Flowing memories

 


A lifetime

spent

in an hourglass,

watching sand

sprinkling down,

counting every

grain of time

as it sinks

to the other side.

A certain pain inside

Sandpaper lungs

and gritty throat

only comes

when you feel so alone

 

Life in

egg timer

moments,

memories lay in

glass containers.

Awaiting freedom

to walk these

unadorned rooms.

Where lies a heart

in its mournful tomb.

Only when warming hands

hold tightly to the time piece,

will the heart be exhumed.

To be freed to finally bloom.

 

Never leaving

this glass container,

watching sunlit sand pass

grain by grain

pouring

into the hourglass

like a drizzling

golden rain.

Awaiting the comedown.

when the sands finally drain

through this fragile shell.

His life will be flipped

upside down again,

leaving him submerged,

until the right hands

can break the spell.

 

Sand dusts ankles

as time whisks away,

loneliness takes its place.

Watching the last

flowing memories

sinking slowly down the drain,

in this cemetery of chronology,

where the heart yearns in vain.

Just awaiting the right hands.

A love doctor of cardiology,

to ease the ongoing pain.
