Urbanique

 

Dull yellow buildings, musty air

Smell of sweat, stenching dreams

Sleepless nights, ochre mornings

Windows collapsing on each other

Like bodies in a metro

Shirts sticking, eyes aching

What are they searching for ?

I can’t fathom whether they are happy or sad

Or just surviving

Long rides on hurrying roads

Smell of smoke brings you home

I count the hours you will sleep

Not more than 4 or 3

What are you searching for ?

Are you happy or are you sad

I see the blinking lights, in a blackless sky

Blinding the stars, the noise of cars

I like the smell of smoke now

Mixed with the cold

It clings to childhood eyes and happy time

I leave my glasses to be covered in layers of dust

(no more rose tinted glasses for me)

I will think of you today when I fall asleep

Under the cloudy heaviness and hopes as fresh as april

Heart as ripe as the mangoes in may

I wish I could think of you everyday

But it is not hard to forget

So I selfishly dream of lakes, poets and lyrical loves

While the clock pulls your strings relentlessly for hours

  1. I’m also writing to make you know of the really good encounter my daughter found using your web page. She noticed some issues, which include how it is like to have a great giving character to have the mediocre ones quite simply fully understand some problematic subject matter. You undoubtedly did more than people’s desires. Thanks for churning out those great, safe, educational not to mention easy tips about that topic to Mary.
