You said you'd tell me

something about

how does it feel to

lose it all,

not all at once,

but just slowly watch it

crawling away one thing

after another,

that feeling when you

sit there watching,

knowing too well

there's not much

you could do about it.

Well, after all,

I tell you,

I tell you how does that feel

to know too much

about yourself

and yet too little about

anything else,

I tell you I cease

to understand,

but no, I understand very well

every feeling you've ever

told me about, because

someone else has already managed

to explain it to me

a few times, which was

half a life before you

but is still just a couple of pages back.

How can I ever stand up again?

Now go ahead,

you tell me.. :
spaces between the lines hold just about the right time to think about it
I love you* from the deck rail
as when two ships pass, and there's
a mysterious longing and regret
in their passing
.
F.P.
First was a light,
so blinding, so raw
rods of steel
blocking his courage
taken his sight!

As he managed
to get away, he felt
suspicious and strangely
unsafe as if calmness
before storm took
over his life

He walked
he walked thru alleys
concrete and cold

There he met a lady,
she offered him a gift
A gift which is to give
a recipient a great relieve

"You would be able to escape
these abandoned walls and roads
full of pain and resentment.
Do not cling on hesitation,
free yourself."

"You are tempting my lady,
however these escapes you
speak of are merely temporary
blinks of a steps I am about to
go through.
I am sure we will meet again
I say farewell for now."

he lowly walked away
Say it's true,
that life's worth all the dying
we do.
- M. P. J.
Sitting under the tree
meditating
Smelling of a fresh mowed grass
Running along the river
I can hear the wind blowing
behind my ears
Listening to the Coltrane every
morning when I wake up
those are the pleasures
of my life, I thought.
Thought  boat has finally
set the fine course
Thought I've
reached it.

Still there is a lone bird
chirping deep inside.
Singing a new song
every time
I forget.

I think it's fine that
he is down there
I really don't know
what my life
would be
without him.
And ever since I last
Saw you passin' by,

I know,

One day I'll die with you
In my mind.
I cannot think about any other way
this could end up,
love.
