20/M/NYC Valiantly voracious.... valueless voice.
The hatching tempest drinks convulsively of her voice drowns in thunderous wit the flimsy temptings of his heart Not even feathered hope will oversummer her assail nor provide respite from her sands Ô, Enkindled Time... Please! Please! Don’t forswear his shriveled ash! _–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_– Against your snowy nape he catches the reflection of a withered mien Blindfolded by the starch yet thinking he’s enveloped by the starts he’ll abandon his abode of solitude and freeze and die As every night, when even sound’s asleep The most terrible storms overturn/run and take his heartfilled eye Forever encumbered by the window’s lie

Time’s lover
Living is about embracing death as though it were unique As though death was made for living and living for ‘em dead So if you must disappear in some night’s distrust remember we are made of Time, and Time is made by us

For an Untimely Death
Beware! Beware of the consequences of what’s been deemed Procasturbation... Precarious pleasure Addictive piquancy [Oversaturation] As Time will come before you do

If I told you You were born this morning and you will die tonight How much of your day has gone by?

Every second is many
My hopes prevail unfulfilled, by those who avow an intent to have Time killed

« Killing Time » [Anti-Haiku]
In some odd way we are now living out the last years                                                                                      months                                                                                      days                                                                                      hours                                                                                      minutes of our life. How loudly the clock ticks.

Death is always five minutes too early
The question : ¿Why me? merely shows the remnants of an uncouth faith a tender hope for respite

Even in darkness, there is time
Remember the price you’ll pay While reading this verse What each word, from you, has flayed
