Tik-Tok | Anna Brasher - Contemporary Poetry Website Featuring Notable Poems

Tik-Tok | Anna Brasher

There’s not one of us today
Who can…’Make Time’…or stop its play
Tik-Tok…another second gone
Tik-Tok…a moment without song

Every second we’re alive
No longer cavemen…just survive
So β€˜Taking Time’…is what we…choose
To waste away…or even use

Sometimes we need time…just to think
Moments to stare…not even blink
Sometimes we while our time away
On endless chores…our life…delayed

When someone dies we often say
β€˜Life is too short…invest in play’
Be with our families even more
For time is numbers…keeping score

Mostly we β€˜Take Time’…as we need
To laugh and cry…to work and feed
What if we focused a little more
Making a difference…for those we so adore

Don’t β€˜Waste Time’…on what doesn’t count
Challenge yourself…your fears surmount
Harness support…for a worthwhile cause
Let time’s Tik-Tok…be your applause

Waxing Philosophical Legs | Ivan Jenson

Time does not march on
it sneaks out the back door
to have a smoke
its tobacco is what’s what
and who you know
its nicotine is
your addiction to meaning
and it is killing you
so you really should stop
driving yourself crazy
worrying about how
you just lost another
twenty-four-hour friend
and instead concentrate on making
peace with your poor concentration
and rich imagination
and take the good with the bad
mix it with the tolerable
and when life
gives you lemons
remember that in the infinite
a pucker is born
every minute

A Dazzling Dream | Alexis Karpouzos - Contemporary Poetry Website Featuring Notable Poems

A Dazzling Dream | Alexis Karpouzos

Our life a dazzling dream and the death a new arrival,
there is no end and never was a begginning.
Thousand centuries will gone and will leave faint signs
in the breaths of time, thousand suns will light up
and will burst and unexpected visitors
will come and will gone,
but something innate in us knows,
we were, we are, and will be forever,
a timeless gentle touch in eternity’s face.
