No signs of life ( scribble naughts and * theories)

I cruised the city streets today

every look, every gesture

interrogated for signs of you

every corner wrote a perscription

for a new hope 

only to dissipate in realisation 

by the absence of you. 

A lead, a clue,

your old jacket,

a pair of shoes,

none lead to your 

missing face

I cruised the cityscape 

double checked the shadows 

to find nothing of you.

No sign.

And I wanted so badly,

to Come back to life.

My darling wabbits it means

My darling wabbits it means to be continued perhaps, sometimes life is sad, love is tragic... This is how poetry was born, then it grew up into a proud happy place and became what it is today an ego driven carthardicism ;) thanks sweety, everything happens for a reason xx hugss
