Narrow lanes.

Brick-lined curbs.

Scattered rows of human hearth.

And then the never ending road

Stubborn not to end.


Loopy smoke

Jaded clouds

Smiling men in rainbow shrouds

Walking down the treaded path

Stopping by the bend.


Eager eyes.

In teary mess.

Drinking down the loneliness

Peppered with the bitter snack

Of love not making way.


Hatred frowns.

Freeze in time.

Lavenders with lilies rhyme

Joyous dance the young at heart.

Lose the squandered day.

beautiful poem...
especially the last stanza... :-) The phrases used epithets so delicately that each one seems irreplceable. good job!
