It's a tragedy of confusion,
With mingled remorse of sorts.
The doubtful few were weary,
Though soulful were their souls.
It's a barbaric camaraderie
The loved ones, unloved; far
Holy was their affinity,
Though, always from afar.
It's the ache of a new dawn,
Light piercing by heart's frost.
Blighted innocence, little was left
So much of yesteryear was lost !
It's a gentle trudge to unknown,
Handful do make it past noon,
Yearning to stop by, admire it all
Hath stopped so many too soon !
It's the night owl's sharp screech,
Attempting cordiality with the dark,
It was wise and could fathom,
What busy bees never could hark !
It was a beautiful endeavour of sorts,
Trudging of life, and it's miseries,
As nubile squires don the cloak
To try get over the long night !

Tomorrow held such promises
then the next day came
and broke all of them.

Last year,
september was dressed with fears
angsty, was october,
november, cold, with a longing to be back
december showed a lively palette of colors,
yet worked with
january, in facing moments of truth...
last sunday started beautiful...but it turned horrible
as explosions took some lives, and injured many...
yesterday, monday was a lovely...cool day,
brimming with apprehension, but
the end of the day was pink-happy, with content
i met some true friends
today, tuesday, is another day to face
tons of things to do and to finish
...but i am looking forward to twilight,
when i recall today's events...
days and nights are a potpourri of yellows
and grays...of accomplishments, and failures
of expectations...fulfilling...and frustrating...
we try to forget...but they are indelible
they persist, they echo back,
.
just like,
my pixie cut brownish hair...the dye,
persist...pushed further down by
undeniable years...manifested by the gray
blending below, with the true color of my hair...
...c'est la vie....

Sometimes,
Being strong is lonely
Happiness is obligation
Love is slavery.
Being alone is freedom
Tears are relieving
Hatred is bravery.
Nights are beautiful
Nights are intimate
Warm sun stings in the eye
Falling is freeing
Falling is beginning
Earthy land against the dusty sky
Stars, with their borrowed light,
Are more hopeful
Than the moon and all of the nigh
Than all of people
Than you
And I

Qu'est-ce que vous êtes,
Je vois vos yeux,
Dans le nuit.
Mon seul ami.
Ma belle copine,
Vous êtes ma vie.
La poesie de mes contanporaires.
M'inspire.
Je le respire,
Je lire, ça me tue.
C'est ma vie.
