The Scribbles of a Lonely Traveller

[tonywalt]

Only a few days ago
it suddenly turned cool,
and how silly of me to think~~
it'd become warm again
sooner than later.
Now that it's getting colder,
it, at last, dawns on me~~
it's senseless
to miss the warm sunshine
just as it's fruitless
to long for the rainbow
after mid autumn
or to crave for her sunny smile
when she's gone and
the winter's around the corner.

Very thought provoking and brilliant. The weather sure can be, uuum, troublesome.....

How true indeed.
Well done.

It's Been Ages

It's been ages since I
bathed myself in the soothing nature;
It's been ages since I
penned words praising the beautiful pasture;
It's been ages since I
slipped and ended up in the glacier.

Just as I've forgotten all the dreams
I ever dreamed last night,
so I've forgotten all the promises
I ever made to you when young.
Since all the spring birds have long gone,
what's the use of reminiscing all the roses
that ever lingered on your face.

A warm welcome from me too. It´s nice to see you around again.
That is sad and beautiful:
"Since all the spring birds have long gone,
what's the use of reminiscing all the roses
that ever lingered on your face."

Hey you, missed ya!

Keep on writing, buddy!

Thanks, kiz, for your encouragement.

Thanks, Tailor, for your reply and praying. It's life that we more often than not slip here and there.
I pray that you and your loved ones are all well and enjoy life.

[angliholic]

And thank you, Danik, for your warm welcome and hopefully i'm still able to write something beautiful.
Best regards to you

While I'm relaxing
in the shade of a banyan tree,
early summer breeze is blowing
through my hair and caressing my face.
In no time,
I start to feel I'm living in Paradise,
when out of the blue comes a voice
into my head telling me~
somewhere in this subtropical island
there're rivers clogged with dense masses
of plastic bags and bottles.
While I'm craving to watch a butterfly,
fluttering here and there in the meadow,
like a vibrant pretty lass,
please be kind enough as not to remind me~
the girl, whose innocent smile
I once yearned madly for,
is fading and getting senile
like a yellow flower of yesterday.

[Danik 2016]

That´s beautiful too with its confrontation of yesterday/today; world of dreams and reality.
