Love Poem: The Clock Is Ticking

The Clock Is Ticking

Tomorrow is for dying
Yesterday was for dreaming and hope
Today is to stop repeating the violence of the past, but
This present hour is to experience beauty and happiness

Appreciating your beauty brings happiness to me
Makes me realize they are you, both inseparable, but
Only one hour of every day, for beauty, love and happiness? 
We have no time to waste; the clock is ticking

Love is like trying to describe the drifting snowflakes
Or holding onto the sun’s rays that heat your skin
Love is like autumn’s shade that has smothered the summer colors
Leaving behind only memories to be locked away 

I long to dream the dream of a lifetime 
With you the centerpiece in my dream 
You are the epitome of my love's aspirations
What I live for

Words sometimes belie our intentions, and 
desired passions may be thwarted prematurely 
by anticipation, but most welcomed 
when they are reciprocated

Tomorrow is for dying
Yesterday was for dreaming and hope
Today, to avoid repeating the violence of the past,
This lonely hour is to acknowledge the beauty of the world, to
Love each other and find that elusive happiness

We have no time to waste; the clock is ticking.
