The metronome - a poem by Chris Zachariou

A Shadowed Figure by a Tree

The metronome strikes

a thousand beats

tic, tic, tic, tic.

Monotonous and dull.

And the clock ticks no more - a poem by Chris Zachariou

A Couple's Emotional Struggle

All that's yours neatly packed,

all that's mine scattered on the floor;

nothing much to show for a life.

You've taken all that I ever was

and everything that was ever mine.
