  Endless Time

User Rating:

9.3 /10

  Time is flying towards infinity
As an unknown operating system.

I'm losing programs from my machine
C drive is formatting without command
I'm a tree beside the street
and time is walking in front of me
I'm screaming on and on without sound
refraining without barricade.

Sorrow is a small virus dark blue
spreading spores into my blood
On the dining table a dream
or a yellowish green apple
Putting head under a sharp knife
to slice thickly as salad!

What is existing or non-existing
nothing can be shared
No pains can be measured
Is there anything beyond feelings?
Any flower sweet and unseen?
Any moon within clouds?

I'm losing pockets from my shirt;
Coins from wallet, spaces from hard drive...

Aristotle argues that time manifest itself in the change of things but the change itself is not
time:
“So time is either change or some aspect of change; and since it is not change, it must be
some aspect of change”
By expressing the concept of time and by using conceptual metaphors, eg
'What is existing or non-existing
nothing can be shared ''
and cognitive metaphors, eg
''Sorrow is a small virus dark blue
spreading spores into my blood''
and visual metaphors, eg
''I’m a tree beside the street
and time is walking in front of me ''
the poet needs to prove that time can mean, in some conditions a change in itself..
genial poem...10++

The endlessness of Time and our short existance in it is marvelously expressed as contrast in your poem.This is again I should complement as the poem of 21 st Century engraved on it.

Your poem reads like a movie scene, continuous... flowing, with really moving music in the background.... you write really well and it is way beyond time for me to give you this compliment.

Life is a continuous process in which loss and gain is the process as realizations occur when a loss occurs. This poem is full of deep thinking. In this poem the way you have compared things is also really very interesting.
