Side by side
you and me
Just a kiss in between
a mere heartbeat
moving in the same direction
same moments
away, alone,
watching, staring
never daring
to change the path
to cross the line
saving parallel
universes
angel, divine
who are you,
can’t be human
as I lay myself bare
waiting for your stare
to touch me somehow
Hiding from what is known,
eyes closed to apparent, shown,
Intelligence on a loan,
no changes to routine,
will end up penniless and alone
What is real, what is fact
All seems to be an act
real ones try to fake it
minting wealth, rake it
world doesn’t value truth
reality never be smooth
Birds shouldn’t have any brains
Blondes, mallards, cranes
media, views insane
thousand million fans
collect more, act inane,
Prodigious sharp minds wasted
thinking about how food tasted
forgetting what is crumbling
atmosphere, water resources humbling
who will solve world’s misery
truth tellers handled derisory
mocked and kicked in the teeth
killed, laid with ordinary wreaths
earth soul screams and cries
to see how sapiens destroy
dejected me you don’t see now
all left is a happy ruse, decoy!!
Nature, water,
Birds and geese
Life received
a brand new lease
Cast of millions,
sleeping under sun
Ecstasy dripping joy
each breath release
Universe trolls through parchment of existence
Finding faults, grave errors, here and here
Voyage continues at pulse’s insistence
Fatal mundane passage, no one dares
Except I, matters not what happens,
Death is easy, life scares
Eyes don’t blink,
Hands stay tied
Dangers ahead
Odds defied
Success near
Release your fear
Move ahead!
Keeping going forward
Million souls’ led
Move ahead!
Mind eyes close
Nothing is said
Move ahead
Beak pinching my heart, blood drips and drips
Intentionally prolonged journeys, mind trips,
Hopping on solitary after war leg,
going down a hill, falling off a cliff, nothing grips
Just, only just, twinkling memory of your lips
Keeping me edgingly sane
Lungs full of cleanest air
Letting go utter despair
Embracing hope, calmness brings
Sense of release, newly grown wings
Speed away and fly afar,
Bravest being, brightest star
