OUR
TIME WILL COME
Each
second an hour
Each
hour like a day,
Our
stolen moments across the waves
Just
prolong the pain.
I
want to be like a killer
When
the last day arrives,
The
final hours on this earth fly away
With
the walk to eternity over quickly,
How
I wish our day
Could
end with such haste
Only
our heaven will be on earth.
I’ll
chase the stars through the sky
I’ll
hurry the moon to rise,
Just
to be with you
My
love across the sea
Our
time will come.
I want
the seasons to overlap
With
snow resting on a summer rainbow,
With
birds raising broods in winter
I want
Christmas everyday
Believe
me darling
Our
time will come.
I’ll
lend a hand to father time,
I’ll
shake the hand of the clock
Sing
happy birthday to it daily
Hoping
to see his face age
I’ve
lived a thousand lifetimes.
Our
time will come
Of
that I am sure,
Then,
let’s turn the sun to stone
Hold
it fast in the sky,
When
we love one another
It’ll
be till my dying day.
I’ll
make each day feel like a lifetime
Full
of cherished memories,
Our
time is soon here
It
only feels so long
Without
you
Our
time will come
Then
all time will stop
Just
for us.

Mr. Hall, this is imbued with a depth and a certainty that causes the deepest wells to feel shallow and the most patient mountains to question their own resolve. Very well done, good sir.
ReplyDeleteA sense of yearning and desperation to fight the hands of time to make them yield to your plea. Top marks Phil. Does she exist this lady across the seas ??
ReplyDeletePhil, you have out done your own best. i love the passion and certainty that this love has. i believe it is a love for the ages, across oceans and continents. a love to endlessly cherish. i have a hope that i will love like this, in this life or the next, whatever my fate is. this poem took away my doubts and fear, i am going to be fine and live forever.
ReplyDeleteI love how it ends ( i can't stop smilling) and i look foward for that time :)
ReplyDeleteSomewhere across the sea, somewhere waiting for me
ReplyDeleteMy lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing...............................................
And that's all I have to say. I second Kim and Yobial
such pure yearning and love
ReplyDeletethis is wonderful
