I push and punch
race and fret
one hand a slow death
the other its rapid approach
and a tepid third to mock the middle
Kicking and screaming
enraged and resigned
I take another breath;
it's a further reminder
of my defeat at three hands
Where once there stood a mountain of moments
now lies a lake of memories
and each tock
each mind numbing tick
is a gorgeous death sentence
And you, like it, seem ever more fleeting

Mmm, the beauty of entropy at work through time. It all goes hand in hand. ;)
A pleasure, @prufarchy, to discover a fellow poet of your caliber. Marriage of image and words is wonderful, too. I look forward to exploring your well-curated blog further! Onwards, upwards - Yahia
