Oh taunting clock -

You tease with your animated pace,

making empty promises of tomorrow.

With swifty hours

you steal precious moments,

Thieving us of blissful days.

Stand down from your unwanted progression.

Repress your hands and give me time to reflect.

Let me frolick in todays' soon-to-be memories

so that tomorrow i will have no regrets.

Show me not what you have taken,

but what i presently posses
