Time Cried


Let it be gentle, this mistaken tear, as to uproot concrete; and let it be life, this shard of souls, while pushing forward. I knew not her moods, those words flung at clocks, as judging behavior. I knew not about prejudice, that inner bias, as classifying races. It becomes a model, this thing of statures, where a person yearns for a cultured friend. I knew not about love, those abstract years, where skies revealed dreams: that second of closure; that instant the chains shattered and intimacy feathered wings; that well of fears, abated by love, as to realize responsibility. I was merely a child, lost to this nature, while that contemptible: this wealth of fools; that lurid song; those days occupied by faulty thoughts; as pursuing some measure, some freakish idea—the pegs of this travesty; while molding graces, this opposite occurrence—this negative churned into a positive; to nurture that dream, sculpted by reality, as a present day motif; but what about eyes, peering into tragedy, as sealed as an object of worship. Such pressure our wants—our minds teased—by a taste of corruption: such grandeur—this feeling of queens, as emotions redirected; to fall this castle—the walls of terror, gripping a silken pillow; this maze of minds, captured by this inkling, covered in pegs of wilderness; where love is there, as more than clumps of sorrow, this thing of majesty, as opposed to measures, this if of dreams, catered to by fools. It becomes a thought, this sprouted petal, which carries a mystic teardrop; that haunted house, as to receive that treasure, where cache was lost; or more this death, greeted in heaven, as such a paradox; or more this love, this need for two, where lies would infect beauty. I know not the tales, while to alter reality, as merely a soul; and I know not the hells—that wrung the bells, where time cried; so more this love, as situated afar, as immortalized in scripture.
