Before My Hour Cometh by afroxyz: 10:34am On Nov 01, 2012 |
Strip me of my cloak, Of dust, Commit me down to, earth's crust, Tomorrow dies, Across the bridge, But tarry your feet, Till I kiss my dreams. Time is nothing but prey, To the fangs of death. Hurry while you may, For the sun surely, would sleep. Like glass cast, Into a valley of stones, So are dreams and goals, Like Debris on waves. I speak, no echo I call, no answer The silence of the dead, Speaks to the living, Earth is just a stop, On the journey of life, Only death knows What lays on the other side. Before my hour cometh, As the withering of a rose, Before I sacrifice mortality, On the altar of death. Bind them, the hands of time Till my dreams fall through, Like a comet, Through the night sky. My heart is heavy, With plans. Spun like cobwebs, To trap opportunities. But time dances, Like a masquerade. Gyrating in the square, To the drumbeats of death. 1 Like |
