Receding

Endless shades of grey,
Timeless, drift in a reverie
Spanning the horizon.
Reflections. A nebulous mind
Rapt in an unfathomable haze.
Overwhelmed by conversancy
With unacquainted overtures,
Strays through nothingness.
Under the ageless canopy,
Time trawls on to eternity.
And endless shades of grey,
Timeless,
Hover around a perceived lunacy.

Hey You

[Note:- This one is, obviously, inspired by Pink Floyd's legendary song. I was sitting in the balcony of Grafton Oaks, watching the sun go down, sipping from my mug and reading Jack Keruac's classic On the Roads, pondering over my muse, when this came to me. I was not too sure about it, but I felt the thought could be worth something. Anyway, this one is for S.A., whose many idiosyncrasies have so enamored me, and whose words, the rare few that were sent my way, inspired more poesy in me than most things I have encountered in my life. Here's to you, S****! ]

Prologue: "You know how I said I never cry? Well, this was the last straw."

Hey You!
Out there in your home
Sitting lonely
Humming songs
Do you remember me?
Hey You!
Walking by the street
Where we had to meet
Do you ever miss me?
Hey You!
Do you happen to think of old times?
Would you care?
I am leaving home…
