    ---- by Kevin N. Roberts

    Our time has passed on swift and careless feet,
    With sighs and smiles and songs both sad and sweet.
    Our perfect hours have grown and gone so fast,
    And these are things we never can repeat.
    Though we might plead and pray that it would last,
    Our time has passed.

    Like shreds of mist entangled in a tree,
    Like surf and sea foam on a foaming sea,
    Like all good things we know can never last,
    Too soon we'll see the end of you and me.
    Despite the days and realms that we amassed,
    Our time has passed.

    Kevin Nicholas Roberts [1969-2008] was a poet, fiction writer and professor of English Literature. He died on December 10, 2008. Kevin had lived and studied all over the United States and had also spent three years in the English countryside of Suffolk writing Romantic poetry and studying the Romantic Masters beside the North Sea. His poetry has been compared to that of Swinburne, one of his major influences. Kevin was born on the 4th of April in the United States, which, accounting for the hour of his birth and the time zone difference, just happened to be Swinburne's birthdate, April the 5th, in England. And he told me once that he believed he was the reincarnation of Swinburne.
    I always love to go to the link shown above and read in early morning hours.
    Such depth of talent, and so many unrewarded, as these poets and their works should be read in schools and have far greater praise heaped upon them, IMHO. TYR
