Yesterday's Sand (+4)

I buried my memory

in yesterday’s sand

 

To live in the past

—beyond reprimand

 

(Dreamsleep: October, 2019)

 

 

 

Subservience

 

If absurdity

is the only reality

 

Time is the new servant

—to what lies within

 

(Dreamsleep: October, 2019)

 

 

 

The Emptying Hourglass

 

There’s a voice inside that’s killing me,

slowly day by day

 

Each line I write, each word I speak

—is paid with time reclaimed

 

(Dreamsleep: October, 2019)

 

 

But A Beggar

 

You see a wall,

where I see a door

 

You are imprisoned,

I am implored

 

You spend your fortune

on relics that burn

 

I, but a beggar

—last verse heaven earned

 

(Dreamsleep: October, 2019)

 

 

Agony Of Riches

 

The ultimate indulgence…

blind acceptance

 

All standards rescinded

—all judgment forlorn
