O The abandoned cat!
Here in this empty path
who is more melancholic than you?
sitting perplexed on the bin
wondering and gazing at the grass
heading out to test life
from a broken wall..
life's a dishonest lover
first embracing,
colouring it in a green dress
but when it fades into yellow
turning her face from it
the biological clock and
the world's clock are different
but both give a precise time
when you wake at 2.00am
you know something is wrong
when the world's clock
sinks the sun
into a cold grey evening
listen carefully
to the departure bell that rings.

Dear poet valsa; Hello...Your excellent and distinctive reading brings the soul back to this abandoned poetry. I wish you a good health, happiness and success
Seeing the lush green colour, one might long to jump down into the greens like the cat. But by the time we land there, we come to realize that the green colour has changed and faded into withering yellow. When we stand confused, life turns her back like a dishonest lover! What a wealth of meaning! Profound! Top marks!
life's a dishonest lover first embracing, colouring it in a green dress but when it fades into yellow turning her face from it.................. Indeed life is a dishonest lover, never stable but fickle and unpredictable!
The poem and the image that goes with it, both are beautiful and convey some deep and profound philosophy of life. Yes, time is precise and there is nothing so accurate as time though biological time and clock time, (we shall rather call it temporal time) are different.
