burning moments fly
slaves of tick and tock

minutes into years
raging ravenous clock

always infernal ticking
a demon in your ear

if only there was time
lose another year

every passing tick
hunger will it grow

what you could've done
none will ever know

countdown has begun
youth has run away

there's no cure for time
life is in the way
Porter Jan 2014
like the sunlight dances
sparkling on a stream

there was a magic thing
we made it in a dream

life a crack of thunder
a mirage our bouquet

it dances on the wind
we blew it all away
Porter Jan 2014
she flies across the tundra
her song is in the trees

her hair leaves the stars
her kiss is on the breeze

something never seen
something only felt

feel her rain at night
despair and shadow melt

hold her when you walk
caress her gentle wind

her touch is velvet hope
like none have ever sinned

sleep now with the moon
and silver starlight beams

she's waiting in your heart
and dancing in your dreams
Porter Jan 2014
wind astern sail away
old chores tried are done

no horrid travel everlast
endless squall has won

goodbye mistress light
i know this road i roam

back to earth and sky
madness take me home
Porter Jan 2014
hello ferryman ride
futile tasks are done

there's no travel everlast
my old friend has won

goodbye mistress light
from the cage i roam

back to earth and sky
madness take me home

sometimes at night there’s music
drifting from the wood

a dusty wedding dress
a room misunderstood

once a merry crowd
laughter in the halls

now the cobwebs dance
vermin through her crawls

she sits and watches time
creaks with the wind

things so slowly crumble
air so sweet has thinned

so fast the rolling years
dreams if she only could, but

sometimes at night there’s music
drifting from the wood
Porter Dec 2013
light so ever glisten
cold wind forever blow

frosted ridge and river
trees will only know

walk now in my beauty
breathe my seasons change

my peaceful is deceiving
behold my thunderous range

all the dreams you had
whatever you became

listen to my leaves
I remain the same
