Best Tock Poems

To all of us
Who have lost someone
To all of us who have lost something
A void, emptiness
A feeling of the no more
And nevermore
To those of us
Who never got a chance
To say I love you
Or I’m sorry
Or I care
To those of us who thought
There would be a...

i look at the walls around me
bootleg-moonshine shadows dancing
a waltz atop nighttide's stage
yet i am empty of my own emotion
alone, covered in reflections of us.

i still smell your scent
linger in every deep breath
within this humid air
and i choke up another piece of me
as the hands...

"The clock is a useless tool, measuring mortality, 
narrowing vitality. Don't let it tick-tock away the waning moments  
and fine components of your final days." (last stanza of Heather Ober's "Clocks")



A brand new day
Tick tock tick tock
You grow, you learn
You take that walk
To get...

In my clock, I hear tickery tock
It just stopped!  No tick tock from my clock
Oh my dear tick tock box
Now I fear there's a fox
In my tickery tockery clock

A sly fox in your dear tick tock box?
Oh my gosh, I can see his striped...

Tick tock, tick tock, the sound of the clock
A constant reminder that time never stops
There must be something that can be done
To slow down the time, how quickly it runs
From seconds to minutes to hours then days
Calendars form an unsolvable maze

Tick tock tick tock, ...

crepitus announces itself annoyed
at my impudence  as I climb the stairs
it speaks the language of stop, I don't

flatulence trumpets my presence
luckily no one is hear to breathe deep
another dead language of age

the sounds of decomposition make me smile
for even they can fill a blank...

Tick Tock Tick Tock 


Tick, tock, tick, tock, goes the sound of my clock
I am waiting, waiting, waiting.  Waiting for time to expend
Never have I known time to go so slowly

Exhilarated!  The subject of my tormented dreams will appear
Miles separate, but wires, contaminated...

Tick tock 
The clock is ticking
And the world is moving
Can you imagine
How fast can the time be
today

Tick tock
My head is ringing
And my problems is stopping
But my ending
Is just a beginning
Today

Tick tock
I am waiting for tomorrow
Unsure of awaiting sorrow
This time I had borrow
Will never return to...

Why must we let your old relationship 
hinder our new one

I'm a firm believer that in one's lifetime 
they may experience love a long the way

But they will only experience one true 
love

I'm not saying what you had with her  
wasn't real

But my question...

TICK TOCK TICK TOCK

We can never catch up with the 
Clock and time,
No matter the length of this 
Solar rhyme,
The sun rises in the east every 
Brilliant morning,
As a new wondrous day, 
Begins dawning.
It sets in the west every evening,
Each country having its own
Particular calling,
And...

Between the tick and the tock
time is held in abeyance.
Marvelous things can happen
in that endless, timeless place.

Time is held in abeyance
in that endless, timeless place.
Marvelous things can happen
between the tick and the tock.

Tick Tock,

I long for your loving touch,

Tick Tock,

I miss you so much.

Tick Tock,

I’m in a prison of loneliness,

Tick Tock,

I should have cherished happiness.

Tick Tock,

I didn't appreciate your loving care,

Tick Tock,

 I never thought you wouldn't be there.

Tick Tock,

Now there is absolutely no one to console,

Tick...

Tick Tock, Tick Tock
One second, two seconds
And it
won't
stop
Every minute counts, ever seconds that is passing by I see the time being wasted over nothing, why
Why
Can't I stop the time
Just to rest and to take in my surroundings 
To gain confidence and set up a sense...
