T.I.M.E.

only when alone

comes truth

walking to you

without shape or form

speaking to you

without words or grunts

looking into your eye

the eye only you know

you have

open or shut

truth sees you and

what you know you are

what you claim to be

what you show this world,

truth knows.

they’re ain’t no shittin’ it

waste no time trying

waste no time

period

poetry

your poem is in blank verse still and all there is something missing from it . As it stands it reads more like an after thought
Needs more structure or substance something to hold your readers interest

See I get what your saying

See I get what your saying about time, which I understood just from the last two lines. This shows that te poem needs more to it, throw in an analogy or a metaphor or something, just liven it up a bit.

I think it reads

Well as it is written. In raw “truth” form. No bullsh*t, no sugar and spice and all things thrice. Why buckle this down with metaphors? It screams private time between the soul and a conscience.Just my 2 cents.

re: T.I.M.E.

mucho thankos KM for “making” the t.i.m.e. to reply, kick in 2 cents worth of heard “2 sense.” “no sugar and spice and all things nice.” exactly. “screams,” - yes!
intentional to non-buckle down with add-ons, fill-ins, unneeded more’s of…someone said it was an afterthought as now - prob yes, pre-thought, after-thought during thought in now-thought with come-thought. can any reflection not be an afterthought with the constant coming/passing/gone? thanks for the 2 cents now worth more than double to me.
