Just like yesterday
Today ends with fatigue.
For hustle has consumed
The last remnants of rest
And what it once meant
To pause and reflect!

Goodbye

A psychedelic style image reflecting a kiss, made by Bing Image Generator

We kissed one last time
For words coated our lips
We didn’t know how
To speak them aloud
So, we embraced silence
In moments of goodbye.

Just rest

The wind sways
Languid branches
With a gentle lullaby
And dreams pause a bit
On verdant beds
So that they can put
Chaos to rest
And let not nightmares
Be conjured from within
The darkening forests
Of doubt and despair

Whispers

A psychedelic image of a person surrounded by whispers, storms, feelings, arteries, sinews, and promises of love, generated by Bing Image Generator

The whispers sweep in
Tender and mild
Awakening storms;
Feelings trying to
Breakthrough
This entanglement:
Entwined in arteries
And pulsating sinews;
As her voice summons
Promises of love,
As truant as the wind
On whose airy wings
They flit towards me

The lost art of wooing

I know it’s strange,
How glances across streets
And chance meetings
In crowded hallways,
A picnic in the groves
Or a hike in the hills
Is not how we find love
These wistful days.
We let algorithms match us
In a digital space,
And all that matters
Are the resulting scores
In the closest perimeter.
