Free...

If your world did come crashing down, (3:00 PM)

Or if your life’s completely at sea,

If the pyre of fate did thence ensue,

Its attack on you – the prey in sight,

I’ll feel for your pain, but you see,

There’s not much that I can do,

I have not the power to change fate,

To look beyond and see times to come,

For here I am, a little dot of life,

Amidst the ocean colors around,

For could I really change the wind,

Change the way life turned about?

But if there be a little dash of grey,

In your page of life – always so white,

If a sense of gloom did hold forth,

Defy your attempts to set it free

Then I shall show you the light of joy,

In little things that you could enjoy,

For hidden amidst the course of life,

Doth go unseen the remedy unseen

I make not promises that I can’t keep

I speak not words that I mightn’t follow

I dream not dreams I cannot achieve

But if there’s one thing – I believe in thee

So if there’s a thorn in your feet unseen,

I’ll look for it and try ease the pain,

If you know not what irks your soul,

Then let’s talk about it, let’s test time

If words can help you in your search,

For the source from which it does flow,

Fine strands of gloom that loom above

Making your world slow, weak, murky

I don’t claim to understand your life

I don’t proclaim to heal all your woes

But if you need to be heard out,

Or have someone reflect your thoughts

Look about and I shall be there

Together, we shall set your mind free (4:17 PM)

Amour

The golden rays of the setting sun, (10:47 AM)

Lit up her auburn hair bright

The spectacle reflected off coffee-brown eyes

Fore the horizon swallowed the sun with her heart,



Twas hardly a month ago when she

Had her life stormed by a peaceful gale

That swept her away, caught her unaware,

Was it love? That had left her at sea?



For you see it wasn’t her desire to be,

Involved in a relation she couldn’t foresee

He appeared out of the blue, refreshingly fresh,

Making her heart play tunes she hadn’t foreknown



She knew not what had sprung betwixt them,

It wasn’t a form of affection – driven by urge

Nor was there a need for the word said you see

Had there grown a new bond – complete, tacit



Those countable hours they spent engrossed in time,

She knew not how but he knew all of her needs

Soft words, reluctant smiles abridged all the gaps,

The moments faded away, each special in kind



The days slipped away at an elusive pace,

Unaware of the world, a tranquil union of life,

Before the feeling could hold, the wind had changed,

Its tune sent forth askew, a non- resonant vide



Just like the gale that had changed her light,

Had it given her sight or taken it away?

For before comprehension of the change could she,

Did the moment leave her side and so did he



Now, as she stood with the moon rising to the sky,

Silver rays caressing her body lifting her soul,

She felt energy lift above and scatter apart

Leaving a spark in her eyes igniting the night



Stood there did she, looking beyond,

Her skin shining bright, so pure and serene

She felt in her heart a warm iridescent glow,

Hidden in she, lay soft glimpses of he (11:40 AM)

Derailed

The drops larger now, pattered much louder,(4:23 PM)
Each droplet with more vigor did drop forth...
The shadows loomed large, across his path,
Reminding him what lay behind, gone past

The gale grew stronger as trees screeched in protest,
Gray skies bore witness to the lonely soul move forth
Empty streets greeted his arrival, vacant and drenched
Accompanied by none other than echoes of his breath

In the far distance he saw the first sight of human life,
Sounds in teeming resonance, blurry images flicked by
He dragged on slower now, breathing slower each step
Moved closer in to witness children at play, passing time

Unaware of the rain, the gloom, the shadows all across,
Engrossed in the moment of joy, unaware of the past,
They raced across in the rain, faces gleaming with joy,
But alas, they knew not, the clock ticks and so shall they

Somewhere is his sore body a little pang was ignited,
Reminding him of his self, of relationships left by,
He knew that there was reason, factors of elusive play,
Overshadowing the child which dormant in him did lay

He reached across the street, next to a cold wooden bench,
On which did he then lay, shadowed by ghosts of his past,
As he closed his eyes, the shadows surrounded with an urge
Swallowing his callous self, watched over by the silent rain(5:01 PM)

Pretence

Pretence

I looked back at the voices fading away,(9:34 PM)
Dragging along the path ahead of me,
Was there a meaning in all these lies?
Is there a life, amidst mindless pretence?

I find no meaning, no trace of life,
Tired of lying about how I now feel,
Tired of all games with hidden deceit,
Sick of the lies that I ensue on forth...

What’s the baseless point in acting all nice?
Paint a plastic smile across an abstract face
Laugh at humor so dry it makes me choke...
I wonder if this is fun...then what am I?

The winds have changed, time moved on
I stare blind at these faces around me
Act as though they make sense, but why?
Why lie? Why try? When it’s all a LIE?

The patterns of condescending lives
Stretched across times gone by
Sometimes merge, sometimes cross
But mostly, they just lie – Lie and LIE!

The strain is too strong, the lies too far gone
Air too thick with the stench of pretence,
My breath stops for an iota, making me choke,
Then I realize that I need take it no more

For now I have the fire, the desire
The energy the feed, the force
Need not the comfort of false ties
Moved on have I, have you, and has LIFE!!!(9:45 PM)

Eclipse

The flash across my face (11:51 AM)
Consumed the pain beside
And as I stood, clear mind
At last I see what’s right

Sight fades slowly first
Making me think back
Think of all lies I’d said
As images flitter across

One of them sneered at me
A different sign then I saw
For there was I self-conceited,
False pretences all across

I saw filth across the world
Celluloid – did I then call
It took time for me to see
In me celluloid I did find

I walked across the plains I saw
Pointing out all the little flaws
Jeering at the filthy world
And the purity of my sancta kind

And finally today I see truth redefined
I see all filth I saw – took it by my side
And as I saw the final, images flit across
I slipped into a pool of red – some good I’d DONE AT LAST!!!!!(12 pm)
