Moribund
Stock in the
qurgmire of the
runway
Chains of reactions
appreciating within
my loins,
Streams of memories
mumbling
My heart knitted to
his moribund imagery
As i stoop on my
kneel conquering my
imagiantions,
But the mighty wings
of the dark cloud
touch my lips,
O Lord , not again
My thoughts stood
between my mouth, i
mumble the unspoken
words but the heaven
turn deaf ear
In the corner of my
heart, i slip into
his room, beaming at
his pic, as a migthy
ocean cascaded from
my eyes
It was a hot
afternoon, i was
just eighteen but i
could tell a girl
from a woman, but i
couldn't tell if
grandpa was asleep
or gone
This day, i sat on
his moribund chair,
the exact chair that
dragged him out of
the living....

dedicated to grandpa
