Time's Short

Sorry for not posting in a while, but I have been pressed for time lately. So like my next poem time is short...

Time's Short

My life is short

Shorter than I could know

I wish that would change

but I don’t have much time

I don’t want to have any regrets

I don’t want to be sad

And I don’t want to be a lonely man

That’s why I need to find you

Time’s short

That’s all I really know

But if I spend it with you

I know I wouldn’t have a single regret

I wish

I wish life was as simple as 123

I wish everything was spelled ABC

And I wish our melodies could be Do Re Mi

Because in that world you would be with me

I wish I could meet one person everyday

I wish I could have 1,000 friends around the world

And I wish I could date a different person every time

So I can be sure that I will meet you someday

I wish I could see the world and all its beauty

I wish I could see a miracle in this modern day

And I wish I might be able to see the greatest faces of our time

So then when I see you I will know your beauty is truly unmatched

I wish I could expunge everything bad about me

I wish I was able to change the way I look

And I wish I could change the way I sit in the corner and wait for you

So then I will be the perfect man for my perfect woman one day

Even if things are not simple, that is what makes it fun

Even if I never find you, I will spend my life searching anyways

Even if I can’t see the world, I know your beauty will still be unmatched

And one day when I am the perfect man for you, I know you will enter my life

Final Moments

Final Moments

They were surrounded, him and his family

There was only one way out, one chance to survive

There was one thought in his head, to save those around him

With the grenade in his hand, and the thought in his head

He ran, as fast as he could, racing time

As thoughts passed through his head, he remembered good times

Times of sorrow, times of pain, times of joy

But most of all he remembered

The time he fell in love

He fell in love with his wife, his kids, his life

Still running he pulled the pin, to the grenade in his hand

He yelled “I Love You”

Then one last thought crossed his mind

As he dived to cover the last bit of ground

He remembered who he was saving

He smiled as he was immersed in light

The last light he would ever see
