In Good Time

All in good time, dear. All in good time.
For it tugs relentlessly at our heels
Settling scores for every moment lost
Amid those crumpled sheets we leave behind

All in good time, dear. All in good time.
I'll catch up with our two-dimensional dreams
Be more than a silhouette for you to love
Be what you hide in your whispered rhymes

All in good time, dear. All in good time.
I'll taste the cravings of your naked soul
Scarring the infinities that say "it can't be so".
While I wait for the next-in-line.

Note:
Writing a crudely structured rhyming piece after a very long time. I hope the last line caught you off-guard. And I also hope you cannot decide who the actual speaker is.

Love can be as glorious as it can be fickle, right? :)

  1. Yes that final line caught me unaware.. and it can mean a lot of things really.. I really find it be a little sad.

    1. It is indeed, sad. Love is one of the things that is so powerful that one cannot really comprehend how it can be as transient as anything else. It transforms so freely that we sometimes have difficulty keeping pace with it. But that it just how I perceive it.

      Thank you for stopping by! :)

  5. That last line caught me so off-guard I had to go back and start from the beginning again just to see how I missed it coming! Great job.

  7. Oh yes, I caught the twist! And I love the ambiguity of the speaker's identity.
