Time Here, Time There Poem by Romeo D. Matshaba

Envision a ring in time, an endless ring of mine,
A ring ’through you distorts all shapes.
I imagine we meet, at circle dawn.
But time here, time there; we fall.

In ’face, I recall times of yore, ancient times of yore.
Again, we meet, at circle dawn; while hair may vary, and lips may eerie.
Passion suffusing time, echo as sound in cave.
But time here, time there; we fall.

Darling, stars may fade, even shoreline may change,
I’ loved the million pieces of your heart.
But time here, time there; we fall to earth
But rise in time.
