Home Free!

He measures it all in miles,
the commutes,
the revolts,
the rebukes;
the mad rush
for affinity,
for love,
for creating music
for his muse,
for her amused lips.

A pilgrim now,
he finds his home tiny,
miles become mere metres,
but their smiles are
beyond ’em metres,
or ’em rules, grammar;
for their joy n spree are free, 
like the waves
on a lake infinite
,

a song in free verse!

The Inmate!

There isn’t much
left to munch now.
She cleaned up the
last morsels
of his boyhood,
onto a fresh tissue,
laced it with her breath,
sprayed it with gasoline,
and burnt it in hell.

He has a job now,
they call him a man,
he drives a car;
I call him an inmate.
