Love Poem: Time

Time

I could swear that there, somewhere between the minutes, on that night, the time, it stood so still.
For I saw with my own two eyes,
that girl smile wide and the world fall too tranquil.

In an ocean, of faceless people, her face is equal,
to every star that kissed the sky.
Oh and I will smile then point up high,
if you ever ask me why.

As we’re not born to live, but we are born to die,
yet I was born right here and lived where no man fly.

Yes, I could swear, on all my years,
that time it slowed to freeze.
But as noise went quiet and the wind blew slow,
we stood there, alone.

For if kings had known, they’d leave their thrones,
and rivers reverse their flow.
And if I spoke now, about that smile,
the trees would turn and sigh.

For I saw life.
