Hourglass

by any1mark

The pinch in the hourglass

My eyes live there

I have a model of perfection

It teases my last feeling

There’s a trap within all of us

We pretend it doesn’t matter

Fools believe I this is true

The taste of forbid fruit

It remains strong after we think

Issuing excuses for why

But never replacing the temptation

Someday I will taste that moment

I hang on the moment forever

My heart beats to get me by

My eyes live in the hourglass

Perchance

Can you make me forget?

I look to escape the day

Thoughts tease what could happen

Reality whispers what will never occur

Lines separate here and now

Fragile dreams dance upon breezes

My obsession clings to maybes

I ask again, can you make me forget?

Yesterday is a complex knot.

Things once held power crumple

Dreams lay upon the ground in pieces

Hopes nothing but ties that bind

Doubts flavor the air upon your breath

Wanting to be part wastes on the vine

I seek roads not to be traveled

Responses without form of measure

The moment golden in distant light

Things served negligence steeped with desire

Thrills within the hidden places of the heart

To bask in warmth of could be’s

The price of release far outweighs the cost
