cling to itJuly 1, 2015

 

I can’t make this sun stand still, delay what ahead of us must lay to not embrace while we still may, leaves us with nothing to celebrate.

I would spend a century praising what I see, and fight off mortality’s inevitable steed, to admire your mouth, your eyes, your breasts wishing for an eternity for each, leaving still all the rest, hurried as the winged chariot hurries at our heals, this fate determined to catch us wherever we go, despite all it is we feel, this need to have now what we won’t have later, to choose love over all, as our fate hovers, threatening to catch what is ageless, love a figment of our fertile imagination, a myth we cling to for to lose it we lose all, and never see love come again, and life without love is not living, so we cling to it now and hope we can hold on, if not for an eternity, then until we can cling no more
