In a valley of desolated existence
oblivion embraces time
Through fragmented discord ,
barren intervals in stillness
only faith remains
Night , silently fades
yesterday’s , memory invades
Transience etched into monument
indelible intimate symbols ,
spoken – unspoken enmity
Emotional revenge
No longer do I imagine
what colours are mirrors of your soul ,
where all my awakenings
once blossomed
Sultry summers , shade enjoyed
Danced endlessly in inspiration
while earth swirled under my feet
I was the sole exhibition of your light
when autumn rain tears
waived to coldness – and I,
I did not fear like today
No longer do I ask
where did you go ,
what is hidden in your heart
At this point in life all I need is – to share
each living moment with you
The nights , before drifting to sleep
all I yearn for is –
to hold your hand in peace
And listen ,
To the pendulum of time
incessant beat
