Reality's Clock is Ticking...


Eyes across the bar meet mine,
with rose tinted spectacles they shine.
I am special
now.

Under my clothes I am an hour glass
sifting.
How long?
How long is it fun?
Zippers, buttons, hooks and eyes.
‘Want me always.’
Passion screams,
hearts
anticipate goodbyes.
Here today and gone tomorrow.
Two for joy
and
one for sorrow.

Beg,
steal,
or
borrow.

The lie to seduce,
the birth of the excuse.
The ‘how are you?’
The ‘who are we?’
The silence speaking at a party.

The joker with a crystal tear,
the conscience in the ear.
‘Go!
Go now!
Leave no glass slipper,
no trace behind
for some discontented
Prince to find.

Take your carriage,
The clock has struck.
Leave the insatiable
to chase their rainbows,
chance their luck.’
