Beyond Time Poem by RIC BASTASA

beyond time
is love

time is a measurement
of the past
and the present
and the future
that we tend to limit
within a
certain space

love is beyond time
it is when
measurements
do not matter anymore
because
you love
and your love
has no measure

it is not even
this moment

it is beyond
momentariness
that we love

just being here
looking
at you

everything freezes
nothing leaves
nothing comes

the box
of time where you
are in
does not have
length
and width
and sides
and depth

there is just
this breath
breathing, life living, and it keeps going and going

without any ticking
