Long Keeps on ticking Poems

Today is Wednesday,the very second one of the year,
It is a sunny afternoon, though very busy.
We can tell time in whichever dimension,
From whatever place we may be hiding,
For it is one precious gift we all...

As we lay here in our bed, somewhat like two strangers force to share the last hotel room at 
Mary K convention. At the morning table I try to hide behind my paper, trying as...

The day drags its feet, despite my efforts to speed up its pace. I got up late, so that I could sleep away the morning hours, aiming for a shorter day. Yet it’s only half...

The clock keeps on ticking as time goes by,
I sit here to think yet still wonder why?
As the day passes does it leave me behind?
While the clock is ticking is it time I find?

Darkness approaches...

And here I am again completely weird
But the clock it just keeps on ticking
But not the only reason why I'm tired
And my eyes they keep on flickering

When outside all these flashing lights
The sound of cars...

I've got a heart that holds the answers.
And I've got the strength to carry on.
And if you think you've got the questions.
I've got the answers, to what you need.
And I've got a clock that keeps...

Everything is topping up
The Lunatic has struck his luck
By waiting like a sitting duck
He found his “Stomach-tuck”

His stomach-tuck’s a golden goose
Or is it his final noose?
Everything is going round
But where is it...

This poem’s stupid 
This poem stinks
Stinks as in shoes
Stinks like you
You are worthless
You are wrong
Wrong is right
Wrong defines bad
Bad people are shoved off
Bad things happen to the best
Best moments do not last
Best memories are taking
Taking...

As the clock continues to move forward;
    Seconds to minutes, then hours to days.
The time allows more thought of beyond,
    What lies ahead and how many ways.

This journey is...

How can a day last for so long
and a year go by so fast?
I'm racing for the future
with my wheels spinning in the past.

If the rain never stops.
How come the wells run dry?
I feel I...

(ads from the 70's and 80's)


If a diamond is forever,
then love is the San Francisco treat.
Just a little dab’ll do ya
so be all that you can be.

It’s the cheesiest, so just do it
you can have...

Time keeps on ticking, I've been here before,

searching my mind like a lost metaphor.

Parallel spots, and in between spaces,

Time can't heal what the soul replaces.

Looking for answers, finding no clues,

Life can't always catch what the...

(Inspired by Joe Bonamassa's "Midnight Hours")

Oh, how I hate
when sunlight has fled,
Misery visits
as I lie in bed.

I simply can’t sleep.
I just feel so bad.
By midnight’s hour
I’m sadder than sad.

The clock keeps on ticking
and  louder...

Sitting by the house furnace by the heat
my growing pains would lessen and I'd find relief
I would do this quite often while going through growth spurts
sitting on the warm floor in the hallway I would...

Standing at the Center of my Moment
While writing these lines
I think of all the worlds moments
Taking up the worlds time.

Grains of Sand in an hour glass
dropping moment by moment
filling every moment with memories
that make up...

The  air  is  still,  you  can  hear
Buzzing of bees, feeding on nectar
And  pollen  of  fruit  trees;  we
Slowly walk through with gentle ease

Grateful for a...

As I view a;; around me I wonder where the time went?
In the concept of time I was a speck that was spent
Nobody is left as I stand all alone
So I pick up the pieces...

The world keeps on spinning, always moving on.
What we have today tomorrow may be gone.
The winds of change are blowing, changing my mind.
As I look once more who knows what I might find.

Time keeps on...

System of events so dramatic it reinvents.
My wisdom over lends a static in a sense.
I give them my hands in return for amends,
Even though it is them who never understands.

Shackled and chained, felt internal pain.
Condemned...

Moving forth and backwards
In our own know three dimensions 
Is understood and simple
It’s our basic comprehension. 

Yet adding in an axial fourth
We become confused
Time just keeps on ticking
All our protests are refused. 

Gravity affects the...

December 21, 2012!  ‘The day our world comes to an end’, is how the rumor flies
A deep-rooted doubt exists, as past predictions have all been so wrong.
Those last days of centuries past have ...

The heart wants to love,
 Yet, we hate.
   In the face of chaos,
 It steps up to the plate.

   The heart wants to understand
 Yet, we are confused.

I am the bend in the river
I am the path to the sea

I find myself at a quandary,
A hopeless dead-end alley.
I sit, I think, I wait, I despair,
I rack my brain for remembrance.
I search seas and find nothing.

I am a sailor without stars,
An explorer without a compass,
A...

My valued time for musicians:
On-stage a class of magicians,
Though their tunes not for theologian’s
Who brand musicians logicians…

It’s a reaching-out to people 
For stirring their dreams or ripple,
Musicians for the route to love,
Their tunes proofs of...
