POETRY - TICK-TACK TUM-TUM - THIAGO LUCARINI

The minutes pass

The pointers keep move on

Impatient see the clock

Full of gray hours

And everlasting seconds.

…

You never come…

…

The slow clock whispers:

“Tick-tack, tick-tack

My heart beating like a drum responds:

“Tum-tum, tum-tum.

...

Never comes...

...

Tick-tack, tick-tack

Tum-tum, tum-tum.

Endless dialogue.

...

You never come to home...

…

Heart and clock together suffer

Tick-tum, tum-tack

So I keep holding on.
