Waiting

Waiting

Waiting for you
Dear, to come –
… Oh, the times we’ve had
Oh, the dreams we shared
Waiting for reasons to fill in –
While Heart gets into musing
We lose them into voids

Waiting over at
The table –
Without, cups of coffee
Yeah, so long, I’ve waited …
Waiting for the dreams to die away
After you’d decided
Not to come, not to be mine

Waiting over cups
Of coffee –
You liked it with cream
And I liked it black –
Waiting for words to make sense –
For life to make some sense,
I lose reason to live

Waiting for me
To return –
From dreaming about you,
Those words said in hush
Waiting for those hands to hold mine
…The way you walked back
Without kissing goodbye

Yellow is the name of the Song

Yellow is the name of the Song

A certain song that I used to know …

In a certain way, that it used to be sung,

I felt it play all over again, in my mind,

Why? Or, haven’t I had, left them all behind?

 

A song that I taught myself to sing …

I sang it day and night, sang it along,

With all those whom I knew, I felt,

Once, it take a life its own, and left me behind.

 

I feel taken, through the pastures all over again,

That I promised myself that I’d not return,

Ever to … but, I think, return I should.

The why is a thing, I’d have to make as I go…

 

So, I’m inching, speeding and inching again,

With a fistful of fragmented afterthoughts,

That I’d kept away. This morning, as I opened

Up the table-drawers , a yellow breeze did flow in …

 

From somewhere, I hope not, that it was from within.

Dedication: For Sindy, …if this’d lift her spirits .
