Time whispers,
old rocking chairs creak,
a book left untouched,
pages eaten away.
Illusions fade,
left in rotted rooms,
endings.

Now this one to me is quite sad, as it shows things fading away and I don't like anything going or being discarded, I think it's some want to us everything til there's nothing left of it. Beautifully written though, short but sweet.

the sights and sounds here are amazing and the smell of the rotted room. this piece has a tremendous aged aura to it, and I love how you ended it abruptly with just the word--endings. Fabulous job.

That is a waste of a good book, for book are our past, present, and future
