Living now for the twenty first time
Another year left behin'
Family and friends, enemies, allies
Trophies of achievements, countless follies
Smiles sorrows, laughter 'n' grace
I look at them with a straight face...
Devoid of emotions, Empty of light
No soul to befriend, no foe to fight
No touch of love, no warmth of fire
Twist and toil, drag and tire
Yet i live in a rats race
Never running, always walking.. sensation less..
With a straight face
Bits of life, fly away
The wind that comes with fierce sway
I blink my eyes, I fold my hands
I walk away.. to my own errands
Life frowns, I return its gaze
She's surprised, I have a straight face!
I walk on thorns, eternal twilight, dead grass
as I walk past - the mirror cracks - shattering glass
it falls at my feet, my true face revealed
dead grey skin, you might as well have squealed....
but my lifeless image blinks... I stay unfazed
'Cause life has now left me forever..... straight faced :-|

My dear patchez!!!
~~~~ A year later u'll say~~~~
Approaching is a special day,
Twenty second time I can say,
I look at the year jus crossed,
sufferd & enjoyed, happy & sad,
Then at this small poem i see,
Of the times my brain was free,
A ' :) ' balances a ' :( '
To keep a straight face :|
*bows*
thanks for the poem... :)
i knw things will be that way only.. :|
hey
u visit...i visit...visit visit :o)
nice poem...but quite sad
n doesnt it help to smile rather than keep a straight face :D
adios
ah well, up to you.. very much up to u... :)
mind you Patchez, tis the beginning of old age when you pass through the most important matters of your life with a straight face... doesn't matter you're 20 or 25 or 75, when it happens.
You've only one life, so be elated, be sad, love, live, smile, or cry... but don't be so 'straight face'.
Hey, Sid! :)
Great to see ya bak here.. ;)
@the straight face
Its a phase... will be gone soon
Without a doubt the best you have ever written... Like I have said countless times... best written pieces are those where you can extract every ounce of misery.....
There it was, every ounce and more.... AWESOME!!
