Terry's Poetry Tryings. Time Does Not Wait!
And I was so young... strong, bold and drunk!
Of course, in love with life... but the only mine...
And I did stupid things.
Then it was - thrill... for real!
Until...
One drunkard told me - You have reasons to smile, while...
While my soul is crying! it's raped and silently dying!
Appreciate it, son... 'cause
Time will come!
Time does not wait!
Time will take everything away!
I was not so young... but strong, bold... very drunk!
Of course, in love with her... but she didn't prefer... me...
And I did stupid things.
It was like death... for real!
Until...
I remembered that drunkard... I still have reasons to smile, while...
While my soul is crying! it's raped but not dying!
And I don't give up! 'cause
Time is running!
Time does not wait!
One day this pain will go away!
I am not young... more strong, never drunk!
Forever in love with life... not only mine...
And I'm doing the right thing.
Best deal! For real?
Still...
I realize... sometimes we have reasons to smile, while...
While our souls are crying! Bleeding or dying...
But... does it matter? 'cause...
Time flies too fast!
Time does not wait!
Everything like this poem just goes away...
Sincerely, Terry Craft.
This poem is so lovely and so meaningful !!!
it remind me of a story
There was a king, one he gave a ring to his minister and asked him to write something on it that will make me happy when in grief, and give me sadness when i am enjoying joys of life, or otherwise i would kill you if you failed in 10 days.
Minister was very confused at this and he was seeing his death clearly approaching everyday.
At last day of deadline when he was walking with heavy feet toward king palace, he met a shepherd. shepherd asked him of his bad situation and minister told him all story. shepherd smiled and said you are worried of such easy thing just write "This time will pass too".
This is lovely and deep!
I’m the poem, you portrayed life stages and life as an experiment, each stage has it’s positive and negative experiences, but the amazing thing is that time never wait for all the amendments and all the experiments, what an ironic life!
Thanks for sharing @terrycraft.
Compliment of the season.
I am still your humble friend and follower @maxdevalue. I never regretted following you on steemit. Thank you.
Hello, @maxdevalue Thank you for your interest. For me it's unusual poem format... so I worried more than usual. I hope you really enjoyed!
I really like the quality that the frequent ellipsis provides. I love ellipses, but I don't think I've ever tried to use them in a poem. It makes it seem like there's so much more going on between the words.
Thanks for sharing, Terry! Time most certainly doesn't wait.
Hi, Chris!
I tried to abstract from the quatrains and cross rhymes that I used... always :) I still can not understand what came out of all this... so feedback is more important than ever! Thank.
P.S. Happy New Year to you!
Well I salute you for leaving your comfort zone. If I tried to write poetry without my regular, reliable rhymes, meters, iambs and rhythms it would be the trainwreck of the century. :)
Happy new year to you too! It's gonna be a great Steemin' year!
Very interesting poem I love it out speaks from within you and that's very cool 😊 merry Christmas Terry!! To you and your family❤️
Hi! :)
I wish your family all the best and kindest, Ceci! :-*
❤️❤️ your very sweet 🍬
Nice piece. You've taken time to go through the facets of life. This is revealing. Keep it up
Nice poetry, carrying a very important message in it that we should keep an eye that how we are spending our time. Time should be respected because once its gone it never comes back. So spend quality time... Beautiful post.
This poem almost made me tear up.
While we are young time is on our side, while we move on in life it seems that also the times speeds up and we start soon realizing that we are in a race for making the best of it. Nevertheless, we should treasure each moment and make it count.
You have put the journey through life very well. Impressed!!!🤗🤗🤗
I like this poem and how it has taken me back to the different stages in my life. Great work!
