weeping in a moment of sleepless despair
time escapes my ever drooping eyes
as the presence of tomorrow’s today
floods in with the breath of forgetfulness.
reclusive words in a dreamless dream
projecting a mindless mist of grays
in a tunnel of shadows I swim deeper
grasping air as I vanish in darkness.
a spark of life within a lantern of truth
tumbles in the epitome of my darken soul
sporadic thrashings of tortured dwellings
cascading through the waters of deceit.
