equalizer

funny how time wasted flies by

gone without a trace

entire afternoons evaporate

puddles in the glaring heat of time

don’t blink!

but time wasting away

it crawls

like wishing for sleep to overtake you

before Christmas morning

or anticipating

in those few seconds before her lips meet yours

and then even those moments are

gone

a blur

having passed far too quickly

while painfully dragging by you at the moment

taunting your memory in misperception

love, somehow

transcending time itself
