My Clock No More Poem by Obinna Kenechukwu Eruchie

My Clock No More

Rating: 4.9


Now my clock ticks no more,
Is with night who does secure
It as the nail who dwells in a door.

Sight with sound fail to pour
In hush stirred to be pure
Of life that so tinkles to the core.

My clock halted did store
Tranquility full to lure
Me in freezing the life of before.

No suffering to bore
Me with torment to endure,
Feeling once had I need not implore.

No quake esteemed by lore
Of time, in its pressure sure
To awaken my clock by its roar.

Time frozen fails to soar,
Consciousness frozen to tour
Around in a realm where hush is hoar.

thanks for the invitation to read your poems. time is gold as the cliche goes but does it not imprison us as well that we tend to do things hurriedly at times (pun unintended) thinking that time is consumed better if we do things in a fast paced manner? i love the absence of the clock. it does not tell me what to do but that does not mean i am less an organize person. thanks and hope that i may be able to impart omething about me to you through the poems i write. God bless!

We all sometimes experience this 'silence' in the passage of time. But it's fate...into every life some rain would pour I think. This is good. Ienjoyed it. Thanks for sharing

'No suffering to bore Me with torment to endure, Feeling once had I need not implore.' i'm sure u're talking abt death, cos that's the only time when one is free from earth's sufferings and torments. nicely written

You speak of Time with unique abandon, but that makes for a very excellent poem. Who were we before? Who will we be after? The night will not tell, and it is for us to be curious, but never ask that question...but I did.xxxxElys
