sundial ticking way
sunrays of every night and day
unravels knots of time
creates black holes in space
sundial never ceases to tick-tock
against the ever-rising tide

Rainy Bird of MorningHere at garden salad seas
The scene of time’s repeated theft
A rain upon the poplar trees
Witnesses vigor bereft
A paradox of time and place
Which Dickens did once suggest
Lonely in a...

Blink of an Eye of the ButterflyFleeting,
the emotions,
found in a hurry,
still...I try to stop,
to apprehend them,
in my thoughts,
even if just for,
a little while....

Against TimeGhostly echos of the past
Still haunt me.
Like the warmth
Of your bright smile.
I try to move on
With my life.
Inch by inch
Mile by mile.
I know there is
No going back.
I understand that
What is done is done.
I try...

their time is nowfaces as old and wrinkled as their clothing
a metered gait adjusted to combined needs
gnarled hands held, as always, in support
the sun welcomes their warm-faced smiles
sounds of children in the distance amuse them
an old dog sidles...

30 SECONDSThink and plan
Time frame
Acceleration with a quickness
You are the valued time witness
Time doesn’t stand still
Your time to fulfill
Immediate response
Time is steadily ticking
Seconds into minutes
Movement must be swift
True accomplishment
Well established
Time is not on your side
It is...

Eyeing TomorrowNo need to be good
when chasing the great
The moral imperative
deludes and conflates
With blinders on horses
we ride through the fray
Our eyes on tomorrow
— in search of today

The Irony Of LifeThings mostly happen in opposite,
It often takes noise, to appreciate silence,
Pains and heartbreak to understand love,
Absence to value presence...
And sadness is require to know what happiness truly is.
Such is the irony of life

Calendrical CasinoTen.
Ten years, I've been scared,
fearing the phone's ring.
Twenty.
Twenty years, I was,
learning how goodbye really felt.
Thirty.
Thirty years, I reached,
forty-four days ago.
Forty.
Forty, my brother was,
for fifty-seven days.
That's all he got...
and that feels like all for me.
I'm terrified,...

Identity CrisisWould you remember me
When there's not much of me left?
When I'm faded,
Like a rock chipped away by erosion.
Would you remember me
When you're almost unrecognisable?
When I don't think I know who you are anymore;
Like a tree...

Cloning TomorrowMankind
was never meant
to survive the future
Technology
a trap
their greed as bait
Generations
sacrificed
in self destruction
On altars
of indenture
— their natures gone
