Romance of time

Watchmaker’s calculated art of divisible lines
Only seconds gone, recovered, reconciled – time
Confess! Sighs, spies, lies – sleepless unhappiness
Watchmaker’s devices, anxieties, deceptiveness
Chronicled surreptitious relentlessness
Watchmaker, oh so smart, moving hands imperceptibly
Only minutes on a lark, a mark, every man’s destinies
Of life, timeless reality, evolved haphazardly?
Watchmaker’s ticking; dialing death demonstratively,
Defines our zeitgeist zigzaggedly
Watchmaker imparts, twelve more, twenty four
Only hours, resounding earthly chores, draped revolving doors
Elastic Mont Blanc, intestate estate, ravaged wolverine, fate
Watchmaker’s delicate; superfluous dates, aging mates
Never my pretty, inveterate pristine state
Watchmaker’s jouled entropy; never polymorphic prose
Our days, love’s repository, hung in eons of glorious tableaus
Sea of timing, love-tides rent, horizon’s bent, and you relent.
Watchmaker’s intent, time’s dent, never heaven sent
Diamond’s movement, another lover’s decent
Watchmaker’s chime, mellifluous crime, a swindler’s rhyme
Only months behind, martyred time, denied love sublime
Back then, known, love binds, inamorata over time redesigns
Watchmaker unwound, crowned tines, read between the lines
Timed, stemmed love undermines
Watchmaker’s chimera, fool’s fantasy, restive two-headed paramour
Of years desolate, suffering insubordinate, forever and for more
Seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years forever
drawing blanks
Watchmaker charlatan tick upon watchband, desolate heart sank
Puller of the pranks, love’s forever-deceptive mountebank
