Blink
Blink and there are
No more flowers
Blink and there are
No more hours
Blink and there are
No more colours
All of them have
Each been stolen
Blink and there is
No more ours
No not one
None whatsoever
But at least there is
No one fucking up
In ivory towers
All those towers
Are now bowled over
Blink and the
Clock stops of
Its own Accord
You can take me
Anywhere my love
Anywhere at all
My lord
Blink I told you
We should have scored
So many wasted
Opportunities
Blink and the amphitheatre
Of self indulgence
Is still there
Where I am watched
If not adored
Blink you bastard
Just do as you are told
Blink and the light
Is fading
I’m going blind
But not complaining
Blink
There is a shadow
Moving
Where our patron saint
Was floored
Blink and there is
No more colour
No not a single one
Blink but will you
Mourn me baby
When I am no more
And gone
Blink oh how
The crowds applaud and
Sing their mourning song

I really like this one neville.
The notion of blinking (opening and closing ones's eyes) resonates.
Good job.
Raw yet touching
A fine write N. Might start me watchdog Fido barking, with F and B in it. Ooh!
I forgot about the B... oops........ cheers my friend and thanks for letting me off the hook too.. give Fido an effing big bone...........N
Blinking good Neville.
Blimey, bloomin thank you my friend... N
You ticked the 18+ box? Woof! He will be quiet with the bone.

Glad you liked it sylviasearcher, that means a lot to me... and one day.. blink..........
Blink?
Blink and that's all it takes for shit to transform...I can relate to this for sure...it was an interesting idea for a write as well..
loperamide should help... cheers
You're just taking the piss cos someones told you my telly's gone on the blink.
Life passes in the blink of an eye...well no it doesn't but looking back on life.... parts of it do pass in a blink or so it seems.
I wrote something similar last year using the click of a camera 'click - he caught her' not one of my best tho.
OK so you been looking thru some of my old stuff, try July 11th 2018 'promise'.
thank you for visiting these words.. I too have written about viewing the world/life from the point of view of a camera shutter clicking... I am inherently inquisitive and tend to look through the portfolio's of my writing peers, in order to get a broader, or more wide angled perspective of their work.. I will visit the page and poem to which you refer.... Have a good weekend, Neville
