A Time To Love












 

 



Narrow lanes.
Brick-lined curbs.
Scattered rows of human hearth.
And then the never ending road
Stubborn not to end.


Loopy smoke
Jaded clouds

Smiling men in rainbow shrouds

 Walking down the treaded path
Stopping by the bend.


Eager eyes.
In teary mess.
Drinking down the loneliness
Peppered with the bitter snack
Of  love not making way.


Hatred frowns.
Freeze in time.
Lavenders with lilies rhyme
Joyous dance the young at heart.
To lose the squandered day.

    This one has a lyrical quality to it. Takes me to the old classic (Turn, turn turn..) used for the theme of “Picket Fences” ….By the Platters if memory serves me rt… The black and white pic of the solitary soul on the beach adds flavour with the slivery streak of dawn (i hope) just behind him. Lovely~~!
