In A Short Time

In a small while, time fades
On a park bench the moon shades
The afterglow of a sunny day
The perilous night slowly awaits
In the midst of a summer storm
The stars shine forlorn
Accompanied by the wolfs lonesome cry
You lay your hard head down to die
The window offers no view
Brick and bones alter and skew
The clock ticks off beat
The moment has become obsolete
In a small while, the winds will blow
In a short time the whole world will know
It was a small crime, I begged you, stop, No!
I got your attention now
Finally got you wrapped up somehow
Dominated and submerged
In the secrets you have up-till now traversed
Hold your breathe as long as you can
Take this abuse for as long as you can stand
Let it out, a breathe of fresh air
Open your eyes;
Id be dammed if I were still standing there
You say youve changed-
And that I should too
I say youre deranged-
Psychotic as a whimsical fool
Masterfully construed,
Elegantly crafted
A tear reveals your disguise
Your feet steadily planted
The candle burns dim and faint
The night can no longer wait
Abbreviated ticks, a shorter time
In a small while, and by design
Details yet to unfold, unforeseen
Miracles yet to hold, eternities key
The Garden of Eden has burned to the ground
I wait for the snake, but he is no where to be found

Great imagery! Although I became a little confused when I got to the middle and then again at the end, you're poem seems to include a few different scenarios. I like your constant theme of time though.
