RUNNING AROUND - DOESN’T MEAN JOGGING
Glad I said it because I could,
could finally say “goodbye.”
Hearing the words needed to say,
was painful … can’t deny.
I loved him once, so very much,
he meant the world to me.
I know one day, he’ll soon become,
a shadowed … memory.
At first, I was so confident,
that he belonged to me.
I was seeing an illusion,
what I wanted … to see.
Looking into his eyes I saw,
how great our lives could be.
But in his eyes, what didn’t see
were others … not just me.

I’m an old guy jogging
like Joe Biden, kind of goofy looking.
The wind is dragging its feet,
the sun is frying sweat again.
I like to rock on the porch
shopping in my mind
for stuff too expensive to actually buy,
but out here people stare,
young girls giggle,
dogs sniff and yap, some attack.
I get a runners fizzy-dizzy,
then cuss under my breath.
I think I will shop for a Tesla later
or a New Chevy Corvette.
Maybe Amazon has some miniature models
for a kid my age.

no morning jogging.
I find In my running shoe.
One scared little frog.

Rest in peace. People gather around to pay homage. Every one gets busy! I feel the soul’s craving for solace. Probably the last few minutes, the most precious moments, when the soul can say “Good Bye!”.
I curiously asked mom, “what would you do, after you die?"
To this she replied:
Don’t mourn, when I die,
If you feel that we had a strong tie.
I promise you,
I’ll be with you, throughout your life.
My love! My daughter! you are my part,
How will I depart?
And yes! My parents will miss me the most.
So, I would rather prefer to be a ghost.
I’ll be with my parents too.
I’ll look after them well,
that's my vow!
I will wake you up every morning.
Together we all will go for jogging.
When dad, would be in some urgent meeting,
I will sit in his lap and still won’t be seen!
I know, I am his life.
I’ll also prove that, I am a perfect wife!
I would fly up in the sky,
I would dive down into the sea,
Without any hue and cry!
On the snow and in the rain.
May be! It might be another gain.
There is lots more to say.
But, let’s wait for the day!
When I die,
There should be no sigh.
Else, I will also cry!

I jogged, one foot after the other,
Lungs wide open to welcome,
Breathings of the warm evening air,
Eyes stung at the touch of
Cruel sweat, saturated and salty.
I jogged, a flat branch overhead,
My left arm reached out to touch
The tree and its clippings,
Dwindling down the serpent's throat,
Though my fingers were amiss.
I jogged, against the moving air,
Soles hitting the ground aloud,
Bullets firing as if the sound,
Outpacing the farthest person,
All was fair and square.

A November jog
don’t know where I’m going, but
my shadow comes too
