Improbable

Upside down chairs in the air
an aspiring leader, young, with flair
not doing it for power, just for people he cares
a good hard stare, some strange improbabilities

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

Deadwood

Life has passed
nothing to show
spending last days
vegetative state
In early years
should have stayed late
made people laugh
changed my fate
now my dear
It’s too late

Why

Centuries passed
stood my ground
generations born
Kings sworn
suffered all seasons
and more, before
butchered
slaughtered
was cut down
roots blown
on a piece of land
you ‘own’

Soul Search

Artefacts, instruments,
silk, chiffon
Needing more to
Own and loan
Contentment no known

Canvas and frame

scorching heat
head to toe sweat
hands getting tired
nails are wet
Hard work,
heart’s work
Created art work
priceless,
sold for pennies
true artists few
fakes so many

It’s time

When the time is up
let me see your face
touch your lips
listen to your heart
last breath release
love will increase
soul will not cease
death in absolute peace

Cross mannequin

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

Cinderella

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

Pickles

Taste fickle
Eat, Chuckle
Furrow brows
Hurt knuckle
Loose belt
Tighten buckle
and enjoy
