Hourglass

Tired of playing ifs or ands
Watching the glass run out of sand
Time is foremost on my mind
Pages turn and years unwind
Tomorrow is gone, no more is the light
Anguish unbarring, the struggle, the fight
Decisions will come, time will seem brief
Taken away by the words of a thief

Books

I can’t conceive

Of a way

To bring us together

Oh, I knew its but a dream

But a fantasy has built worlds

Who wouldn’t want to live

In such a vivid illusion?

The pages of my real life

Have been torn away

Lost in contemplation

Burned in desire

Beyond retrieval

A new chapter must be written

A cast of characters

Expertly drawn out

Time is coming for big decisions

Most authors worth their salt

Chop heads for verisimilitude

If I can’t have you

In my imagination

Then

I must imagine you gone

And move on
