Even you

Published on by Harpreet ChhachhiaLeave a comment

You leave and you return,
You leave and you return,
And all the days pass by soon,
But, in the dark, you all leave
And silence learns eerier tune.

Some say, lovers leave and should,
If anyone knows, you would;
But some say some do return;
That happens rare and, mostly,
In loneliness, alone, you shall burn.

You’ve seen the moon shine bright,
She can take the sole centre of night,
All rave on her beauty, some swoon;
But, on the darkest night, she leaves –
Even the moon leaves, even the moon.

So laugh, if you can, and fuck and eat
And, if you can, go ahead and repeat;
Everyone leaves and this is true;
And in the darkest hours of deceit,
Even you could leave, and yes, so will you.

Organ

I‘ve heard it can love, again and again,
And nothing can detract from its vigour,
No matter the crush of failure and pain,
Or of the stress of life or its rigour.

I have heard (now know) of its strength unmeasured,
As it makes heroes rise and empires fall;
It can single you out to be untreasured;
Yet ables you to stand against it all.

It teaches you just to feel and not learn,
It gives you your self, yet takes you away,
It makes you happy and it makes you yearn,
It stays with you when it leads you astray.

Even when word and thought are unspoken
It hums its song even when it lies broken.

Saving

I couldn’t save myself,
I couldn’t even try,
When all suns turned dark
All the waters ran dry.

There were no bird songs,
Or angels on clouds;
Just a press of fury,
In sexual crowds.

I tried hard to dance
To help with the pain,
Of not fitting in,
Of braving the disdain.

I tried many things;
Each different from the past;
I tried saving each,
I tried to make them last.

But, you see, I am jaded,
And I know Hope as a liar,
I know the lampoons of Fate,
I know Ambition’s mire.

I can’t weep anymore:
Age has taken all my tears;
But I wish it had left me one
And taken instead my fears.

I know people are cruel,
For I am people, too,
And Gadgets have not helped,
After Nature laughed and withdrew.

I can’t save myself now,
It is too late to try
And why even bother, I ask,
When it all has to die?
