TIME

 

Reflection upon wasted time

pursuing lust filled desires

Pain born of expended energies

multiplied within the hours

 

A ray of truth

piercing dark shadows

of humiliation

Seeping through a crack

in the door of degradation

Casting an elongated spike

from here

to the horizon of eternity

After all these years hidden

Shame grows as a dank mold

upon the blot

of a stained psyche

 

Oh to be free

free from the grind

delayed before

now daily paid for

As if a cancer

making captive the mind

 

Wasted days

Wasted nights

Time, heavily invested

dedicated to the chase

Eroding prosperity

as it gnaws at

false promised tranquility

 

Oh to be free

free of the guilt

From a mound

stone by stone

mountainous walls have been built

 

Time, in blocks

freely given away

 

Time, appearing endless

never stolen, yet cast aside

 

Time, consumed by selfishness

unable now to be reclaimed
