20 - Sand

Give me an eternity on you, give me all the time you've got.
Give me it all to peruse and I'll show you my thought.
Make time for me, create it anew.
I'll show you what I see, why I know I love you.

Hold the hands of time, stun them with grace,
Like you’d hold mine before you plant your lips to my face.
Stubble sharp to your flesh, I laugh at the fact
That you think of caterpillars when your skin’s chapped.

Smash the hourglass, brush the sand under the rug,
I need this moment to everlast, alarm clock unplugged.
With eternity behind me and you to my front,
I would ask Skoll and Hati to end their hunt.

For just one night, that’s all I can ask
An endless night, a simple task-
I’ll count each freckle and adore the perfection,
I’ll need eternity to properly show my affection.

An hour, a day, a year’s too short.
A life’s not enough to bring words from thought,
So freeze time my darling, for me, just once,
So I’ve time to tell you your beauty in verse.
