Power supply goes off
And standby doesn't turn up
You start lingering

Whispering sweet things
More advanced than a Wi-Fi
You stay connected

Blessings in disguise
In this darkness, light so bright
You bring to my soul

Simple beginnings
Forever remain afresh
So gentle and mild

Only those two words
"Hi there" written on a card
Came from you through post

Those days I wasn’t
A bard - that was in the year
Nineteen eighty nine

Delighted I was
Didn’t know how to express my
elated feelings

Now in this darkness
You hold the torch - I cant write
Doth feelings endorse

In a polished falsetto
About love gone awry
In bitter word pictures
Painted he the images:
a wild afternoon wind
Her skirts ballooning
As she sent him packing
The sun winked sadly
The milky way chuckled
A brooding hen cackled
And she gave him a smile
That buried him forever
Outside  her true annals
Just as his forlorn song
Faded in the empty distance
And so the sad tale ended
Even as it was starting

a shooting star falls
mythology
it's trail blazing glory
magic

When words are used to express uncertainty
As if they are the source of knowledge and wisdom
Know you then: no matter what we might say
All in all it's just another blind walk in the dark

With a baby giggle
And a shaky dawdle
The toddler advances
As with a dry cackle
And senile posture
A senior citizen true
stretches an arm out
To meet his soul mate
The two are helpless
Against technology
