Time Cried

The clandestine time came and went unheeded
as did anticipate caresses faded
Come away from broken limbs unseen
close my ears shut my eyes to
heralding songs with no chorus
there is brightening spreading light
shadows run as veils of crystalline lace
dropped to the ground
  
Misty air surrounds all around me making
gray blue tendrils of floating pastoral
ghost shapes into my nostrils its wind I breathed thus
Pale colored vapor sucked dry
evaporating hope shriveling to dust
it clings and catches lungs collapsed
Out this husk to escape where no
appointed time ticks silently
