somewhere out there..

somewhere out there
among the shacks and relics of a broken existence
he stares outside the window
upon a world free..up he looks
swaying on sky high swings
he jumps and flies
his arms spread wide

he sits back on his arm chair and sighs
the guitar strings broken
a drumset torn and dusty
lying among the ruins of a long forgotten existence
amidst the waste furnished by his past


the memory of his first love flashed across his mind
in her skin tight jeans
and a loose sweater
sittin with him, swayin to dope infested reggae beats

The others languidly spread over the grass
flouting reality
reigning
reigning

they reigned
they, her ,him

they laughed
and they sang
beat their thoughts into their songs
engraved their lives into their songs

ram,vish, kay,our jay

now its him ,just him
they all went
disappeared
like ephemeral memories
leaving behind a bitter aftertaste
of their existence gone too soon

a hammock
a new guitar
his grey hair
his floral shirt

a new beginning
this time over
the stars listen

hahahaha Manjari
Quite the poet aren't you? nice stuff.

Might i just add you've spelt 'reigning'and 'reggae' wrong. You should really be careful about these things.
You should also consider using the capslock key where it's required.It's quite simple.

Tallyho for now, you young poetic toothsome twit:D
