Poetry: It's time

by Cheryl Williams

Time Does Not Stop


One day you must leave me.

This we both know.

Still, let me love you.

Let me envelope you

in my dreams,

catch your smiles

on my tongue.

Let me swallow your dew,

fall into your ocean,

and drown

with your name upon

my lips.

One day you must leave me.

Time stops for no one.

But for now,

let me love you.
