Air exudes
it’s time to fly
Up and up
in the sky
territories to explore
heart to implore
trysts in greens
Emotions unseen
words implying
fractured meaning
Souls in need
desperate cleaning
Altitude silence
Blue sky violence
Colours pushing limits
Impatient yearnings
Intellect earnings
Thoughts imploding
Mind exploding
infinite impossibilities
No desire to land
Flight extends
Life acquires
moment sublime
beyond time
another year come to close
last goodbyes, dusk glows,
telling tales, far and wide,
desert mist, deep ocean tides,
creativity rediscovered at mundanity’s cost,
whatever pretence, need to be, was lost,
dark days and bright nights,
orphaned sadness, gloomy delights
a decade will go, when looking behind,
that last dusk, what memories bind,
missing unconditional love, affection now,
and a wish that evening return somehow
Most beautiful place
of the universe
I don’t have a song for you
All my words are lost
Love stung, stabbed
Made me a loon
Mind of stone
I did get a kiss
at what cost?
Dear one
full of fear one
why worry
future would come
we would be same
passion may tame
But love…yes, love
would keep us warm
hand and hand
weather any storm
that daily kiss
you emboss on my lips
would last me for years
my face reflects
joyful tears
your embrace holds
million fables,
stories you told
more than enough
for my old age
my beautiful
vivacious sage
come, lie beside me
under open skies
I feel free
even stars agree
on a moonless night
your hand on my heart
what a wonderful sight
I will never lose
my drive, my thirst
of you and that smile
just one last wish
I don’t do goodbyes
please let me die first
hundreds of miles
snow and sleet
hands dead numb,
frost bitten feet
thoughts insane,
roaming in vain,
what could be found
in these frozen plains
hoping to disappear in
icy lakes, blackened trees
perhaps to be found dead
in satin hell freeze
purpose and aim
with certainty unknown
one day wished to
walk on my own
tired of people,
tired of things
joy, pain, responsibility
mundanity brings
wanted to go away
where no one came
nothing to be given
credit for, none could blame
did work finish fine?
or studied on time?
this chore was completed?
did that poem rhyme?
essence of life, living
please pray tell
is it any better than
this ice cold hell
Ceramic act, earthen ware
millions splashed randomly
not a penny to spare
craft adorning vast palaces,
bare minimum living, hard to bear,
fare isn’t fair, utter waste of a prayer
King’s court
Queen’s best
ages respect
lost in haste
libations
never again
