If time

If time... 

Find me the god who spin the wheels of time
for I'd like to request for a playback
I would like to have another bite of my childhood 
& bask in exuberance of its innocence.
I would love to roam the streets with 
peeps and maybe not just on pant this time.I would right my wrongs, erase my regrets 
& accomplish elapsed dreams
& most of all, I would be free 
from the yoke of responsibility.


If time could be a call girl & stay right here with me
I would like to be young forever
with black hair, wrinkless face 
& firm mounds for breasts
everytime they say ageing is tiring
everyday will be today 
& there will be no fear of what tomorrow may serve.


If time could leap high like Baryshnikovi
I just could evade all the troubles of today
save from the stress of trying and live
my dreams accomplished
for I would love
to sit and watch younger men pay respect to me
for finding time & slaving time.
