Timeblind.

Life is a love we cannot measure
Love is a life we do not treasure
Time will give, then time will take
all of your life away in its wake
But the gift of life is short lived by some
Especially the one whose life is boredom
Who has a poker-face and bears no smile
and tries to believe life just aint his style
Down on his luck, all hope seemed lost
Into the sea his own life he tossed
Sunken into the depths of his mind
Told by the deaf to follow the blind
All the while he was just lost in time
Trapped in a box just like a mime
No wonder he never found meaning in life
He never looked beyond his emotional strife
If only he'd walked through the doors of perception
He'd see for himself, pain was his own deception
But now its too late for he knows only sorrow
Hes lost in time and caught by an undertow
Hes pulling himself back from a life he could know
Because hes afraid of what he doesnt already know.

That is a very nice and interesting poem ... I think that it can be applied at too many people of this world unfortunately ... not trying to see and seek what's nice and kind, maybe this poem will make some of them react.

Thank you for sharing FriedPiper.

thanks carefriend

Ahhh very true and beautifully expressed

Very creatively put. There are so many of these people. I'd say the majority of the world.

Another line that really pulled at my heart strings. "told by the deaf to follow the blind" Society is so blind to the important things in life.

You are a great poet. What inspires you? I really hope to hear more from you. Your poetry is so real. Deep without trying too hard to be deep. I love it! It is absolutely beautiful! Thanx for sharing
