The wind warm on my cheek
The minutes go by, they tick.
A bird cooing by the gate,
Wiping all feelings of hate.

I think of the hour ahead…

The constant hooting of cars,
On my nerves it jars,
And I exclaim-“Wow!
This could well be a row.

A sequestered hour…

An eagle hovers
Night towers
Dignified in its arrival,
A spark of thought, a perusal

I think of the hour ahead…

The tawn-lit sky,
An artist’s palette high
Jutting edges of the pines
Forming a sphere of shrines

I think of the hour ahead…

Cold hands, hugging myself
Like a book-deserted shelf.
Yearning to fit
The world agog with attitude
Moves on, Time’s feet
Getting heavier in solitude.

Great man just great, felt like I was there. Plus it's got an old school 18th century poet vibe. So what's the meaning of this piece?

Another excellent one my friend! Please stay on these forums...haha Overall, nice imagery, great word choice. I think it portrays the feeling of being new in something which is not familiar. And the stanzas are the first experiences of that place/he/she has moved to.

Thanks Quickill. I'm very much in this century ,i can assure you. When u read this poem just envision loneliness & how the world gets by even when you're not actively a part of it.

Eccer, it speaks more of inactivity borne out of loneliness. Need i speak of the engulfing loneliness @ the time of its writing? No, the lines are proof enough.

You need not Yeah I got the feeling for it now, thanks for letting me know!

Your vocabulary is astonishing!"the World agog","the tawn- lite sky"(although my spellcheck has it underlined,like it's misspelled)and the "hooting"of cars.I've always reserved "hooting"to Owls(Shout out to Amaryn)and "honking"to cars.To each their own,and you,my friend,have a style all your own.

Thanks for the comments. Of course "tawn-lit" being underlined is understandable (it's a fitted word suggesting the sky being awash with a tawny glow). "Hooting" was preferred to "honking'' to show the extra unpleasantness of the sounds @ such time of loneliness when silence would have been appreciated. (& from the headlights angle, resemblance between cars & owls isn't too far-fetched)

Now should i say 'thanks' for the dedication?

Bob Marley is the most popular singer in the world,bar none.I was watching a documentary about a "lost"tribe,somewhere in Central America.They hunt their food,wear very little.But,there was one guy who had a Bob Marley T-shirt.His prized possession.

Ah ah, if i had a Bob Marley T-shirt, it'll definitely be a prized possession.
Hmm, despite the fact that i like him, the "most popular singer" tag is debatable.
What do you say to starting a thread for it in 'Music'?

When I say "most popular in the world"let me explain.His merchandise sells more than any other with Jimi Hendrix coming in second.I've had this conversation many times with someone who I trust.I'm not saying I'm right,I wouldn't stake my life on it,it's just what I've heard.Me start a Thread?Doubtful.I'd possibly participate,especially if you're involved.Roar!

Indeed brilliant, Curiosity. A rich choice of words, original and wellshaped.

You struck me again with a phrase really outstanding:
"cold hands, hugging myself
like a book-deserted shelf"

A big thanks !
