Bomb

Tic tic tic tic
The life in front of me
Tic tic tic
Spare the surgeons knife
Tic tic tic
You see that these remnants of my life
Tic tic tic
Any moment now could explode
Tic tic tic
Any moment now could implode
TIC
No mercy given
TIC
No mercy showed
TIC
Could run
TIC
Too late to scream I have been deprived!
TIC
In this unholy mess should I now be glorified?
TIC
Would you young lady come stay by my side
TIC
For I see others are leaving
TIC
Not wanting to share in the grieving
TIC
Then it’s a few less people and lesser time still
TIC
What is it?
Am I ill?
Am I sick?
Them
It could be you?
Time it’s self?
TIC
I’m deceiving?
T……….I………C…….Silence absolute silence
In life one rule and what ever that rule is?
One thing is for sure
I have deceived us all

Hi Paul
this poem was probably years in the making when I think about it as I did write something similar 2 or 3 years ago but for sure I'm happier with this and yes I will be reading this one at poets party.

Thanking you Paul

These tics are screams we hear clearly, Max.
Obviously, we're not never safe from being left when we "lose" a part of what we've been at the beginning of a story.

Well the first thing I thought was
"This is a poem that should be read out loud"
so I am glad to have found out you will
be doing just that.

Love the chance you take with the repetition.
It's not easy to use this effectively.

Enjoyed!

andy

Good morning andy (9:10 uk time)
Pleased you like this poem I will be reading this out at Poets Party and I'll probably read this one at the Poets Cafe(Covent Garden London) along with a few others as part of a practice and a dry one.

Hi Arunansu

Pleased you liked this poem as I once said to a poet friend of mine most of the time you have to be in it to write it.

Cheers

Hello DSL

Could feel the frenetic questioning building with each tic to start, panic driven, but then the last few lines, filled with an acceptance that if it's going to happen, it's going to happen, no matter what.

Feeling this my friend.

Enjoyed immensely.

Max
