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..
