Last mile

Long journey, on a winding road
Mood swings, pendulum moves
Reflects the scene been seen
Who are you with, where one has been
Drum beats, hearts pump
Jubilation and million songs
Want this journey to prolong
Sorrows of some when want to share
Eyes shed tears, melancholy you hear
Distances appear, too much, hard to bear
Tryst in mind, sparrows sing sweet
songs of longing, and impending meet
possibilities endless, fly on your feet
All such journeys end one way or another
destinations you reach, memories you gather
further and further, until reaching the last mile

Desert blues

Flight or fight
What is right?
How to judge?

Rotation

it is my turn
to swim, to run
travel tough times
and walk in water
millions not required
few coins we are after
to feed loved ones
growing daughters, young sons
and allowing some rest
when the day is done

Again

Another day another journey
decades have passed
since we last met
hearts were broken
souls were stolen
Why meet again
when all is set
Life, love, lust, trust,
Want to remember
the pain again
Want to be
Insane again
Emotions thunder
Rain again
I miss that
I miss you

Certainty (in colour)

it would happen
perhaps, lately or
now, immediately
out of nowhere,
death will arrive
breath will dive
pulse will slow
pupils dilate
lungs deflate
gasping for air
strength, flair
all left, mind bereft
last few words
I am no more
certainty in store
of death and demise
all truth and lies
one short sigh
to be buried with I

Tilt shift

Life’s balance tilted
All possessions jilted
Amidst my brethren
Comrades, companions
Time to swim the sea
Here I want to be
Nowhere else
All truths false
Except you!
