Counting
Tears in an ocean of sorrows
Counting
dropped leaves on an autumn day
Counting
Days to a joyous morrow
Counting
Smiles on a sunny bright day
Counting
Love expressed by infatuated
Counting
Dreams in a child’s sleep
Counting
Madness of crowds when poked
Counting
Burnt angel wings when a heart weeps
Counting
Steps on way to fabled heaven
Counting
Long sighs during a short tryst
Counting
Lost moments, wasted efforts
Counting
and counting infinity’s infinite list
Bitter cold
all around
where I am
My heart
is in a beautiful
valley with
your thoughts
your smiling
face
Thinking
last time
we met
How Your
amazing
lips felt
Sweet taste
of pink roses
and this frigid
heart melt
Focussing on the wrong things
Life passes by
You deny
Soul wants more
Stories and lore
To tell when you are old
So be bold,
Come in the foreground
Don’t allow the world to ignore
Your journey
Passion burning
Put your hand in fire
Do what your heart desire
What if I fail,
I will be miserable for life
For better or worse
I have come so far
And currently you are?
You say:
They don’t really
care about us
(or was it MJ)
Humanity keeps
its poor in cages,
Favelas, in slums
No water to drink
No fire to burn
even our sorrow
No hope for tomorrow
Rich becomes richer
Poverty more intense
Life worse than your dogs
without essence
They say:
We are trying to help
To get you out
of living hell
To make you understand
To make you human
You have to contribute
You have to work hard
No amount of our help
Will make you smart
However we help
It will fall apart
So drop your begging bowl
Change your living ways
Come and help us
To make this earth
a better place
The fire will come
The water will run
Life less hurting
Some shining sun
I look at this paradox
These contrasting views
My nomadic life
offer nothing of use
Unable to join
any of the herds
All I can write
these scribblings,
These words!!
Four little Lily pads
Went to the sea
Want to see
Her Majesty
Unending waters
Shores not known
Fables and tales
Of the days bygone
As they got near
their hearts filled with fear
The mighty sea
was showing its colours
winds strong, waves flow
strong tides, high brow
At the bay, out of their way
lived the kind Octopus
Saw these novices
Unable to move
Unable to enjoy
The turquoise blue
Ocean glue
Beautiful sun
Or have any fun
Calmed them down
By singing a song
Let them drink
Something strong
Mood restored
Fear no more
They went in
Lagoon grinned
Met the wise coral
Heard from her
Ethics and morals
Eel came around
Electricity abound
Charged their hearts
Journey restarts
it was time to go
Back to their pond
Pads truly happy
Wanted octopus along
For him to see
Beautiful world
beyond this sea
He came by
Thoroughly enjoyed
The tranquility
Life quality
Of calmer waters
And smaller beings
No adventure of the sea
Just contentment and glee
Why don’t you talk
Why don’t you listen
Why don’t you care
That is not so fair
Stop looking at your phone
Please listen to my moan
Everyday it is something else
Could be work, hard sells
Or this eternal sitting still
Life so boring, grinding mill
Time doesn’t pass, time kills
I know, you have your bills
Friendly chats, business skills
Here is a request, a beg from me
Just move me a little everyday
Give me a hug, something nice to say
Don’t run away, please stay
Will make me happy, make me gay
Say and say, all you secrets to me,
I am safe, all the way
danced few moments
fate beckoning
knowledge of mutual existence
Hope reckoning
floating to
the seventh heaven
eternity, sudden
cruel awakening
I won’t refuse you
into my heart
I have your thought
I beg you, please reveal
I never want to lose you
Into world wilderness
Jungle of unrecognised
Unknown faces
Undetermined bases
With no traces
All I have got
some shoe laces
and sweet memory of you
Not sure, how true
losing my mind
a searching insane
every road, each lane
calling your name
was that your name
or my day dream
Before I lose all
not a single thought
remains whole
Come back
your sole and my soul
await you, eagerly
yours truly
Taste fickle
Eat, Chuckle
Furrow brows
Hurt knuckle
Loose belt
Tighten buckle
and enjoy
Limbs stretch
Heart pumps
Body dumps
Liquids, fats
Knees crumble
Mind fumbles
Rumble jumble
Waste in haste
My advice,
Bit of vice
Laugh and rest
Dance and fest
Moves to test
Grooves best
Not a moment
Life to waste
Short, sweet
Go with the beat
Till it stops
Beep beep
Bleeeeep
Day passes in daze
Night just prolongs
Every moment torments
Soul for so long
A scream comes out
You curse and you shout
Why fell in love?
Darkness responds in cold
A chill passes your bones
Reminds you of your heart
It is not made of stones
A scream comes out
You curse and you shout
Why fell in love?
Clock ticks unbearable
Sadness awakens soul
More twisting and turning
You roll and roll
A scream comes out
You curse and you shout
Why fell in love?
Mid night has struck
More pain to come
Some relish these moments
Unbearable for some
A scream comes out
You curse and you shout
Why fell in love?
