filled with men

The quicksand of life ever flowing
struggle to be bound within its knowing

Snap of Moments

The hourglass of moments ebbs and flows
One snap,  prized journeys are gone
Remembered as one's past .

sing infinite socio-bytes

my hourglass tears turn to dust

Grains of Sand

Catching truth in the light
or trapped by the night

The hourglass a prison
—as twilight falls

(Dreamsleep: September, 2022)

When Thy Soul Is The Clock

thy
soul is the hourglass
that
ticks and tocks
thy
soul swings
across 
the 
edge of the universe
when
thy soul is the clock

Be Careful What You Wish For

Victim of his own success…
the treadmill calls,
the hourglass broken
—casualty of what time denies

(The New Room: November, 2020)

Inside of the Red Rose

eight legs wide
an array of eyes
a red hourglass
that glows
from her side, but
the black widow spider
lives inside of
the red rose

Premium Member Quicksand Hope


Quicksand hope hollow inside,
deranged dreams subside.
Shaky footsteps falter,
hourglass sands capture. 
Life loses the prop.

Love Reclaim Your Past

What shade of love is so divine
Pure love my dear is colorblind
We capture love in this hourglass
Each grain of love, reclaim your past

Grains started falling
within the New Year hourglass
too soon, all will pass-
each one, a special moment
to be cherished and used well

Sand Through My Fingers

Faster than hourglass
more sand slip
through my fingers
words I couldn't tell you
pick them up one by one

Premium Member Woman of the Forest

hourglass of golden yellow
your symmetrical beauty
with a tiny waist
woman of the forest
autumn tender
few experience
wonderland of leaves

Premium Member The Sad Story of Myrtle

There once was a turtle named Myrtle
Stuck in a plastic ring girdle
It altered her mass
Into an hourglass
Leaving her deformed and infertile.

Chassy

Middle age woman from Tallahassee
believed she was something very classy.
Finger rings
Brooches, things
But time had warped her hourglass chassy

A Hourglass

Time
ticking
running out.

Mortals buy it not,
angels cannot sell it:
She is born by life and death..
"crave good things but not all at once"

The Soul of Man

when
time is made of 
grains of sand
then
we are 
trapped in 
the 
hourglass
the 
soul of man
each time
the
cosmos bets
her 
tambourine
