eludes time slips away
as if a snake were like a piano
like stars outside the window
like lonely oak
time slips away from me

and what is time and what is a day
what does it mean to slip away
what does it mean a snake and piano
what does such a star mean
and what is true solitude

eludes time eludes
disappears disappears like a spider's thread
as its core as its web
As his house is abandoned and new
built in february onward

same sketch
cloned day
sundown station
schema

office workers
signed off
shuffle
numb

curbed chaos
train clatter
shifting gears
clashing sound

noise assaults
savaged senses
lulls into
stupor's rhythm

cardboard sentinels
stare blind
frames fixed on
blanched orbits

disjointed huddle
inciting life's
vapid
echo
scenes from an urban station at rush-hour...

Time hides from me anymore--
          I tried to invite it to stay
I've double locked the door
          so it won't get away--
but still, it eludes me
          and I keep wishing it would just come
and set me free...
           I'm beginning to feel
that time has no time
           for the likes of me.
Seems my time here is fewer and farther between...My life is in such chaos these days and I keep thinking I'll have time to come here to read, to write, but somehow time just keeps escaping my grasp! Someday I hope to spend more time here! Hope all of you are doing well and won't give up on me!

I breath but it is not life,
Its just an echo of before
I do not breath,
I do not walk,
I do not see,
Like the way others do surrounding me
I am transparent
I am gone,
They may miss me,
But I am here, but gone,
Am I figment of an imagination,
"Gone to far"
Could this be a dream, I wish
To wake this is gone to far,
I wish to weep, to cry a tear
But my hands are translucent
Fading in & out  
I can see,
I can hear,
But touch the feeling I wish so dear
Eludes me,
"What have I become"
Am I really here??
"Am I  who I was"
Past tense, I speak as if past,
Then I look upon the ground
A shadow of a man now laying
Still on the ground
"He looks familiar"
But cold upon his features,
Then I look closer
"Like a mirror I see a reflection"
Then I see it is me,
Still,
Lifeless,
Cold,
For it is me that is motionless
Then light engulfs me, I am free, I am home.
