Loving you
Has a way
Of twisting time
Without you
Minutes creep
Seconds stretch out
Lazy and slow
A cat in the sunshine
8 days sprawls out heavy
Into 8 decades
Near you
Time sprints
Dashing and rushing
Helter skelter, here and there
Slipping out of my grasp
Days spinning past me
With the ferocity
Of a lion
Persuing a gazelle
