Time Goes By

 

Through happiness and sorrows, pain, laughter,

We cherish the moment in the morning after.

We sing we play, we even dance in the rain

Life teaches us lessons, time leaves a stain.

Time slips through our hands like grains of sand.

It passes slowly under no one's command.

Ages gracefully bloom and fade like wildflowers,

Make no promises by the youthful hours.

 

Then day and night, and month and year shall tell.

This we know, and we know fully well.

Time won’t stop, it will march on

leaving behind memories now gone.

 

On The Outside

 

We begin to lose sight of reality

and we start to view just the glam

forgetting that everything

that shine isn't a bar of pure gold.

 

We channel our focus on what’s flashy

by ignoring the simple truth of existence.

Blind by our desire for fame and gold

we don’t realize that our soul has been sold.

 

Who would have known

that even the rust can be gold

if we have a sight of a bigger picture

and eyes to see the beauty in everything.

 

A Woman

 

You are a woman,

a bundle of light

with eyes of a secretive desire.

Are you aware

that even the smell of a peony

fades beneath your beauty?

А rainbow over two impassable mountains,

recoverable truth at the right time.

That’s what you are.

 

Woman – a sparkle on the starry sky.

Silence of the words in the universe.

You are a thought. A double-edged sword

with two lengths of unsaid words.

Do you know

that even the nightingale's song

astounds in front of your sweetness?

You are the Goddess of the sea between two galaxies,

a melodic accord of the sleepy violin.

Splendid hyacinth garden.

And a vivid fire, still not charred.

 

My imperfect perfection!

And while trying to write verses of you,

I’ve copied myself on a piece of paper.
