people say i would love you if i had the time

people say
i would love you
               if
                          i had the time

time in the moment
called now, likens
to a lover
expectantly reaching
tenderly 
            to a future love
to touch the small of the back
that now is a love
past

in the moment, now
of time - love
the wedding dress
           is always used
only the future bride
is dressed
          unstained, virginal
soiled by the lover
now

the lover, now
is never not,
         the same only now
but different in a moment
in both
the excitement and boredom
future and past
always looking

i would love you
               if
                          i had the time

time - love
found in a changing
thing changes
never one and the same
before and after
Identity is found
In the now
before it is violated

but if
the same is the same
before and after
change did not change
time did not love
or experience
now

look at the past
to find
what is true to build
a future
better than now
with only moment
to build

continual now
time – love in moments
is eternal of
God
of eternity, outside time
before the beginning and the end
eternal love, pledged
love in the past
is the first greatest
love in the future
is the last greatest
constant greatest of the moment eternal

what shape
is time
a line,
without beginning or end?
what shape
is eternity,
a point
without beginning or end?
and eternal depth?
what shape
is love
a ray that grows forward?
or shapeless, eternal?
and infinite in
the Father’s perfection

does time - love in
creation grow as
once i die
my now stops becoming
eternal 
to growing time.

In time - love
becomes part of the past
fertilizer laid
growing the reality of time 
harvested in a future
but only nourishment in moments
of memory
that too becomes fertilizer
past feeds the present now and
the future
in prodigy
prodigy, prodigy, prodigy, prodigy,

shipwrecked in
time - love  
lost in the moment of now
lost from the will eternal
lost without understanding
eternity 
without salvation
a future that never comes
because (stalling)
eternal absence
from the horizon constantly redeemed

time - love 
conversion briefly 
discouraged
by
the lover, now, not crossed
in the past

realize 
perception is the truth 
about time - love
              those present
exists over an interval
not including what has happened
in the past
what will occur 
              is the future
is now
not known only anticipated.

the fruits of a human
life time are just now
a moment in eternity. 

i would love you
               if
                          i had the time

yet, eternity’s gaze
               on my moments
hopefully
finds prayer
time in now
making a difference 
               in the moments of others. 

moments time - love
               found in now
found in past
found in future.

knowing time - love
the now
               just past to history
is an absurdity
              cause and effect in reverse
to profess knowledge
                 of the future,
                 of God’s will

except time; except love
known in the moment, 
now.

if
    i had the time
                          i would love you
