Oxford Street, LondonA Poem by itaiOnce you slip away and lose your grip on life You will lose Her and all the possibilities That lay at her feet, All the dreams will become lost to you And you will gnash your teeth in the agony of Regret. Yet you ran away, pushed Her away Forgot her name and lived in misery Then the City of Life closed its walls on you And squashed you like an ant! Turned its back! Small man in an incredible world Now your hold on life looks clumsy, Because life's hurricane is without mercy And the dead need to move on Annoyed yet atoned by your sorrow. Little man walking against angry winds And a knife-sharp breeze Don't you know the rules have changed Ever since you lost your soul To the turbulence of life? You grope on the little that is left of you. But perhaps you may rise someday To your own surprise You may watch another sunrise And once again learn to appreciate a true friend, Learn to close those eyes and create visions of Love And not the detachment you often peer into. Remember who you are.Just remember.. © 2014 itai |
