Had the pleasure of writing with my good friend Surrealisticdreams again. Thank you SD, for sharing your pen with me.

the ticking
of the clock
beats loudly
inside my mind
I watch
as the hands
slowly
wrap themselves
around each number
steadily strangling
seconds, minutes, hours
into silent screams
only I
can hear –
tick- tock
tick-tock
TICK-TOCK…

I watch
as the silhouette
gently sways
side to side
spring breeze
caressing the lines
intertwining
to become one
the day
slowly fading away
and the stars
settle into place
once again
