Vagabond of Sorts: An Ode

 Your favourite was Van Damme,

You danced and never gave a damn,

You smiled at every chance

You were like a boy but more than a man.

I remember how we sat by the roof,

Fools singing to a tune with no clue

How our lives would be in years too few

Your memory is my solitude

We shared each others lives in truth

Stayed up at nights and through

Cassettes of solos and drew

Our inspiration from the silly things of new

We took our journeys in crowded streets

Climbed our stairs in busy fleets

Walked miles to get a few treats

Entered darkness to disco beats.

The last I remember is your smile

I hear your voice that laughs every while

Your simple desire to be amongst all

Accepted and loved, you never saw

You never spoke evil or any wrong

But always took everything with a comic straw

Rest in peace my dear brother

You are the one who was there before any other

In my heart you be forever.

Suddenly

Suddenly

Suddenly I am found
Suddenly I am lost
I am big, I am small
I am open,
Now I am closed
I lost my voice
I lost my thoughts
I am with all
Suddenly I am a wall

I measured my cup
Drank it to full
Though last was but
A few too many true
Suddenly I see
The past is never free

I took light steps
Weighed my options well
Found my ekagai preps
Tossed the doubts like a spell
Suddenly I feel
May be it was just a deal

I went ahead,
Turned my myself in
Let my body loose
Held my feet in tight shoes
Walked the line with a noose
Just to be like you
Suddenly I feel bruised

Suddenly, I realised
Some may talk with you
Others may walk with you
Still one may be with you
But suddenly,
All will desert you

I must be I must be channeling
I must find a way
I must just stay
In the path I pray
Suddenly I will say.
