______________

beclouded line of the far horizon
dark overcast dimmed the day
tried to catch the remaining light
and keep it in his memory

hard up as he was born
just a decent life, didn’t wish for more
unexpectedly the spirit would be torn
tears have fallen scattered on the floor

pathways have crossed the jungles deep
didn’t mind if he was dreaming while asleep
twilight took him to the deep of night
dawn had him leading an herd of sheep

sometime, he felt dumb that he would say
his life was a waste of time to play
in the sky, dark clouds dominate
rained his life with so much weight

he tried hard to be aware
fixing all those past mistakes
learned that behind those dark clouds
HOPE is the silver lining he had found…

reddened slowly into night

twilight years of man

Interlude

this season’s interlude
of freezing morning spell
awaiting the emerging sun
to paint the sky with colors

the dawn deserves a twilight
chasing a familiar night
waiting to spend a sunny morning
where cold hearts will be warmed

feathered clouds in colored haze
teased the moment with uncertainty
an hour of a pleasant sky hides
sad tears of a bereaved comedy …









Challenge the twilight…

a walk through this rough and hostile shore
hurting my feet with dead sea shells
bruise , cuts and bloody wounds
like a victim of torture and abuse
walking and stepping on my shadow
the heat of the sun is searing me
with fiery rays crowning my head
darkening my skin by infrared
this isn’t a hot summer yet
king sun is releasing its burning heat
this season is still on drizzles of rains
but why the hot spells of rhythmic cadence
sometime it happens in the life of man
halfway through a quiet and blissful ambience
a Gordian knot needing to be untied
to be on track again to challenge the twilight…
