Soliloquy
Another sleepless night
Of pointless pondering
Wondering what could have been
What could I have done differently
To savour this moment
The sweet aftertaste
Of bitter memories
That have long since been
Crushed and molded into shape
In the dark recesses of I
And in the end
Savouring is for those among us
With refined taste
And knowledge over matters
Of life and death and bliss, why not?
But I am just a humble pawn
In the universal chessboard
Having only taken a glimpse
Of the rulebook, alas for me
For I can no longer find comfort
In wine and song and merriment
But in the thought that this life
In all it's violence, in it's lack of splendour
Is the antiquity of man
And that the future lies ahead
The future lies ahead
Of pointless pondering
Wondering what could have been
What could I have done differently
To savour this moment
The sweet aftertaste
Of bitter memories
That have long since been
Crushed and molded into shape
In the dark recesses of I
And in the end
Savouring is for those among us
With refined taste
And knowledge over matters
Of life and death and bliss, why not?
But I am just a humble pawn
In the universal chessboard
Having only taken a glimpse
Of the rulebook, alas for me
For I can no longer find comfort
In wine and song and merriment
But in the thought that this life
In all it's violence, in it's lack of splendour
Is the antiquity of man
And that the future lies ahead
The future lies ahead
