You stay where I live— no I live where I stay, as livelihood is doing in my head. Girls with pictures—pictures with girls, so few left in my phone. These are just running thoughts, as I’m chasing dreams; as a working mind in them. Skeleton hours; dead in the night, as it’s just another shift. But it slips in these grinding gears, like winter rains slipping on the road. Under the cold whispering of previous night’s wind, reminded of a cold world out there. Be it truth to live by—amongst liars to speak such is dare, and quite frankly rare. But I’m none impressed by trends, tread your grounds carefully of where you walk. Don’t slip up on your feet, bruising your knees on the winter rains slipping on the road. A side note of my love to rhyme... by second nature to plan the ending word to second line. Bringing it back this time to the starting rhyme, and referring to the second rhyme by the fourth line. Words slip easily off the tongue, dented like winter rains slipping on the road. This poem inspired was inspired by my walk through shortcuts to work. Black wet tarmac, holes in every direction. Back and forth, cars roam and go. My breath visible in this morning cold. A sight in dilated eyes; towards the sight of the winter rains slipping on the road. _This winter is cold._

Winter's rain
