INVISIBLE DISTANCE

Wake up early in the morning
watch the beautiful sunrise
touched by the fresh windy air
to my soul's delight

English breakfast on the table
with fragrant earl-grey
with every relaxed thought
surely a promising day

Face my desktop
write reports non-stop
“busy?” Surely it does seem
worth leads to self-esteem

Lunch to dinner
the hours are few
sunset arrives
with a tantalizing hue

Watch the evening news
connected I am
follwed by action-drama
entertain me all I can

Throwing off my remaining clothes
as I fall in my bed
recollection of a perfect day
dawns upon my head

Everything so fine
so peacefully divine
though of any second person
there is no sign

Realized I did
the joy I miss
of sharing my life
whether happiness or strife

And just when I saw
the wide empty shell
of longing desire
of love -should I spell?

Loneliness is a dagger
which I did not see
till it goes right through
and then I knew it was true

Now I remember
the sunrise and sunset
now I remember
earl-grey - the promising day

And in every thought and
emotions remote
I find myself caught
in shackles of no-hope

And the pain grows stronger
as life seems to cease
will my tomorrow
pass with today-like ease

Focus I on the hollow of box
focus I on the dark
focus I on the sea-bed of rocks
deep where I seem to drown

Sounds does it pessimistic?
I will suggest deep
did I say too much thus far
or did I too much keep

Fishing life is full of shit
no true friends here exist
hatred if not betrayals
I know heart's shape is but a fist

Truth hurts always it does
and lies we learn to live
we're made to dream of perfection
isn't that a happy take and give?

I stand now on the balcony
sleep is far away
deep in my own melancholy
silence of sorrow stays

No hope no hope no hope
is all I hear inside
every positive thought that births
is killed at its first sight

Calm down- must I tell myself
this life I have to live
no reason why can't answer
afraid of cowardice

With every fresh-windy-air-morning thought
three of the sorrow combine
it’s like a lot of happy soldiers dying
battlefield the brain is mine!

Took a while but I began to see
the twilight in the sky
beautiful did the moon appear
as I looked up with my eyes

The rabbit shape some used to say
no trying hard to spot
and as I turned my other way
my attention Ursa caught

The trees so blue so dark
the shadows on the street
the beauty in the silence now
among depths I found new peak

A new peek at the world
a world my window showed
a world that sleeps in darkness
why everything so low

Cycle I see in my life
and cycle in the nature
cycle this world goes through too
even kings of highest stature

I am a citizen of this world
with many desires to gain
other people's love and care
but nothings free from pain

If definition of pain it is
the opposite of joy
then will there any joy be felt
with no inverse to compare by

Sad then should I be
why not, just another emotion it is
as long as in the visible distance
the dawn-lights my eyes see
