If one could live forever
Might this hold being free,
Or confuse so the measure
Of a wishful thinking spree,
Else be of bent mind clever
The while deny bid’s plea,
To objurgate a moot debate
On life spans short decree,
By the gods of fixing fate
Who exact this mortal fee,
On mankind destined state
Beckons thus eternal sleep,
Tho beg delay expiry date
We’ve to exit existence’s keep,
Lest this life should be forever!
I see man shape
His self-decline,
Tis no surprise
Wants to escape,
This baleful bind
Free of bent state
Of herculean find,
His legacy spent
Now so apprised,
Suffers implied
Thus to surmise
Intervention failed
We’ll not survive,
His egoistic whims
Shaping our extant state!
Without I stray
From held entomb,
Said salutary stay,
I can but seek
Echoes of roam,
Thus to attempt
A nomad bent,
Steers me astray
In pro tem way,
Till time runs out
Of freed to roam!
Every season
In nature’s bent,
Finds purpose
For renewal,
That celebrates
Each wont advent
Not as infinity’s rival
But a cycle of revival…
Yet we creatures
Suffer brevity
Of a single stay,
A hoped-for reach
Though time decreed
Life be held brief,
And so ephemeral
Deemed beg amend
Wouldst be in vain,
To imitate seasons
That never fully fade,
Thus likely reason
Life then returns again!
Mirror, mirror
On the wall
Hard to show
My face at all,
You make it seem
Like it was mauled …
Mirror, nearer
Your torment,
Can have me cry
And looking bent,
Instead of shy
Of seeming spry
As I had meant…
Mirror, closer
You discuss,
A weathered face
Made hopeless case,
As craggy crust,
Shows in its place…
Mirror, mirror
You violator
Of melancholy state,
Alas to so deface
What shan’t be salved
Thru your efface,
Or torturous onguent
Inflicts a malfeasant!
