Tick - Tock, Tick - Tock Poem by Amitava Sur

Tick - Tock, Tick - Tock

Rating: 5.0


Tick -tock, tick - tock
==================
Tick - tock, tick - tock
Time is ticking out.

In mother's lap sucking breast
No tension - safest nest.

Child hood - with paper boat
Schooling - eating sleep after play,

Youth came - love lust
Marriage - life is fast.

Oa Oa - baby came
Grinding life - run fast.


Blood cools - humped back
Good days - now history and is past.

Bones get porous
Eye sight is blurred.

Thick lens - with pair of crutch
Rough skins -with wrinkle and spots.

Winter creeps in
Dry leaves are shedding down.

Journey for last rite
Ends in a pyre in flame,
With a gust of ashes - dark
Bellowing - in the endless sky.

Tick - tock, tick - tock
Time has ticked out.
