The Night

A star twinkles,the one to it's extreme left winks.
The moon laughs and the old man smiles.
The sky is a deep shade of blue.
Somewhere near a dog barks and the street lights blink in confusion.
The mother scolds but the boy refuses to go to bed.
It is a little after nine.A girl is talking to her boyfriend over the phone.
Suddenly it starts raining heavily.
The auto is speeding away into the night.
A little girl kisses her father goodnight. 

Time

Time to catch your breath.
Time to dream or to set a new goal.
To watch a movie or to read a nice book.
To joke,chat,laugh or sulk.
To regret,to apologize or to shop.
To relax,to stare and wonder what shade of blue is the sky.
To cry and complain about life and to do things that make you happy.
Listen and share.Love and fight.
There are so many things to do and there is no time.
I want more time.

Photographs

Pose.Smile.Click.
Sometimes unaware.Working,talking,lost.
Thinking of a distant place,far away from the crowd.
Captured in a moment.Trapped forever between the torn pages of a rusty old album.
Time passes by.A second.A day.A year.
There it stays,static and not changing.
The memory with the photograph.

First Time

Do you remember?
The first time you had dinner alone.
The first time you oiled your hair.
The first time you burped in a public place.
The first time you stood up for something you really believed in.
The first time you kissed.
The first time you flunked.
The first time you tried cooking.
The first time you made a stranger happy.
Do you?I hope you do.

Conversations

Two naked trees are whispering.
The wind is sighing.A breath of relief?
The lamp posts are having silent conversations.
A group of birds are rounded up in a circle.A family discussion perhaps?   
Everywhere i go,people are talking.About things,you know serious things,stupid things,smart things,unnecessary things.They always have something to say.
I am surrounded by people all the time.I am alone and they are too.
