Timeless

Definition

: the quality of being eternal, ageless, or immortal

: or the state of being unaffected by the passage of time


Would you speak, insipid Moon,

while I tug at your luminescent hair

nightly to believe. For millions return to

ashes as you spin about.


I plunder below. Mortality bends,

I conquer the Earth, amassing armies under the sun,

while you spin about, a firefly,

as Death sits on the horizon, brave from overuse.


The killing fields of Earth are filled;

I turn my sights above.

What would you pray for?

Would you speak as I close in on you?


Pray for immortality.

While you slip phases into shadow—

just as my daggers, cold steel glinting, arch high.

You always knew I might reach up and pluck you

Right out of the night sky.
