Always in time
Closer in rhythm
With days that go by

Steady and slow
Closing the distance
In echoing blows

Beats from behind
Hunting my movements
In chase of my mind

metronome steps
Building crescendos
Vibrations of death
Awesome picture of life thank you
You are welcome. Thanks for stopping by to read it!
gave me chills
😀
Thank you!
the tick of the clock, or the metronome beating out the personal rhythm to your life, VW… You’ve captured the feel, of almost frenetic dreadful realisation that we are not immortal…our time comes to an end… I ask myself how could I not know this, it doesn’t just happen to others, it’s … flipping personal… 😀 xPenx
Aw thank you pen! I watched a vampire movie last night and thought how horrible it would be to never die. Somewhere it must have an end, yet when I consider it, I don’t want it either…Hmmmm
a quandary, VW, if we could stop our personal clock …would we?… and watch those about us age and die?… hell on earth methinks. … Yet? …the thought is there…always there… 😀 xx
I think, wherever you happen to be, it is the best existence you have available to you, because it is the only one. 🙂

Thanks jen!
beautiful, reminded me of “danse macabre”
with time death comes closer and there is no escape. a chilling reality.
Thank you! A lovely compliment indeed 🙂
Seems like we will live forever…hard to imagine perpetual darkness…but then again…it wasn’t so bad before we came into existence…I don’t remember anything:)
Nice poem. I wish I could think daily about death and comprehend it so that I can make the most of the day…wait…I hear the metronome ticking faster:)
Ah, yes, we fight to get away from them, but… 🙂 thanks for stopping by
Wow!
I hope that is a positive “wow” 🙂
Of course it is! I love your poems. They’re mega-creative and fearless.
🙂 thanks!
