The Reason

In the times of my confession

And the smoke of cigarettes

When the coffee is an outer body experience

And I am riding a bike of no regrets

Each moment of mine will sing out loud

The melody, lyrics & quotes

Wasn’t life a backdrop?

A backdrop for memories & thoughts

The vessel to feel and make a difference

To solidify the values; to create happiness & hope

To love, hate and consummate,

To smile, to whisper, to serenade,

To surrender: surrender to its wonders,

Without a god and a religion,

To go on trails of meditation and all-night benders

To fly higher than my friends on cocaine

To be more potent than the heroin in their veins?

I never needed a drink or drug: I was enough

Always free of chains that people are bound to

The supernova, journey bound, bullet proof

Each breath of mine is the backdrop for my being

And my hand is always out to hold on to yours

Through thick & thin, the highs and lows, through whatever may come and whatever may fall,

To touch every life it can touch and leave your lips with a smile

The wine glass, the playing cards, the oak tree

To make you laugh right now. Wanna try me?

What was that preterm chinese kid’s name again?

Oh, yeah! Sudden-Lee!
