A Perfect Life

Staying safe.

Keeping pace.

He has a knack

For thinking straight.

Grey checkered ties.

Grey gloomy eyes.

Beyond horizon line

He dares not stare.

Rope is taut.

Barrel's loaded. But

He needs no fame. Time

He does not waste.

A Blue ink spot.

On his white dress shirt.

He grins at it.

He keeps it there.

He does not care.

Begin

Some winds had never

Caressed these hairs so tight.

Some fires had never

Burned this rage so high.

Some hands had never

Seen such stillness so close.

Some skies had never 

Lightened up so bright.

I say 

So long to melancholy,

I wave you goodbye.

This world is not done

And neither am I.

Jack

You think of sea.

You think of rain.

I do too. Forever Jack

Wits so great.

I too find gold.

But just too late. Forever Jack

Workable luck.

Loveable self.

Bearable pain.

For kings alone. Forever Jack

Take these tears.

I never use.

All these trades.

Learnt but you. Forever Jack
