At Six O'Clock
A Poem by
Brian M. Peeples
I ponder many thoughts,
at six o’clock.
It is when I hear the sound
of a tick-tock.
Each moment, each beat,
the hum drum ba-dum
of a sound, ever so sweet.
The trickling waters
of time’s flow,
through and through,
as they align
me to you.
Its sound is delicate,
as it resonates art.
And its elegance
portrays that, of a
beating heart.
I find myself in awe,
at the hourglass
upon an old, dusty shelf,
that ticks away
the rest of my wealth.
At six o’clock,
I am here, upon this rock,
waiting... waiting...
for your heart,
...to sing.
One last time,
so that I can,
forever,
call you mine.
As we are now...
...lost in endless
time.

lovely rhyme scheme, and i love the subject. Your stanzas vary in length, which can sometimes add to effect, but other times can spoil the flow...
I like the ending, the waiting adds a new dimension to the story. Definitely keep posting poems :)
