Ticking Away

A clock ticks away all its life
Unknown to the world outside
Does it like its refrain?
Our does it think it's all in vain?

And hope the owner expects
To take a licking
And keep on ticking
Over and over like a Timex

What is time 
But the incessant
        tick

Forests face,
Green growth branches out,
Seasons change.
Wrapped twigged leaves,
The deep ticking sound of life,
A timeless pleasure.

Premium Member I stopped the clocks

when Tahira died. 

I won’’t nudge 
the pendulum 
back to ticking-tock 
time or constant 
living
until I feel alive 
again.

A woman feels alive and kicking
Whenever she gets a good licking
Insert a tool
Just like a mule
And who cares if the clock is ticking?

Time
ticking
running out.

angels cannot sell it:
She is born by life and death..
"crave good things but not all at once"

The ball was loose and bouncing
Joe dove towards it, just missing
The clock ticking down
Just then, Joe had found
His football skills were lacking

Time is ticking
can't figure out life

Living life in a hole

Premium Member Thinking of Time

Often I think of time,
collecting clocks
I seldom wind;
hearing chimes where there are none--
like Einstein,
putting ticking space
into vacuums....

Don’t they know where it’s going?
So much time they are wasting; 
Robotic spam we are stuck
with holiday email junk; 
Life ticking as I sit deleting.

Eleven Minutes

Minutes eleven
soon it will be seven,
time is ticking, 
I like knitting,
I have a horse,
do you like my porsche,
time is divine,
will you be mine?

End of Game

Clock ticking down 
Breathing to unrelenting time 
Sun devouring all life found
Efforts to no avail 
Hope stretched out to no one in sight
End of game

The Clock

A Sense of balance,
A trip through time,
They tick and tock,
A Constant Chime,
Round and round,
The hands will go,
The clock keeps ticking,
Quick Quick Slow

Crocodile goes skipping 
Through every sand

Alone

I remember the sound of the clock ticking,
Reassuring me that it is still going.
When I cannot hear it, I know that it has not left,
But is simply hiding.
