disappearing moments
disappearing moments
life love and luxury to enjoy content or in abandonment
shipwrecked on a rich beach with all needs near at hand
what are conceits to employ to follow the commandment
disappearing moments reach the dying and the damned
as the lost time accumulates hoarded becomes putrified
hidden in rotted burlap bags woven from slimed seconds
ghastly gods humans emulate maggots of the mummified
plunging as plague ridden hags as the final finite beckons
a quicksilver pool collects souls glisten glow and glimmer
some are lost those discarded left fending for themselves
a demon’s eyes burn as if coals heating as hearts simmer
dream and hope high regarded now dusty on the shelves
cascades born from trickles a deluge in a land of drought
washing over sand false and fickle leaving dregs of doubt
