What is time? 
Minutes, hours, days, years? 
Or is it something else? 

***************************

Time – Beginning 
You sitting on a ocean dock. 
Me standing on a mountain peak. 
Separated but never apart 
in unknown space and time. 

Your time - Sacrifice 
Inhaling the smell of death and war,
touching agony and despair. 
Through a open window
finding forgiveness and peace. 

My time - Squandered 
Searching for something 
not knowing what it was. 
Biding my time uselessly 
in marriage unrequited. 

Our time together – Always
Warm embraces, 
teasing kisses,
long slow lovemaking. 
All the passion that is love.

Time - Moments
Past, present, and future 
merged into a single thought. 
And that single thought 
is a single moment. 

***********************************

On ocean docks and mountain peaks, 
you can see infinite stars in the sky. 
And each twinkling star is 
a moment of always. 

Always, my lover. 
I have always been yours, 
and you have always been mine. 

Infinite moments of always. 
In the starry light of love, 
our perfect love.
