Shadows and thieves













Innuendo I - a fragment, the past helped build,
Coming of age and the boyish charm I was of frisked,
Beats that I now listen to and the songs I left behind...
Is it good, touch of a life that feels like it has been?
A bag slinged, a smile on and the shoes like they have run,
The roads I see, still remains. Day after day and I look away.
Breaking in and shaping up, someday, I will grow a smirk,
Your chalice would touch my cup. Drinks will spill and I would be a puff.

Tiptoes in the dark, the bitter fragments of the past,
A thief sneaks in. His marauding gaze seeks the golden gleam.
There is music in his pockets and dance in his footsteps.
He is shrouded in smoke, jiggered like I was on pills.
Black as in stark, confident with each hours of the dark...
On the bed, with a horse shoe smile, I lie in comatose & he sees:
In the years that I have seen, I have been a smile, a tale unseen…
Will you do nothing if I was a current and the river took me away?
If the reach was high, would you pull me in or should I lean?

The clinks of gold & that priceless smile,..
What was once the world for me, lies in the attic.
Beneath the dust and for the things that escaped the rust,
Tonight, I am visited by the happy mid-nighter!!
