I see millions of fingers curled up as fists protesting death everyday but, believe me friend, my hands will be one in very few biding farewell to life
Because every breath that I take, takes me a step closer to death,
Every breath that i hold makes me feel like a fool refusing to believe that it will come to me someday,
Life is a garden where death blooms
So don't tell me not to drink, jump and smoke because I don't want to die wanting to live more,
Its not because I am not happy
I just don't want death to surprise me,
I wanna see it coming
And live
I wanna run through narrow lanes, through alleys, through staircases leading both ways and through highways
I wanna swing through ups and downs, twist and shout, stumble and stay to redeem the imbalance and run again
I wanna live as long as I am alive because deathbed is a bed of regrets but believe me friend, I will be smiling
I have befriended hundreds and hurt none,
I have grown up right from the spot I was wrong,
I have loved and been loved by some
So I will remain, as memories and stories for generations to come
And be remembered as the man who never died
Because every time I question life, life hits me with another question just to teach me that life is just for living
Live until you die

You got me on the top of the world
And I don't ever want to come down
I got a smile painted on my face
You got me looking like a circus clown

I can't explain it in words
Not ones that can be spoken
You got me under a spell
And I know it can't be broken

But God, I'm begging,
Please don't ever break it
'Cause I'm thinking about losing you
And I know I couldn't take it
I'm back, baby.

Empty branches, nakedness stark,
Against an undescribable grey dark,

Sky,

Evergreens mockery, of winter's brown,
Mist so heavy the tall grass will surely drown,

Fog

Mixed with rain to the air a heaviness brings,
Here's the deal, there surely will be, Spring!





Bring on the poetry,
Hands not frozen
To an aging keyboard
Unseasonably warm
So why am I so cold?

This too is a season,
Or a trial of reason
It ....appears.

— The End —
