Description


TICKTOCK The old familiar face you saw before the night began, before time stretched and strained the friendly comfortable colleague's features in a brief evening's span transmogrified to signal lover, future tense. The mind-clock stutters, slows and stops; the unexpected tension coils and winds. Fearful, now, but joyful, yet, these present refugees seek solace in procrastinatory plainsong, a ceremonial litany in unison. They intone: take your time, though time may none too gently take you, mould you, measure out your minutes and your years The task remains: pass the time, though time passes you choose the time or time chooses you' ticks questions of time, tocks answers of lovers. Always together, tick with tock And was there ever a moment when time was tethered, tick-tock tied?' Ah, yes, a precious instant an all-too-brief eternity when aeons birthed and died when stars, galaxies brightly burst and suns engendered glorified a universe with light and in the fluttering fall of lashes and the opened secret of colluding lips time was tamed. With a flick of skirt, and a backward glance awash with wonderment, she leaves this other man behind. The clock ticks on this changeling night, the motor sputters, and the car drives on. Time passed, and passes still. ----------------------------------------------------------- Relationships are not always as predictable or as stable as we expect. Sometimes that friend with whom you shared jokes and occasional confidences is amazingly transformed in an instant¦ and there and then you know you will want to become intimate lovers and not just congenial companions. You just know, don't you, that you will soon substitute passion for camaraderie. It seems - when this happens - that actual time measured by the clock is magically distorted, and appears to stretch and shrink at will: hours disappear in an instant, and seconds become eternity.

I do not always understand poems in english very well, Mike. So I apologize for not always commenting that. But I like very much your little image. That is very nice :)

The ticking of a clock...soothing and disturbing...rhythmic like a heartbeat... that reminds us of our time flying before us... ending. Love your work!

It's not just relationships with your friends that can diminish, it happens when your children surprise you too. Lovely work in every respect Mike! Steve :o)

Oh, so true. There's nothing quite so surprising and life changing as a perspective shift in a relationship! Well put.
