»Time«

by Maria Sharon Moemise, May 22, 2015

The sign of time is in the heart of the clock
That ticks off the seconds to our destiny
The sign of our destiny is the self inflicted mark
That scars the very being of our identity.
Time...

Life is lived by the code of our own makings
Emotion switched to frivolous uncertainty
The when and the how of carving our lives path
Lies within the reckless abandonment of reality
Time...

Temporal length of an entity's existence...
As the moments happen, as the clocks tick
Time is as we speak... As we define essence
As we make memories, as we defy irresistible logic
Time...

Time is of the essence, we hear it said
Time is timeless...surpassing life's light
From childhood to adulthood, a journey endless
Time's an eternal climb to unscalable heights
Time...

»No«

Cast in concrete, memories of when / I became a woman, forced by men / All I feared became a reality just as / the traces of childhood ran past / / Shadows, wafting a stale sweat smell / Grabbing at me just as I fell / No one heard me shouting, screaming / No! They pushed, breathing, heaving / / A child ran  sign in to read more »

»I Am«

A sample of nature's wonder / Blemished by earth's anger / Pure of heart, without regrets / For that what I seek, I shall beget. / / I'm a child, spawn of earthly nature, / Heavenly designed, God's creature / No care for scars, lines... life's directions / In His image He made us... no imperfections  sign in to read more »
