time

i woke up falling into the sky
chasing after the sands of time
always just beyond my grasp
the cruel unjustifiable crime

and i saw the horizon devour the sun
and it dyed the world in an orange glow
and i suddenly knew a heartache
i never thought i would know

and i continued to fall into infinity
and broke this body on cold hard sanity
and all my pieces scattered in the wind
like the vermilion petals of a wilting peony

still i chased the priceless sands of time
though blue flames bound my aching heart
and how i grasped on tightly to the moments
whilst my very soul doth depart

swept up by Zephyrus' sweet breath
and bursting into golden blue fire
i, with a heavy sigh, exhaled my last
and drowned in my own desire
