Questioning The Clocks

by Ignoris   Oct 3, 2008


A silent vow, eternal bet, the time goes by without a clock
The metronome of living life, solid as a steady rock
Machinery, a useless toy, a key that's meant to not unlock
All the clocks that tick along are simply there for time to mock

Hours, days and months and years, boundaries that they all create
Grasping all to be controlled, trying to recriminate
Piecing puzzles wrong again, searching for a cleaner slate
Nothing quite right in its place, surrender at the open gate

Crucial time does not exist; time will never have a drought
Not a room, end partakes, not without a waking doubt
Angels, demons, truth and lies, of these things, are you without?
Not a soul can contemplate, set in stone, etched in route

Questions come, answers hide, game of hide and seek is found
Should not know, not meant to be the only truth, a song renowned
Ominous, a prying eye, the larger view, surreal surround
Clocks, merely empty shells, ticking time had truly wound

* I appreciate every rate and comment, the favor will most definitely be returned, take care

    Beautiful poem, good read right before the new year, invokes images of the art of Salvidor Dali & his paintings of melting clocks frozen in time!

    I love the rhyme scheme that you've chosen, you made it work really well. (: Your word choice was extensive and simply beautiful and the flow was very smooth all the way through. You did amazing. Keep writing. (: 5/5

    Take care,

    I loved this: "Machinery, a useless toy, a key that's meant to not unlock
    All the clocks that tick along are simply there for time to mock." Good Job.
