Time

Tick, tock ,
I sit by my clock

Now and again I look..................
My eyes, lifting from my book

This page read,
Time passed,
in a blink of an eye
It won't last!
Says I !

Tick, tock
I sit by the clock

This would run on time
My world,waiting to chime

The page turns..........
The world turns
Tick, tock
I sit by my clock

Pages read.......
Minutes passed
It could be my last
Hours instead

Soon ,this book read
Hours passed............
My time instead.............
This is my last

A second of your time
Tick, tock..................
My life chime
Tick, tock
Internal clock !


Tick,tock
Seconds,minutes, hours
weeks, months, years
Decades,centuries
Tick ,tock
My infernal clock!

Tick, tock
I sit by my clock
