Recovery

I walk the path, alone,

Through river, and through stone,

I wish I could drone, on, but I can’t,

Damn, that’s so criticism prone.

A new day, a new life,

A new year, a new month,

Change, metamorphosis,

From pupa to chrysalis,

There’s transform-ation,

Transfiguration, alteration,

But no altercation,

Let’s take action, no enact-ion,

So we don’t face traction, or friction,

Well this is fiction, and I got,

An addiction, to rhymes,

But no diction-ary for words,

So this is all I can do.

Words repeated, repetition,

Can’t be avoided in this rendition,

This isn’t a replay, or relay, redo,

No I won’t, Rebirth done before,

Now time to regroup,

But not renew, the rhyme,

The words flowing, reappearing,

From the past, as I’m trying,

And retrying, to rhyme,

And I’m failing, don’t rebuff, me,

For experimenting, research,

To just restore, the meaning,

The strength, don’t relegate, me,

For this, creation, done for recreation,

No reentry, into this space, my space,

Only mine, to do, some rejuvenation,

No reminiscence, or remorse,

Don’t retort, soon I’ll change,

I’ll be back, to do, some recovery.

Delicacy Of Moments

It’s a big day, tomorrow,

Special, different, unique,

Rare, precious, the chocolate,

Waiting, to appear, to disappear,

The books, threatening,

To destroy, to eat, to disintegrate,

The brown pie, making me integrate,

Pi, the hardness, and softness, wet,

Yet, ready, to squash, not orange,

But salt-y, eww, not dirty,

Boring, but necessary, today,

Not really, phew, tiring,

Scary, it’s eerie, leery, ignored,

When there’s something to eat,

Fiery, now don’t get teary, ‘cause,

I rhymed, in between, sudden,

Unexpected, not unseen, I’ll stop,

This is losing its sheen.

Come tomorrow, the fear,

Relegated, eliminated, decimated,

Only to return, larger, come,

The day, next, cared by none?

Me, no, you, I don’t damn know,

‘Cause it’s unlike, for us, yes,

I’ll be smiling, and laughing,

And eating, and enjoying,

Not tanning, though its Sunday,

Horrible, the joke, not the mood,

That’s good, and there’s food,

A lot, come on dude,

Don’t be rude, and don’t,

Give lewd, comments, to me,

Or gestures, to spoil, the day,

Yours, I don’t care, mine, no,

Flashes, you might, not whole,

The fun, unspoiled, to reminisce,

Later, months, days, years,

All ‘cause it’s not the days,

It’s the moments, which we remember.

All For Granted

A way, a path,

A direction, to move,

To find, a reason,

An answer, a motive,

A knife thrown, literally,

Piercing, sharp, falling,

Red rising, felt, not seen,

Embedded deep- a wound,

Unseen, a scar, a memory,

For life, a matter, important,

But minute, not time, but tiny,

A speck, a dot, a grain falling,

Healing, no, but bleeding,

The eyes, not blinking,

The face, not flinching,

The brows, not wrinkling,

The cut not found, the sight,

Still seeking, forgotten, no,

Forgiven, never, the words spoken,

The edge, verbal, sharp, cutting,

The chance, soon coming,

A reply, the answer, the motive,

Addressed, known, but not told,

As was I, misled, the day I took,

The hand, and it took mine,

And me, all for granted.

Life, A Mirror

I can’t find you,

Hidden, in the plethora,

Of thoughts, mixed,

And complicated, but,

Same, yet too diverse,

Vivid, but not different,

Distant, but not far,

A hazy reflection,

Curtained, not enveloped,

Portraying, but not showing,

All that’s hidden in plain sight,

An image, yet not just a mirage,

A perception, but not an illusion,

Your face, abstract, unmoved,

Undeterred, unperturbed,

A replica of water, still,

Running deep, and I, a pebble,

Disturbing, upsetting, destroying,

The surface, the calm, the tranquil,

Life as it is, a mirror, not a wall,

So are you lost, or am I?
