it is as a distant memory
fleeting in thought
fools gold scribes hark
as day kisses night into darkness
eviscerates all it encompass
i suffer the thought of you
where children's laughter magical
your favorite flower bloom
love that last forever
a beating heart presumes
memories dolent hue
dole out in few
i grasp with every sustainable ounce of energy
as a fish out of water gasp for air
i grasp for one last memory of you
for surely without
i am as a grain of sand within an hourglass
sullen and alone
i carry the chains of a desolate man
haunted by ephemeral memories...
fool's gold.
