Promenade

You wake up
to again lie down
Not to sleep
but to drown
Drown in the thoughts
Thoughts when they sing
Sing they the song, Keep Walking.

You step out
out in the town
Town full of masks
Masks when they frown
Frown from the inside
Insides when they ding
Ding they the carol, Keep Walking.

You reach a stop
Stop at a fair
Fair not it was
was there to stare
Stare at a burial
Burial made them ping
Ping they the ballad, Keep Walking.

You reach a stage
stage past that age
Age of the wisdom
wisdom on a page
Page which was blank
Blanks when they ting
Ting they the anthem, Keep Walking.

You meet a someone
someone on the way
Way was a curve
curve made us sway
sway like a wave
Waves when they zing
Zing they the melody, Keep Walking.

You come back
back to your start
Start not the same
same was your part
Part irked your mind
Mind made it ring
Ring they the Lullaby.......  Keep Walking.

Zilch

Nothing is there
Nothing you can see
Nothing lies bare
Nothing you can be.

Nothing is inside
Nothing is here
Nothing comes out
Nothing can go there.

Nothing I can say
Nothing I have to speak
Nothing if I may
Nothing there is to peek.

Nothing here I feel
Nothing I want to do
Nothing left to heal
Nothing to look back to.

Nothing is the word
Nothing is the rhyme
Nothing there to gird
Nothing is a mime.

Nothing looks like you
Nothing is always here
Nothing is a breeze
Nothing has this layer.

Nothing is a me
Nothing is a you
Nothing there is to be
Nothing if its like that too.

Clockwork

Tick Tick.....Tick Tick
I wake up
open my eyes
Tick Tick.....Tick Tick
I close them again
The sleep gradually dies
A dream fades in pain
Tick Tick.....Tick Tick

The calendar,what year it says?
Two thousand fourteen
Tick Tick.....Tick Tick
Already?
A jolt, a mighty unseen
how have I been?
Oh, I hurdled through how many days?
Tick Tick.....Tick Tick

What am I doing here?
Where do I belong?
Tick Tick.....Tick Tick
Just yesterday I was there
was running bare
with great fanfare
To where?
Tick Tick.....Tick Tick

And I am headed to?
Is it that far?
Tick Tick.....Tick Tick
Do I have to march alone?
No?
I am with....you?
says who?
you?
who??
Tick Tick.....Tick Tick

How much...ummmm..time will it take?
Will I get a break, perhaps another take?
Tick Tick.....Tick Tick
Will I, You sure, reach there?
exactly where?
you care?
What was that sound?
Am I bound?
Drowned?
Tick Tick.....Tick Tick....Tick...Tic...Ti.
