Time ticks on.........

Keep an eye on your clock! ;-)

Time Ticks on ... As world laughs on...

Time goes on
Ticking constantly,
Without stopping, Without resting,
Moving on,
Never waiting for any one in the whole world

You call me, Tell me to wait for you
For you to catch up
But when you catch up to me,
You hurry forward,
Leaving behind you,
Leaving behind you, me

Not even caring that I waited for you,
I waited for you when you fell behind

World is shelfish, World is unkind
But the people even more so,
Desperate,
Desperate to bound forwards,

Intent to Snap the only rope,
Snap the rope with which you had just climbed to the top
To the Top

Yes, Time ticks on........as world laughs on
I am left behind, I stay behind
Yes, Time ticks on......... as world laughs on

I fail, I'm a failure,
Yet, Time ticks on........ as world laughs on
Dragging life, through life,
Yet, Time ticks on.........as world laughs on.........

Yes, I so much agree with you that there are times when you've reached the top and something snaps and all of a sudden everything's gone!! I mean, how true is that!!! You feel so low...you feel like a worm...or even worse like dirt! It feels like your existence matters to nobody, nobody at all!! But, you are to buck up. You are still to go o trying to achieve everything you want no matter what obstacles come your way. You never end up as a failure. By experience I can say, you always ALWAYS get what you really want, you should just want it badly enough to devote yourself to achieving it.

It was so lovely reading this poem of yours Kevin! Brought to my mind a lot of things...a lot of memories of failing, but succeeding in the end 'cause as you said it time and tide wait for none. Made me think of all the things I just mentioned above.

Nice write as usual. Keep up the good work Kevin!

Intent to Snap the only rope,
Snap the rope with which you had just climbed to the top
To the Top

I loved these lines best. How true it is. Very often we forget to acknowledge the reasons and the people who helped us through our hard days duiring our journey to the top...

Other than a couple of typo's that prevents the piece from reading smoothly, this is a very nice write.

Well done.

[Bhavya Kaushik]

Yeah! it really goes very well for a song..As such the repetition is giving it a very nice echoing effect like a song!
This actually reminds me of that song "In the end" by linkin park..
But a great subject to write upon and very much practical indeed..
Great work Kevin!

[Janyce Helen Van Es]

Your English is improving as you write; proud of you!

This looks like song lyrics; did you have that in mind?

It sad when we WASTE our time hoping that someone we love will be spontanious and not make us wait-I waited too long to express my love to someone and he died-young- of lung cancer. 37 years old. I had a birthday present and was too embarrassed to give it to him a year ago and this year he's gone forever.

Very sad poem here but I can sure relate to it. God Bless You, Kevin.


But when you catch me up, ("catch up to me" would sound better)
You hurry forward,
Leaving beind you, (oops! typo "behind")

climed to the top (climbed)

as world (as the world)

[Last Lying Look]

I like it! Good work!!! The world is a selfish place...

Not sure how I feel about this one. Another one I would have to hear the music to it for a deeper understanding or impression.
