Give Me Another Chance

Give me another chance to sip life
I am waiting impatiently for someone
to shout silently tickling joy of life
in the eardrum of my imaginations
so as to become alive as rabbit

I want to feel young like twice born and 
Proud like a peacock with a peahen

Time is bickering at me bitterly
youthfulness is vomiting rejection
every time I move in herds of heifers
sweet life is slippery like salamander
I’m told my face needs irrigation

Whenever I pray for the sun to rise,
the moon rises and sets in the east
When I invite luck to knock at the door
misfortune raise up her hand in presence
telling me she has been deployed
to look after me forever in gloom

If only I can get even a faked chance
to be young and fresh as bamboo shoots
I shall be a worker bee in the field of life
