1. Hold your breath.

Wait, wait.

I am holding a question

somewhere between my brain

and my nostrils.

If I breathe

I lose it

without an answer.

Wait, wait

I have to hold my breath.

2 . The Final Hours

The leap year, 2024,

has 56 days and 1,344 hours more to exit.

November is sailing by,

and December is soon to follow.

In the crisscross of time,

thoughts flip from shore to shore.

Yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

Besides the calculations

there is much left in 2024

before 2025 takes the show.

3. Lost Love

Love came on tiptoes.

Unrequited, Love banged the door.

I woke up.

Love lost is like a sunrise

never to come again.

4. Life

Life’s hourglass sits still

smiles and tears

entwined

with

life elixir

of incomplete stories.
