the last line

 

I begin as if I were ending.


That's all he said 

In his suicide note.


He did have our 

Attention, 


Then,

Not for too long.


I went/left/oh-nothing.


He should have said that.

And gone.


Damn him!

correct path

 

Born #mercurial,

It took decades 

To correct path-


The day did come

When friends became

Smiling strangers


And lovers, well,

Just forgotten

Never googled,


It still flickers

In midnight air,

A restrained ghost.

Love's worst

 

Don't fret about pre-

mature bodily function.

That's not Love's worst side.

faith

 

I would like to chase the sun.

But each step on the icy ground

gets shorter and slower.

Till there’s a still longing.


There’s the company of trees.

Shorn of leaves, with green mossy sides,

age-old wisdom, helpless #fate.

Call it, maybe, His ways.

It is tougher still, not to let winter in.

Within where there’s no cover

but faith which reason shuns.

Nor assures another summer.


Is that all? To survive?

Darwin says it’s easy: one to the other,

a smile, a laugh and in bed together.

Possibly not when life is a routine.


He had a choice – to let them live or love.

There’s no reason actually, in either;

a whim, like the seasons that please or not.

He did not know about the faith.
