Stormy PoeticJustice
25 July 1999
Fickle Beast
With you time passes
too quickly.
Minutes become hours;
time is my enemy.
It comes stealthily
to steal you away
too fast,
but won’t bring you back
soon enough.
Time is a fickle beast.
Without you,
time drags on;
an endless monotony
where colors are dull
and the sun is cold.
The space between
your arrival and departure
is a too-small blanket
that leaves my feet cold.
How desperately
I want more of you.
