Poetry - Caravan to Nowhere


Come - come my brother
Come - come my brother
you play the crazy beat
I get into a trance
in the middle of desert heat
there is a pond
oh so serene
I peep into it
and it has all the treasure
you can spend the life
ravishing these in leisure
I bend further
to kiss the mermaid

Do you want to live?
Or waste yourself in escapade?
came the voice
from the camel rider
of the caravan
headed somewhere
Where you go? I asked
Does it matter?
Not really?
Will you come if I tell?
Not really?
then come - come my friend
come - come my friend
for we go just nowhere
we just go everywhere
for you won’t be happy anywhere
come - come my friend
come - come my friend
came the sane beat
my heart pulsating
my feet itching
I lift my hand
for him to hold
and like I told
I became the caravan
it goes nowhere
I reach with it
everywhere

And for you my friend
who sits ashore
looking at the dust storm
wondering where it came from
here is what i say
come - come my baby
come - come my baby
where you go? you ask,
Does it matter?
Not really? you say
Will you come if I tell?
Not really? you say
then come - come my friend
come - come my friend
for we go just nowhere
we just go everywhere

for you won’t be happy anywhere
