Music and some playful banter <br />On this road leading to an unseen destiny <br />In a rock and roll version a road to nowhere <br />In my view a certain destination with uncertain twists <br />In this game of run and chase <br />There are more milestones than ever <br />Clouds fly by like holy smoke of water <br />Birds stretching their wings covering the flamboyant sun <br />The burner and the igniter of hopes that cover this land <br />Wind kissing the faces hard <br />Trying to carry us away from us <br /> <br />The rear view trying to catch up in fast forward <br />A road ahead and another constantly moving backward <br />Many passers by unknown faces with known plights <br />They have seen it all from where they come? <br />I tried to count them all but they are hard to sum <br />Days go by they pour themselves into bags of years <br />I collected them all and want to lose them while I run <br />Looking for the recognized spots locked in the memory <br />Places I saw when I rode on this road always taken <br />A thousand pictures unconsciously painted <br />With the brushes dipped in burning desires <br /> <br />Today the destination is uncertain <br />Today I am not the one <br />Today the daisies on the side have changed their color <br />Today me seem far away from we <br />Breaking and building only to be broken again? <br />No more sighs, no more signs <br />This should be the last time <br />I approach the last sign board pointing “right” <br />This city has started to sleep in denial <br />A question knocks and hints an answer <br />Am I the only one or these streets have conspired? <br />Reality sinking in with a known high <br />This place that always looked mine <br />Today struggles to identify who am I? <br /> <br />-A “U”-turn sometimes have saved a life… <br /> <br />15/4/2011<br /><br />KUNAL SETH<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-long-road-2/
