Debjani Mitra Poet Choka

Clock Confiscates

Three hands of time roll,
pass one by one in circles
golden hours, silver minutes 
relentless seconds.
thoughts pulse to murky future 
lost in what's there left behind.

Mystical motion 
tonight transcends tomorrow.
Unending dark tunnels fill
pleasure and sorrow.
Spinning Earth revolving Sun
new Moon born, trapped in cycles.
 
Unanchored moments 
to hit buzzer, and win game.
Hurried life runs out of time
as clock confiscates.
A storm in which, all are lost
clouds emptied...and  stars faded 

Hold on Wanderer...
Let's have an easier life.
Let's fold time, tuck it away.
Big tiny moments...
Deepest blue and Highest high
Time will just stop, when you die.
