Winter Dusk

The first crescent moon
Following the setting sun
With Saturn above
In the clear December sky
I send a wish to a star

the sun still rises
the moon also but shyly

The cry of death echoes cold,
Following a desperate night, dawn weighs heavy,
Hold the cool Moonlight until freedom sails,

Without
    crossing
    the bridge

    without
    following
    the road,

    do not
    exist
    journey...!

of my foresight illusion.
Wait! Where was I headed?
My cogwheel brain’s in seclusion.

there are two of us in here
one is ego, the other soul
by following the scent of love

Bars are letting out
Last El to south Chicago
Unrelenting rain
Eyes dripping with pure regret
Screaming steel guitar cries

The underside of dawn,
a promise ill remembered

Pariku-A Rageful Blizzard

A blizzard hit my city
after a calm Christmas Day...
cars stuck in snow, wind lashing;
I abandoned mine following tire tracks.

Free Spirit

Untamed and unseen
Following no rules of man
The wind makes It's strike

Trump held a Bible in his hand
(A book he does not understand)
He took an oath
Yet betrayed both
The people and his motherland

Following the waves that flow

moonlight caresses our nights
no roadmap no gps
just following instinct

This world , but
The heart
Shall not go
Where there
Is no kind of love

struggling for a few seconds
flowing with wind now

astonished forest watches

I am a finely tuned machine 
Following a rugged routine 
But I smell musty 
And my joints are rusty 
I think I need some Valvoline.

following bliss beat’s suggestion

many a lira did they fetch
Died following a Cavalry horse fall

In the following months to come
Want to lose the weight off my bum
Will go to the gym
Will try to think thin
But to toffees I will succumb

we get adrift easily 
yet we move forward 
perching hope on a belief 
of following the right path.

Notions and Sentiments Following a Somewhat Salacious Encounter

Painted were her eyes, 
Somewhat azure and syphilitic, her heart;
And when I got home I realized, 
I'd just fallen in love with a tart(!)
