Although
it's only a day
until I see you
it feels like 3
million years,
hours of avalanche
before we dance.
Not aware where time is
when we flare
& spark
the zoom of us;
we meld with high fives o clock; hands of the
tick and the tock.
AM May 2016
forgive me for wanting
to pause the ticking clock
and simply dance with you
over the silence of our kiss
Paul Gilhooley May 2016
Tick tock tick tock,
The relentless ticking of the clock,
Click, click, click, click,**
The second hand groans on every tick.

The empty room, the sounds of silence,
The buildings creaks, a melodic violence,
Alone, deserted, remorseless gloom,
It feels as if I’m in a tomb.

The doors are open, the lights are on,
But people visiting, alas there’s none,
No sound of banter, no sound of laughter,
Simple company is all I’m after.

There are those times when certainty comes easy.
Why have they fled
The panting hands of my clock
That are sprinting to catch up
With them?

That black and white circle is like
A racetrack from hell,
One no one can ever escape
And a race one can never win.

So how is it
That we find the strength
To keep on running?
Clock metaphor. Deal.

Tic, the clock kicks
just a bit
counting seconds
but nothing moves.
The pen is still.
Time feels unreal.
The digital display
blinks at a slowed pace
and I match it
a slow breath
a slow heartbeat,
a scattered mess,
and an empty desk.

Tic, my sanity escapes me
driving me to boredom
ticking through
another minute or two
and all I want to do
is go home.

Tic, aaaarrrrrggggh

Tic-Toc, Tic-Toc,
The clock plays it's infernal tune,
No care whatsoever,
I wish the clock will stop.

Tic-Toc, Tic-Toc,
My stomach turned,
My heart dropped,
My eyes began to water.

I stare at the man before me,
The man who did wrong,
The man that caused me grief,
I look away, not wanting to look at him.

Tic-Toc,
I closed my eyes,
Listening to the ticking,
Wishing for it to be over
I wrote this while I was at court.

The hand strikes 12
Brandishing its ringed mark,
Twelve times,
12 cries out
As it is hit repeatedly,

The hand passes,
Leaving 12 exhausted,
With the mark of the hand
Red on 12s face.

Petals of paper
for a stature svelte.
An opxum core.

Swindling willow
waltz upon a stage.
Tethered by the same roots.

A ***** moon,
an ascending tide.
Longing lovers without passports.

Army of emerald soldiers
seduced by ruby gypsies.
Ashen by a kiss.

Clumsy hearts vitrified -
never worn on sleeves.
Await a hummingbird.
