And when enough time has died I will finally find that the land of happiness is where I reside
The journey I speak of has no definitive movement, I'm still sitting with a paper and pen
And I remember times of perfection; dejavu in the making, it'll be great eventually just as it was then
Don't get me wrong, I've know the future all along, clairvoyance was always a gift
And even though things have changed, a couple details rearranged, the paradigm has yet to shift
The last ingredient is time, so wont the clock be benign? I'd like to retire this dagger
But when I wave the white flag it fires back with a bang, and the shock of it causes me to stagger
Oh you crafty enemy, you think your so clever with your ultimate advantage to me
But the one thing you lack is a counter-attack to this bombshell I've got now you see:
I'll be waiting forever, and I'll never say never, just to get to the girl with the power
Hex of perfection, guidance with no direction, glass shattering with every passing hour


Comments

I'll leave the first comment :)

Why thank you.

Now if I could just get some useful comments. XD

My favorite line: "... And even though things have changed, a couple details rearranged, the paradigm has yet to shift."

Allow me to respond:

I see your persuit and I see your perfection,
But it's left me disputing your lack of reflection.
Though, I'll freely admit that I like the direction
of the thoughts you submit for my introspection.

I can't help but wonder who it is you're waiting for;
if perfection, your blunder: man always wants more.
So when you find the woman to antithesize your bore
keep in mind my ill-omen on this user page of yours.

It's not that you can't love for who someone is,
it's that you'd, askant, see a 'Miss' when it's 'Ms.'
So you understand if I'm loving the irony: 'tis
how you'll wait endlessly--be an hourglass whiz.

Why thank you so much, this reply is appreciated
As before all of them are, this much I have stated
But yours more than normal, I enjoyed then contemplated
The words that you left upon this poem I've created

The girl in question is no mystery, I know her quite well
Countless numbers of memories and endless stories to tell
The past a conundrum, it didn't end all too swell
But thanks to new circumstances, for her again I fell

Forewarning to myself: distance puts a stopper on this
For how can we survive when there's 600 miles between our kiss?
Though I can't help myself from waiting because I know love exists
But I do keep on wondering: What if I fall victim to the abyss?

Once again I must say, thank you so much for your insight
But I think I'm going to bed, I'm too tired to think right
And I have to get up early, so at least I'll rest easy tonight
Until tomorrow when I will be forced to surrender to the light!
