Fallen To a Life of Crime

I wait for no other days so I pinch this one I haunt rocks and trees to caress with each ebb and flow I celebrate a minute and dedicate it to hours honouring a moment just one, this, as I breathe from the firmament of life, my exhalation fogs the soul of time scattering all sense I suck what my mistress desires I steal her nourishment sipping it like a fine wine time is unquenchable, forever devouring life down to the gritty bits and this day stands like no other she saunters in her finery greeting all with a cool breeze, but as the other side of her face turned into view, a ghoul of time slobbering and champing at the bit revealed her true self slavering to eat me alive drool pools on my window sill but I am thieving again I inhale breath by breath looking for the cracks to sneak back to thievery
