WHISTLE!
In this very fraction of second
you showed me how you would end.
huh....! Am short of words
to tell what has happened!
With unpacked endowments
with unlived moments
With unpaid emolument
With undelivered love
Would you really leave
and Shut
just like that...?
Hope no, as you did my beloved Life
you know, We have to settle our strife,
and, with uncleared belief
how can I imagine such a grief!?
Ma Dear! I will await your whistle
before death's-eye twinkle
you know the nature of this jungle
the things that I need to handle,
Thus,
be it with bell or even a yell, just tell
beforehandly please whistle whistle.

Across the murdered meals,
cigarettes stabbed here and there
into sorbet,
bits of chocolate flake cake,
he will start to relate their story,
but she will-
t-t-t-
and tell it over the uncleared plates,
coffee spills,
to others shiny eyes
and the eager nods of her friends-
Until he didn’t know her
or how they had begun.
The years which came and gone I was to face
With many days of waste without a care
The motionless time I cannot replace
Leaves a cloak with shredded holes I must wear
I chose to walk upon an uncleared path
With nothing there to guide along the way
To contemplate the years of aftermath
To understand the reasons that outweigh
I am content with choices that I've made
Through each traveled year of life, I found
In a century born I could not evade
My soul was trapped in unfamiliar ground
The world I found was far beyond my mind
I yearned for something there I could not find
1/8/18
There's a heavy dew 'pon the ground
A gift from last nights rain
Then I saw the path whence was made
By an animal plain
Then I saw another path, too
They both came from the road
Then they converged in the front yard
Together was their mode
Two deer_a mother and her fawn
A youth of this years birth
Will it live to follow the path
By ancestors of earth
Deer were here then wiped out by man
Lyme disease disappeared
Gone with deer whose ticks spread it round
Now both are back uncleared
There's good_ bad in most everything
Now the garden fenced round
But the deer's beauty is enjoyed
All the year most profound
at the blanket of early morn,
soft and sweet i toss and turn.
my heart raced a breathless song;
speak t me do i belong?
i dreamed of sadness a heart ache song
oh my heart, why, you seemed so wrong?
when dawn breaks, darkness disappeared
my eyes are shut, conscience uncleared.
it pierced, it hurts, the sweet sad song;
let my dreams flee, as i grow strong
as the warmth now embraces me
i hear that blissful melody
the new day has come to unfold.
a forgotten promise, i hold.
hope lies from within, now i cry
as i plead, do let blue birds fly.
... and then my heart is at peace.
