In a state of disrepair...

Oh, you are forever nothing
a secret letter never sent
just a whisper of a second
that will never leave a dent

You're a raindrop in a storm,
gone unnoticed in the flood.
No memory in the making
of your briefly beating blood

You are as a dream forgotten
where no memory remains.
Within the stomach of a glutton
who will never stop his feast

You will die a grain of sand,
so you prostitute tomorrow
with the waving of one hand
upon this empty spiral arm.

Well perhaps my meaning
will be missed or skewed,
yet my reason will only last
as long as this blue mood.

That may last as long as you....

LT...Thanks for this.
Some days I need to remember
how to make a pearl.
