Time Orphaned

for Sunil

is time measured
by the pulsing waves of pleasure
prior to orgasmic release,
or the tremors of ecstasy
that run up and down the spine
during seizures of inspiration
and creation …?

is time the space between two thoughts
relative and illusory;
or the ‘distance’ defined or measured (by space)?
how absurd are notions of space
when existence is saturated
and no real separation exists,
'empty' space is simply a lack of awareness

yet in the supreme arrogance
characteristic of old,
senile and impotent men
time imagines itself the destroyer
of all things,
though reality easily demonstrates
continuity

time affects only the ignorant
that are unable to detect
the swirling flows and spirals
of continuous creation

corporeality is merely coalesced ignorance,
misperception;
time and space married
are the progenitors of form
and measurement
yet reality, continuity
is measureless, therefore time-less
and timelessness
is immortality!

so
what is the true measure
of a man,
is it height, weight, stature
or character, which transcends
and defies all boundaries
and definitions?
