The watch has ended its usefulness - Time is on a stand still and every second Is dragged into a long deafening silence As each drop multiplies into long synapses, Until it ceases to exist, and implodes due to its nonexistence. There is a quiet disquiet of encased thoughts Amid the flashing fluorescence of multi-colored Memories of the heralding of the new dawn, As the cold contemptuous swings of air Rushes through the derelict stations the mind, As a spirit haunting, in search of reason and meaning, Or in search for a beginning and an end. Journeying through byzantine conduits Scouring the space for a panacea for eternal returns.
And I am here in my lonesome Waiting for ghosts to haunt me in my waking, I'm itching to hear them drag their heavy footsteps My ears ring in the absence of their whispers. Now my heart has stopped, not because of death But because death has lost its meaning. I have lost my mind as I have lost my edge In writing long drawn out sentences For the consumption of the absurd - an offering To the deep abyss of thoughts . I have turned into a dull blade in my futile attempt to cut Through the dense meat of time and space Pining for a piece of tender reality Ghosts are dead, memories have faded, And all I have left is this profound vacancy.
