Poem 25: What Time is It?

What time is 1t?

twelve o'clock
time will not stop
if i can see the sun

one o'clock
we will still talk
with nothing I can prove

two o'clock
i'm part of the flock
“just listen, you'll agree

three o'clock
today the lame walk
still the power from before

four o'clock
on this solid rock
so i'll never cease to strive

five o'clock
my faith will not drop
too much for me exists

six o'clock
you may think i'm off
in time we'll get things straight

eight o'clock
I broke though my lock
- now freedom is mine
it all took some time...

like, seven o'clock
which just got missed
but I won't kiss away
my ticket, for one more 'good' time

nine o'clock
I've never stopped
I have better times
then I did back then

ten o'clock
I just looked at my watch
& found wasted hours for heaven

eleven o'clock
as fast as a fox
don't let the time run out.

Poem 31: Waiting

Waiting You stand, at the door of myself. You wait, knowing I know. You heard, my voice acknowledge... But now, there's no sight of me. ...
