Tic-toc the ticking
Crocodile goes skipping 
Through every sand
Of mortal man...

there's a crack in everything
that's how the lights in

listen to two clocks
ticking in and out of synch
there is a creak in...

Tic-Toc

Tic-tock goes the clock in my head, 
off beat, 
still trying to master the solo of the real clock, 
time is not yours to play with, 
be careful, you might break it.

Tic toc, time's running out real fast The signs are there, the dark clouds are vast Bye bye, have a nice life Wish you well in spite Of the massive havoc you've amassed

"No More Masks"  or "Avon Calling"

It seems that your looks are genetic
And no one would claim they're magnetic
Improve the aesthetic!
Apply a cosmetic!
Synthetic is seldom pathetic!

Tic Toc  Tic Toc
Ever so slowly
Tic Toc  Tic Toc
With bated breath
Tic Toc  Tic Toc
The time grows nigh
Tic Toc  Tic Toc
Christmas Eve
Tic Toc  Tic Toc
Is almost here

Premium Member Just a Tic

Just a tic 
Sometimes a motor tic 
Sometimes a vocal tic 
The constant tapping of my foot 
Or the constant popping of my lips 
Just to ease the storm of nerves  
A tic takes the edge off just as that drink takes the edge off for the alcoholic

Premium Member Heart Tic Toc

The 
Tic
Of the 
Clock sound as
A melody to
The heart that is waiting to beat
To a compass of ecstatic happiness and joy
Healing and mending a broken heart that will beat with a brand new song under the stars

Tic Toc Clock

tic toc clock
goes goes goes
new life ahead
rows rows rows
everybody but me
knows knows knows
what each ball of life
throws throws throws
next day come and quickly
shows shows shows
all production is run by
pros pros pros
i am up before the rooster
crows crows crows
each day my frustration with tic toc clock
grows grows grows....

Keeping busy 
Tic-Tac-Toe
Checking my lists
Tic-Tac-Toe

Cooking and cleaning 
Tic-Tac-Toe
Trips to the lake
Tic-Tac-Toe

Let's take a walk
Tic-Tac-Toe
Rummaging and fumbling 
Tic-Tac-Toe

Just keeping busy
Tic-Tac-Toe
Never still. Never rest

I wake up, I lie there, I look at the clock
Try to silence my brain, tic toc, tic toc
Why can’t I sleep, what’s caused this hinder
I’m never quite sure yet I pause and I linger

Thinking and wondering i dwell in twilight
I belong to two worlds yet not really, not quite
I love this feeling, a freedom of peace
A bit of eternity, perhaps never to cease

Rockin' Tic-Tockin'

You be my tick
I'll be your tock

We'll ring the alarms
of our inner clocks

Unchalk your heels
take a spin on my block

We'll put the rock
in eachothers sock

Like hammer and nail
our passion will wail

Like caught in a storm
our bodies will flail

Then we will ease down
and just fool around

Until we're ready again
to shake the ground......

Tic Toc Time-Freedom Reborn

Tic toc, tic toc,
Around the clock,
Over the moon,
Beyond the stars, 
Through the trees,
Where flowers grow,
Where night is day and day is night,
Where children laugh,
And grown-ups dance,
Among the tombs, 
Of those long since dead,
Remembering what was,
Celebrating what is now,
Looking towards the future,
The sickness is gone,
Forever gone,
No more to fear,
Freedom is here.

Listen to poem:
we’re all ticking time bombs
with activated fuses
sometimes doctors
will sit us down
and assign us some disease
ominously reminding us
about the ticking of our clock

but in the meantime
other bombs go off around us
often without warning

why would we need
reminders to live life
to its fullest
over and above all
remembering to ignore
that annoying ticking

When Tic Turns To Toc

an old clock
turns from tic to toc

midnight falls away
from its loose slip knot

hands maneuver hands
to where dark declines

distant specks of time
burst into flame

if your eyes are asleep
you may hear these labors
in another place

within a space-less room perhaps
for the winding of old clocks

maybe the winder of your heart
has even now stepped over
a midnight pause

has about-faced
from your ticking

Magnet Tic Forces

A love so magnet tic n' rare
Blast like fireworks 
Exploding through the
Milky way.

It's foggy vision leaves 
An electrifying radiation 
urge to, grab A love so 
desperately wanting
shock~waves erupt.

So wild n' free, as the bee stings 
My heart with a drastic disease,
Pouring on the honey.

Unable to explain how you've
Captured me in a sense More
Than words can say:

I Love You!!! My dear poet 
Soul~mate.. to this man you
Know who you are.

Premium Member Tic Tac Toe?

A hankerin’
an unscratched itch 
which one doesn’t wish to scratch for one
a need for heat and warmth
a turnstile dreamer ushers night to morn.

A what the hell
why not devil may care
for who else does?
The siren calls Ulysses to her gate.

Flower scents surmount
the desert dryness of aging heroines.
Lotharios play grinding tic tac and toes
searching for the golden fleece.

And neither Heaven nor Hell 
concerns themselves
with such mundane matters.

Tic Toc Lane

There is a street 
Called Tic Tock Lane
A name I thought 
Is somewhat strange

In time 
My wonder 
Got to me
So Googled 
Tic Toc Lane

So I saw
To my horror
The story of Elmer
A clock maker

His wife was killed
He did some time
Then married again
To wedding bells 
Chimes

In two years time 
Elmer's no more
Two men came shooting 
New wife and Elmer

New wife survives 
To testify
"This one's for Ma" 
"Was what the man said"
Time was now gone
And Elmer's now dead
