Passing Whispers

Waves of fractures streak through us
but reside close by
Unsung deeds disguised as if no one would know 
They grow naturally...
Sands of untimed dishonesty lining retracted vows,
seeking empty hour-glasses...
And feeding crevices some call 
our fate rendered

We stretch the sands to weave staggered steps... 
Freeze our gait
when such sapping moments cease to abide 
our intricate tryst,
Replicate the fractures
when our void ceases to inspire substance...

Call on words we know face a spring, 
yet no fall 
A trendy swing...
but not a rhyme 

Assign remaining symbols 
to deflatable tasks 
Alluring intent...
to passing whispers
