On Moment-metered May and Must

PAD Challenge day 29: For today’s prompt, write a metric poem.

I love when life is a healthy balance of 'ought' and 'want'... all 'ought' is no fun, all 'want' is no good!

The thought of what I ought to do is tugging at my hand

The taunt of what I want to do is tugging at my heart

The place where dusk chased day away is bright-eyed once again

With May and Must and other love-entrusted works of art

Where tick-tock meter of the clock, since Time began will seal

The pictures tinctured with our touch, on Past’s elusive reel

Thus, between ‘ought’ and ‘want’ I wrest

Where voice of choice will soon attest
