Time

Now or Never, Baby

38 lines


They often say
That it is now
Or never, baby!

Time to decide
What to do,
What to say,

When you have to say
I am so sorry.

But it is time
For us to go on,

We are no longer
A “we.”

When I saw you wearing
Itsy bitsy teenie weenie
yellow polkadot bikini
On the beach,

Surrounded by younger men
Looking and flirting with you,
I knew that we would
Soon be over.

No need to wait
To hear it
on the grapevine,

That we are no longer
a couple.

It is time for me
To hit road, Jack,

And I won’t be
Coming back.

The Thrill is gone, baby
Gone for good.

I ain’t no hound dog
You can abuse.
I ain’t one of your toys
You don’t own me

You were born
“Bad to the bone!”

Tomorrow is so far away,
But that seems like yesterday.
The hours blur in what seems a minute,
I need to slow time down.
Until today I felt I could reach for the stars,
But I’d surely have one by now.
Then a revelation touched my mind,
Brief as it may have been.
It’s time to take the initiative,
To take the reins myself,
The future is mine for the taking.

A good poem about the passage of time and what the future may bring. Like the line today I can reach for the stars
