Poems

Right now right-now’s the destination, not the path
So, while this present lasts...

For the monotony, the routine, the static
The ruts, the no-way-out, the panic

For hazy highs, for LSD, for Ecstasy
For herbal tea, epiphanies and clarity

For the pleasure, lust, the morning after
The love, the trust... the forever after

For every angel met in the dark
Every missed boat
For every imprint on my heart
Every lump in my throat

For the daily stress
Every summer girl in a summer dress
For this entire mess
And for every breath

For family, bonds, bridges that stand when...
For the tests that won’t break them

For balls-out, pair-pressure… disaster
For act now think later and pained laughter

For then, for this, for every when, and…
For now, mummy nature
All I want is this favour
Lend me more moons to postpone the when
And a family of familiar minds to breath with ‘til the end

‘Til then...

I’ll continue living with passion and fear
Cos I know I’ll never again be here
And when the sun sets
My eyes will sweat for each regret
But when the sun goes down
I’ll high5 the ground... and say thank you
