39 minutes
That is all that I have left
Before me
Not one minute more
I spent my life
Thinking time is precious
Time is fleeting
So I must hold on
But now I realize
It eludes my grasp
No matter how bitterly
I try to cling on
27 minutes
The clock is ticking
As if it was mocking me
For my imminent demise
My head is full and empty
Devoid of any thoughts
Yet all abuzz with noise
As I try to be composed
My hands are growing cold
My vision is blurred
My heartbeat weak
Yet my will to live strong
15 minutes
And what am I doing
But wasting it away
Like I wasted my life
Time only flows forward
Ever onward
Yet I stubbornly thought
I could be an exception
Perhaps it is cruelest
That I have to make peace
With my imminent death
Within precious last moments
3 minutes
Enough to fill a sandglass
With a lifetime's regrets

The moon gleams on your pallid complexion.
I cannot keep my eyes off your charm.
Your bony dance is frenetic.
Your wedding dress is chilling.
Your hand holds the sandglass.
When you wish, I am
ready to feel
on my neck
your sharp
scythe.

STARS IN MY HELL-
Only the weak hide their scars,
I want you to scar me,
In your greater challenge,
I want to erase myself in your tired cry.
I want to be welcomed to the chorus,
To step out of my dream,
Crowded and lonely like my thoughts,
The sky is my weakness.
Away from protection,
There is a desperate calm.
How do you know,
What do you know,
When you know there’s nothing.
The wrong end of a sand glass,
All born in different universes,
But the same mind,
Born over and over again.
To me it came as a surprisee,
That on pillow I lay alone,
My fight lay beside me,
My thoughts were so tough on me.
Yet they released an immense innocence,
That I never needed to be lost,
Looking out at everything as myself,
Looking after the rain in my mind.

Is she the modern Rapunzel
And all of the misfortunes out there
Are just one big evil entity?
“I’m not going to hurt you”?is the typical horror film line
That always pulls the main character
Down to their demise
All this vile and tears clogged up inside
Sick of it
Tired of it
Hopefully the pieces come back together again
Two clocks out of synchronization
One going at full speed into the future
And another slowly, falling the sand
Stuck in the past
Stuck in the glory days
Lights years apart
Never to be synchronized again
Keep sending the wolves to
Hunt me
Find me
But they never reach me
Act as if they aren’t your own
But your minions are easy to spot
My premonition never misses
How ironic
The Death tarot card is flipped to the upright side
With the Tower tarot
You may be hard
But she’s tougher, harder
Thanks to you
Leave those who have left you
Even if you let them in,
Make no mistake,
They would be out the door again
You’d think it’d be a myth
But it’d be true
Premonition turned reality

What the Night Holds
For me what the night holds is a sense of excitement
a sense of wonder
Of how life is
and my thoughts that I ponder
Enjoying the night for it soon shall pass
And wake from our sound slumber
Back to looking through the hours sandglass
Yes my creativity flows like the sands of time
And yet can only be seen in these dreams of mine
Once it was said
enjoy life for what it is
Have faith in yourself
Let yourself live
