HEY CLOCK, STOP TICKING

Clock is a disturbance...

HEY CLOCK, STOP TICKING..

 

In the mornings of my school days

You alarmed me and my sleep

By your alarm, that blared as outcries

From the dead city of Utopia..

 

In the examination hall

Your ticking prowled like a gnome

Spilling neurosis of anxiety on all

Who sat in gaols of questions..

 

While waiting eagerly for my lover

On a rendezvous planned upon you

You were like a slow moving snail

The world has ever given birth to..

 

I admit I wished to crush your arms

When I stood in the first kiss of my love

So that I can make those moments

Eternal, as universal love itself…

 

I wished to twist your arms anti clockwise

So my lost past may visit me..

When my mother’s lap used to bolster me…

Which I lost to seasons, the stoics…

That came too soon like intruders..

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today..

Deadly deadlines of busy days

In my hectic life of endless assignments

Makes me a busy bee …

At the cost of my soul’s silence

 

Your tik tiks on my eardrum

Disturbs my meditations

Arouses the madness of the beast

Inside me, who is ready to burst out

And crush you into pieces…

 

Beast in me is ready…

To wander in wilderness

 

Where clocks are mere logs of wood

Time is ready to move in tandem with

The time table of the tribe..

 

Where men’s clocks tick ticks…

In tune with his instincts..

In tune with his dreams of life…

 

Hey clock….stop thy ticking

Let me escape from your prison

Of tick tick tick…..

It IS quite frustrating how life seems to be ruled by schedules and time, isn't it?

Its an amazing and a very sweet poem.
And above all it described how we are running behind time and how we eagerly want to stop this running clock called "time".

Today..
Deadly deadlines of busy days
In my hectic life of endless assignments
Makes me a busy bee …
At the cost of my soul’s silence

One of the best line showing how we are entangled in the busy schedules which we want to run from.
Great job!!!!

Wow Jeny. You create a very interesting poem. Took me with you on a wild day in a life. I like the pace and the story of this day. A very good poem.

This had such a playful feel, mixed with the profound sense of time's voice. You give us all something deeply moving to think about, and set it to the music and rhythm of the day. Excellent.

[The Analog Kid]

What a great universal theme. "Time isn't on my side" for the most part. You did put in a few positives. This is how most of us feel. Real nice:)
