If Only

Moon glow magic
Sparkling soliloquy;
Look who's talking?

~~~~~~~~~


Feel fond caress
Stray wind tickles;
Impending rain

~~~~~~~~~


Laughter echoes
Old corridors winding;
Seeking sunlight

~~~~~~~~~


Old school building
Closed for demolition;
Echoes of odd laughter

~~~~~~~~~


Stillness and calm
Columbarium corridors;
Stray souls loiter

~~~~~~~~~


Lovebird sparrows
Chirping sweet nothings;
Bougainvillea branch

~~~~~~~~~


By these corridors
Ancient memories;
Silence once a luxury

~~~~~~~~~


Death owns assets
Urns of ashy remains;
Neat niches in rows

~~~~~~~~~


If only
We knew better;
Debt collector tales

~~~~~~~~~


Joy and sorrow
Moments of madness;
Then we die

~~~~~~~~~
