Time-
Time - tormentor tic-tocks on going
Deep darkness daunting tickings
little phasing seconds mounting
In a kingdom full of minutes
When I thought of the time
Somewhat louder than the climb
Only this and a date
I am scorn of my wait
That second walk - that second walk
I crave the high, higher hour time daunting tickings
member I was awaiting
Only this and a hour daunting tickings
I crave the unswayed, unmoved update
That moment my soul grew tarry
It threw its ghost against the minutes
I crave the scheduled, short-time surrender
against the minutes
tick-tok-tic tock seconds, minutes, hours
Days, weeks, months, years, decades, generation
