Life’s Rock ‘N’ Roll?!

Let’s shake it
Let’s fake it

But

It shall’ve to be
Real!

A bundle of joy
Absolute dependence
But, nothing ‘she’ takes for ‘free’

A smile here
A grimace there
A shrill cry here
A run, on all four, there!

A growing dream
As life takes
To wings!

Every sound that emanates
Every drop of tear
The giggle
The laughter
I have ‘canned’ all
In my memory disc

Alone I rewind
Alone I hit the
Play list!

Images unfurl,
Words, mumbled
Sounds, Jumbled
Letters fly to the roof
And
I
Follow
To
Trap
Those
Winged
Butterflies
To
Store
Those
Forever!

My disc is full now!
Additional ‘memory card’
Is required!

But?

Access is denied...
I look back
In absolute dismay...

May
Be
The
Faults
Have
Been
Mine!

But, I don’t care,
With solemn disregard
For the faultline
I give the cloud
An agonised look

And
Letters, images, sounds rain
And I soak
My soul in it
And embrace my
Boredom with creative vives!

Wave comes after wave
Life comes and breaks
In the bank of time.

River rolls on carrying
Hyacinth, impurities, smudge
And sins with it...

I wait to meet
The ocean...
As you ‘rock’ the
‘Joint’ to glory,
Unseen, unheard
But
I
Shake
My
Legs
In
Unknown
Anticipation

Come on baby
It’s time for

ROCK ‘n’ ‘ROLL’!
