Everlasting

Remember me like this
    No further,
   Or 'everything else'...
That is a large rest.

 
Just like this:
As I remember you and I will,
    Perpetually.

 
Your smile in the sun
My hair in the wind
In our intimate dance

   Impenetrable...
Our secret
Our kiss
  Our bodies.

 
Naked bodies in the sunset
    Touching the abyss
By the pleasure of being together
    Which is more than just 'near'...

 
Remember me like this

 
Without passage of time
No form or space
Because 

   forever
my eyes will see with the same brightness,
my heart will seek the same light

 
And the sound of our sea
will be there to remind us
    we cannot forget.

And the waves will dance

Invariably
At our pace and sound....

Silence

Interminable lines

Threaten 

The little peace that might

Reside...

Red tape

Banks and health centres

And also to get on

The big wheel...

A drop of sweat

Runs down my spine

And I make a try

As I bide my time

And I see their lives

Procrastinating

Like mine

Longing for a turn

Without a smile

Unable to enjoy anyone’s  sympathy

Not even mine.

Bloody Hell

Everything is on top

On top of everything.

I would like to write about

Something really deep

As this out of beat breathes...

After hearing

about missiles here

and nuclear disasters there...

And all the support

our hearts can launch

to theirs

won’t reduce their devastation

in the least

and the pain they experience

and the fear and desperation

I can share in total confusion

Total helplessness

At awe- we are at awe.

How appalling life can get to be

On top of the previous ones

This time Earth spoke its mind!

And that could be me

and my siblings

And on top of all that

The unchangeable reality

On top of everything

More things, more debris

More bloody hell.

Getting On

Too long away...

I am not waiting

I am just hoping

That the train is a nice place

To stay maybe even sway

Either way

Can take the whole day

I don’t care about destinations

Nowhere is as good a place

As whichever

I just want to sit

Make myself comfortable

Might be going

  north or east

I can always come back

  south or west

My only quest

   to get on that train.
