Time Clock Poem by Paramananda Mahanta

Time clock

O clock stop ticking on the wall,
Beating me up to run with your kicking speed.
I know you are a watchman not my guardian,
Perhaps my grand father made you to watch his ungrateful son.
I know you have never cheated on me.
Please tell time not reminds me death and disease,
I know he sails without excuses to anyone and anything.
Tell me how can I dodge his dreary fist,
I try faster to surpass the but fail and wilt.
He is so steady and I always act on whims,
I have only the accounts to beat him in passing dreams.

He is heartless since my birth,
Never gave lease to my ailing mother
When she is too tired to litfire in the hearth.
Who do you wave your hands not me for sure,
You wave for yourtrue master whokeeps you in order.
Sometimes I find you standing with me.
Makes my waiting time closer and closer,
Until my beloved's lips dashed onto mine.
You go ahead of me makes me wait for another,
Now I understand younever harass me.
A true friend, makes me realize mylife,
But I am too old to be with your pace
but your friendship.
Time refuels me again and again and empties sometimes,
He helps me to run and rest and feel the divine.
