At Six O'Clock

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 :)
