Wipe these sobs
Teary eyed
Streaks on cheeks
Stiffle moans
Runny nose

Snort the mucus
Clear the sputum
Puffy eyed
Soaky pillow
Hoarse voice

It is alright
It is over
Gone forever
Buried in Dirt
Wasted years

Drenched in sweat
Fever pitch nights
Pillow comfort
Tossing n turning
All night long

It is a new Dawn
Sun is rising
Moon is setting
Birds are chirping
Write a new flow
Find thyself

Live free
Fly your path
New and bright
Forget forever
The past is gone
You are alive

Silence
Please say no more
Listen
To you heartbeat
Feel
Your heartbeat
Drum
To your own emotion

I kept quite
Didn't say much
Heard
My heart beat
Felt
This heart right here
Drumming
To my every emotion

Peace and quiet
Are all I hear
Listening keenly
All day long
Eager for peace
For intense calm
If only
Kabiru Mar 2023
Real fresh breath of dawn air,
All green sprouts from the soft earth,
Indeed the season is here,
New life on the plain.

Rain on us oh heavens clouds,
Arise from this scorched earth,
Initial sprouts of the season,
New life is what we need.
Kabiru Dec 2022
Standing right there in the room
I could feel your strong presence
I am sure I saw some movement

...a gasp of breath probably the very final
...a twitch a faint one for sure

the floor shifted,
you had won,
but you lingered on,

if only I was brave enough to ask you why,
can this one soul please just come back and bid us all farewell
Parting, is, sorrowful

Who are are you?
You don't know me!
I don't see you.
Go away!

I don't know you.
Leave!
Get out!
Be gone!

Invisible
Blank
Pale
Lifeless

It's Cold Outside
Coffee or Tea
Bourbon or Whiskey
It's Warm Inside

Warm up dress up
Refresh on a beverage
Neat Ice or Chaser
Cool down take it off

It must be the weather
I need a jacket
I need a drink
I need to cool down

Must be a fever
