my daily exercise routine
riding the wave of life
jumping to conclusions
running out of ideas
threading on water
walking on thin air
running out of time
picking myself up
rowing my boat
these simple exercises
ensure I am as fit
as now

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘Crafty’
a vest i crochet
in dark blue
stitch by stitch
unravel two
easy pattern
hard to learn
hook away
my fingers burn
design without
second thought
omitted details
cause distraught
push the hook
into split thread
crochet is relaxing

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘New Light’
stream of memories
dusk transformed into dreams
with no makeup
the sun rose uncombed
aroma of fresh coffee
broke through the air
enlivening all the senses
helping the limbs move
daily miracle of life
the day brightened up
neither being asked
nor begged
letting go of darkness
the light gently shines
new opportunities
new chances
MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘The Knight’
morning alleyway
silent feet shuffle
river of grey suits
lights faintly glow
distant smell of coffee
bakery opens the door
city full of ghosts
screen in hand
heading to a desk
morning routine
run on autopilot
eyes half shut
fresh coffee sip
time to regain
consciousness
awareness still
in deep sleep
shrouded in a veil
vision of a bleak future
not enough to sustain
whims of the offsprings
on a hamster wheel
going nowhere far
waiting aimlessly
for the one day
the shiny knight arrives
to slay the dragon…
to win this game
to break out
of the cage
wake up
from the daily
societal dream
crack the code
realize-be
awareness…
the knight
