20anddead

a singalong, a mantra
a taste, with added extra
of this life, of now
but better and how
whether moon or sun
can be sad or fun
open top or cycle
michele or michael
water or wine
raining or shine
scientific, maybe soul
reality or perhaps role

a singalong, a mantra
pavaroti sings sinatra
here, there, everywhere
take it easy, what’s to care
just this
with nothing amiss
curved downwards or on the rise
make a face, look at the skies
where did it go
everything, you know
could be 20 and dead
how about here instead

shadows

shadows can be illuminating
as illumination might be wearing
for the wealth in contemplation
whilst photon depleted
can be colourful
if not overwhelmingly
lucid

shadows can be unambiguous
as ambiguity might be stifling
for the clarity in definition
whilst in darkness
can be untainted
if not of idyllic
purity

shadows can be heavenly
as perdition can be singularly confining
for the vision of naught
whilst in ecstasy
can be cosmological
if not synonymous with
freedom
