Sway

By Nora Duke

Tick tock

It’s you on the clock


The time stops

And you

Stay


Your flowy white dress

So excited

To be worn

The florals on it smile

Watch me

As I hold your hand

My suit laughs

Because a young coward like me

Get a pure lily

Like you


Time 

Swallows like a lion

Flies like a bird

None of its bits can be caught

Except when it comes to 

Me

And you


The fondness we have for each other

Makes time

Pause
