Tick-Tock

Tick-tock, tick-tock,

The end is near.

The clock is speaking,

Can you hear it?

His finger so gently strokes my locks,

The gentleness of his lips on my cheek,

The smiles of two meet simultaneously as one.

All darkness is overtaken by the bright narrowing light emerging upon the two.

The moment.

Love, happiness, blithe.

But what happened to ....

And what about ....

All is forgotten,

In the moment.

Tick-tock, tick-tock

The end is near.

The clock is speaking,

Can you hear it?


Suddenly anxiety arrives.

The bright light seems to dim.

Those fingers become so rigidly uninviting,

Those lips approach mysteriously.

The one smile of two is irretrievably broken.

The moment is no more.

Tick-tock, tick-tock

The clock is speaking,


Can you hear it?

The end is near.

The end is here.

reading this nice piece reminds me of a song i used to hear on the radio back in the days...

"as we layyy, we forgot about tomorrow...as we layyy."
