only time
Can time shoulder
the weighted ticks
and tocks
of sadness?
as an unspoken sigh
arrows its loss
in measured
wants and pulls,
I let the fingered
point of these
counted and now
lost moments
scribe my sorry shrug.

Beautifully conceived and expressed Tommy - it grips you by the mental balls and has the great quality of simplicity coupled with immediate effect on the emotions, obviously coming from direct experience of depths.

Great imagery Tommy and a well written poem.
