Time (2006)

Reluctant Time, cruelly you drag winged feet
While lovers ache in slow motion.

Impatient Time, you flee when bodies are joined,
Like the half-seen flash of a falling star on water.

Greedy Time, when I am with her,
You devour the night that I would savor slowly.

Elusive Time, shapeless yet tangible,
You are sand between my helpless fingers.

Precious Time, your treasures are mine;
I steal your moments to hold forever.
