When you tell me
You need time
To get over love
You gave to be mine,
You fail to measure
One tiny thing:
This feeling, like
A golden ring,
Moulded between us,
In passion and desire,
Thoughts and promises,
All sorts of fire –
Forged despite hate,
Friends and others,
Resenting fathers,
Forgiving mothers.
Time is given
To those who need it.
To practise logic
And all that feeds it.
Time is needed
When you choose to forget.
What time need I,
If love is to be met?
The iridescent blue
Called to me once
The sky so far, the sea so strange,
Their turmoils, their dance.
The heat of Lanka
Baking the core of earth
And from its bloodied loins
Gave a Saturn birth
He was imprisoned
Under a throne
And I wonder
If I hear him moan
Riddled and lost
I write to make sense
The price rises high
When matter is less dense
But why blame matter
Gods there be, or you
The sea holds no promises
She can never be true
The sky makes the sun
Moon, and stars debate
Even feathers fall
Even air has weight
Put your hands in mud
Does it lie?
Is green better than blue,
Does it not die?
I seek forever
In an insignificant life
Look at humanity becoming
All of earth’s strife
But I look to me
And despite vanity
I become these colours
I am this reality
The seasons have left,
there are none for my future.
My measure stands bereft,
old wounds know no suture.
The leaves have crumbled
into a crypt filled with dust,
all of love lies jumbled
with loss, lies and lust.
It’s a mire of confusion.
What has life led me to?
It all seems like an illusion.
Who am I? Who are you?
The wind is still, the heat is here,
Hands take what they can.
I am left with what I think is fear
And no real measure of man.
My dogs die, like the seasons do,
Though I enjoy each most.
All that seems to remain true
Are the illnesses I guiltily host.
Regrets I have borrowed,
When I prided myself on having none.
And everything I followed,
Seems to in infinite circles run.
The sun now holds one promise,
maybe I yearn for him to be true:
somewhere, I will find my share of bliss,
sometime, I will be given my due.
