Noli me tangere
The elderly man with sad brown eyes
Sat on the terrace looking at the sea
Unable to face up to his many failures
He fantasizes and overestimates the
A few times, he was a success
Neighbors thought of him as harmless
Until someone tried to take advantage
Of his friendliness
But they were met with the coldness from
His icy silence left him alone
The old man doesn’t know he is cruel
He sees his manner as a self-defense
He is, he thinks, the ultimate survivor

In life many are the races
For varying requirements to cater
Because of an undeniable fact
That different abilities people got
The capabilities differing even further
There are those who are too fast
They will sprint for a few seconds,
Then hold their breath in rest
They choose the 100 meters race
Others moderate but sure
They will take the 21km half marathon
Others less moderate but more certain
They will do the 42 km marathon?
What happens when one overestimates;
His speed and gets into the 100meters race?
His strength and joins the 21 km race?
His perseverance and joins the 42 km race?
But what happens when adrenalin malfunctions?
And one lies to himself that he’s an athlete
I would rather be sure am one
Then slow but sure do the 42 km marathon
Perhaps victory upon me would come, who knows?

Days I may drift from my character
And monotony seems the better deal
To stay or go may be just as equal
When time overestimates its appeal
Living within your memories, a haze
Recalling a past mesmerized, a maze
Life could be spent in so many ways
She turns nights into brighter days
Her love returns sweetness consuming
She is the keystone to my foundation
Without her warmth my life is colder
Together in our own unique dimension
