Regrets

A kind stranger I met
We kept talking and he said
You know she was beautiful
I only have few regrets
I should have kissed her more
Should have loved her sore
Should have hugged till dusk
Keep smelling her musk
Should have played all nights
Visited far away sites
Should have laughed on her jokes
Gave all till I was broke
Should have smiled when she blushed
Made her calm when she rushed
She was all I had
I just worked instead
Now she is gone I am alone
In this world on my own
Have kids and such
But (with tears in his eyes), he said
I miss her so so much
Then we drank in her memory
He said don’t feel sorry
I am counting my days
In all possible ways
Waiting to meet her again
Body loses and I gain
My freedom to fly
The day I die
We become one again

All in one basket…and broken

Love, trust and belonging
Can not help you for longing
all or nothing is the equation
win or lose is the situation
no middle ground is known
mercy is never never shown
That last single step was wrong
else was perfect, heart strong
Can’t keep it like this for long
giving life away for a song
if it is love why such rules
you take me for a simpleton, fool
each conversation is an exam
throwing toys out of the pram
You do as you deem fit
all is broken, I admit

Hands

How much you have seen
Where have you been
What have you done
What have you won
Bare hands, hard work
Clearing cleaning others dirt
No amount in pension
no car no mansion
Just me and my brush
Nothing urgent no rush
All my dreams got crushed
Long long time ago
