Hands Of Death

I hear the hands of death.

A tick, a tock, a tocking.

They haunt my every step,

They tick, they tock. Just mocking.

I fear the hands of death,

A tick, a tock, a tocking.

It's the only sound that's left,

It rips, it rocks, so shocking.

So clear the hands of death,

A tick, a tock, a tocking.

A sound with so much depth,

And the depth,
just keeps,

on dropping.

Sincere, the hands of death.

A tick, a tock, a tocking.

More regular than breath,

And there is,
No sign,
Of stopping.

Reminiscent of Poe's "Tell-Tale Heart"

@misslittleDHP @minxyMolly Thank you kindly ladies💙💜💚

@HelloDahly I've heard if it but never read it. Maybe I should.

@Stablish Eh, it has vague similarities to The Tell-Tale Heart... That's a short story though, not a poem. I re-read this again and it's still brilliant, I think it's my new Opuss favourite haha 😜

@Jamtots Ha ha, if so I'm honoured, cheers mate😃. I should really start reading some of the classics lol, I loved reading when I was well little and have only just started to get back into it this year. I will read it and let you know😉

I have a feeling you would like Poe...
