wait hol up…

this post was postponed

merely because i didn’t wanna -phone-it-in 

now, let’s begin! 

herein is the fifteenth day – hours have since passed away! 

the cause was posted, as the effect was coasted : across my mind like a dangling button sign. 

seeing as this delay, was a potential decay it did not relay. 

the clock still ticks, the hours stretch,

a fleeting thought i try to catch

yet here i stand, still undecided

as time slips by, forever guided

a task remains, though I resist

a stubborn ghost that won’t dismiss

I swore I’d start, I swore I’d try!

but “later” sighed a gluttonous reply.

the weight now grows, the guilt sets in,

a hollow vow, a fading grin.

The button sways : still left undone,

a mocking dance beneath the sun!

perhaps tomorrow, sharp and keen,

I’ll break the spell, rewrite the scene

But deep I know, as moments fold:

this too will wait, like stories told

For what is time but borrowed breath?

A dance with doubt, a flirt with death

nonetheless, this has not been phoned

only a dial to make it worth while !
