Glassy waters are my tears!

Doleful music of autumn

Lovely yet Sad--

How it stings my heart

like the refrain of

a familiar song

treasured in spring --

for an instant

my eyes are stuck

as wrath, and lament

chokes my utterance

prickled in veins

by tingling desires--

------

I remember --

our brief togetherness

undead feelings shared;

a nameless journey, amongst love usually-

a void, an odor, dark and languid,

the scent of a passionate body.

Most of all, I remember your lies

theatrical, enacted on a tiny stage

for a tidily audience; you & I.

-------

I’d constrain myself

till the monsoon sinks

below glassy waters—

below the glassy water.. i see you!

moving into oblivion.....

My heart dying with your each step.

I keep looking at your shadow..

till the tawny fringe of

apathetic moon

rises indolently

on horizon’s edge..
