I felt death approaching…

I felt death approaching

Inconspicuously, nearly

*

Suddenly, unexpectedly

Stripping us of all dignity

*

Lurking in the doorway

Lunatising in our dreams

*

Elucidating work uniforms

Emanating from memories

*

Penetrating our skulls

Perturbing our feelings

*

Trying to invade our spaces

Time stood still in this moment

.

I wondered why you couldn’t apprehend

I realised you couldn’t separate your thoughts

*

Neither now nor then

Null, neglect, negation

*

The reality I would never have foreseen

That’s why I distanced myself

*

Here and there

Humiliated by you for all the choices I’ve made

*

Ever wondered why

Each of us

*

Lies in separate beds

Lingering at the small chance?

*

Ominous, oblivious to outrage

Ovulating, yet not conceiving

*

Never wondered why?

Never spoke

*

Growling sound at night

Gruesome telephone conversation

*

Ever realised

Each of your mischievous signs?

*

Should I remind you of this?

Should you care?

*

Time had shown

Tragic case unsolved

*

Descended on us

Decimating diluted dilapidation

*

Rest is silence

Rest in silence

*

Emancipation, emanation, emulation

Evergreen enunciation

*

Allowing ourselves

Ayurveda and ashwagandha roots

*

Magical mindful moments

Minimising the impact of stress

*

My mum and I

Masterful survivors

*

Yet, in a way

Yarn thrown to kelpie

*

Fake heroes’ legends

False predicaments

*

Are you dead or alive?

Am I never tending to find out?

*

Those years spent on tedious tasks

There are some unfinished businesses around

*

Home

Have you looked in a drawer lately?

*

Eradication of the ego

Elimination of psychology

*

Reminiscences of your reading

Really needed?

*

Why did you never follow

Wiser wideness?

*

Are you disabled, are you sick?

As you’ve never treated yourself that way

*

Surely survived

Smothering insufficiently the surface of life

*

And you will never find out

Allowing yourself disappear

*

Lingering on the last hope

Lying in front of you

*

Intimidated by the choices

Irked by every change, acrimonious in nature

*

Viable visualisation of virtue

Very persuasive until now

*

Every shape you made

Ever wondered where this will end?
