I lie naked next to Time,
His fingers gently entwined with mine,
I kiss his chest softly,
"You must want me awfully,"
He chuckles, as I mumble sweetly,
Of how I love him so completely,
I treasure his perfect gifts,
Of seconds, minutes, hours, and how they shift,
I tell him to surrender,
And give me a few days more splendour,
But alas it was not to be,
For all the years he had already given me.

Your feedback helps naaviie understand what's working
23, Vegetarian, (insanely busy) Vet student pondering about love, life and dragons.
"I'm that shape in the shadows, Your worries and fears, That smog in your nightmare, The pain in your tears, I'm the thief of your heart, Your shuddering shiver, I'm that icy cold breeze, I make you...
The pale skin is tightened, Pulled across the shattered bones, Wrapped around the once pure veins in vain, Of shielding from the stones.
Am I in the back of your mind. Do you think I follow behind. Are you scared of my presence. Worried of my sour essence. I'm here to take your friends away, Starting with the eldest, day by day.
The delicate veil between life and death Flirt with one another under heavy breath Death teases life, playfully crude Pausing for a breathy interlude Can death bring life to it's side Or will life...
My name is Death. I'll come for you. When you least. Expect me to. In your car. On the train. Bright sunlight. Or driving rain. In the day. Or in the night. I'll come to make. Your soul take flight.
@acorns. @augustwriteaday. My name is Death. I'll come for you. When you least. Expect me to. In your car. On the train. Bright sunlight. Or driving rain. In the day. Or in the night.
Slow burn. Worlds turn. And yet they stay. In their place today. Times change. And rearrange. Embrace the new. When they look for you. The old will seem. Like a fading dream. They hide, they guide.
Words are my toys, that bend and do not break. Like an unbreakable sword, double edged, give or take.
I don't remember it Nic, so all the better for me to be able to read it for the first time. πππ Loooovely stuff πβ€π
Love it, just perfect! I miss your presence on Opuss sweetie, but I know you're super-busy! Hope the next semester at Uni goes well π
@Irrational_Kimmi - aw thanks Kimmi! I have a few days left of revision before exams and term start again. New Years resolution is to keep up with reading and writing that isn't always veterinary ππ
@naaviie it's hard! Last year I only read text books and kids books, with Opuss wedged in between when I could. But all work and no play makes Nicola a dull girl ππ
