#1 Caressing Time

Delicate and gossamer in touch, made for no one
yet everyone, Time isn't fair for those who don't care,
Change the future with words and actions, but the Chances
of you getting what you want are slim to none

-----------------------------------

#2 Oars

A boat on the sea of a timepiece,
with the oars of uneven hands
spiraling for ever and ever round and round,
and knitting the time with uneven needles
in search of the perfection lost!!

-------------------------------------

#3 Timelessness - Made in China

She was peeling shrimps
on new year's eve, whilst
beer-bellied men licked
her fingerprints - counting, still,
till the re-fabrication of 2013.

--------------------------------------

#4 A Seasoned Multicolored Coat

Hers is a coat of many colors
vibrant as the days marking her life;
each season brought forth new shades so that
the spectrum grew along with her years,
lighting rainbows all along her past.

---------------------------------

#5 Infinity

Locked in a blur of vision less faces,
masking an economy of shooting stars,
falling victim to a thunderous hourglass
dripping infinity of a spaced out room
in my mind

-------------------------------------

#6 Parallel

My mind exists in parallel
trapped between an essence
of the past and awakening to
reality - and yet I beg myself
to slumber once more.

-----------------------------------

#7 Untitled

On Gleeson's hill, standing sentinel
overlooking the market town, an unraveling
and graffittied bedsheet fluttered
less healthily than it had
in my father's eyes.

------------------------

#8 Hands of A Clock:

Time is a funny thing, you can
grasp it in the palm of your hand
or let it fall to the floor, it can
build you up and tear you down,
though that's precisely why its a mystery.

-------------------------

#9 Gain and Loss

Our economy is like a curvy woman
with assets sought after by many,
the more the wrinkles are accumulated,
the greater is the depression.
