Growing Numb

The moments on the clock
 slide by, tick tock.
My mind, my thoughts lag
 with the weather playing tag,
 the summer heat draws my energy
 nothing remains from heart-to-soul synergy.
Perhaps it's age and time
 where poetry has no reason nor rhyme,
 still, I tend to write words and prose
 unsure of where the process goes.
These are mere tidbits of exasperation
 the skin growing numb in dreams of perspiration
 forgive me as the brain throbs in hesitations,
 it's just my random moments of time and space regenerations.
I'm dull-witted and confused
 in mind-numbing news.
