A Fallacy to Kill

Eccentric desire to feel liberated in finding ANOTHER, to succumb the emptiness felt by the narrator. The motif turns topsy-turvy when the shadow of one's own self is being found.

A Fallacy to Kill

By �" Binu Peiris

 

I succumb,                                 

‘Tis a curse,

A lover at Zeus’ wrath,

A love,

A doomed punishment.

 

I desire YOU,

A personage,

A blend of flesh and blood,

A fervent lover,

An Angelic guardian,

A fine admirer.

 

I shall await thy presence,

An essence which shall diminish the dull,

An angel who shall empty the tetrad of walls,

A love that shall grant tranquility,

I shall await thy advent.

 

Why do I see YOU?

Why do I feel YOU?

Why do I sense YOUR presence?

Is it a delusion?

 

I sense my desire,

The ultimate need,

A decisive providence by God,

Yet, I wonder…

 

 

 

I am aware,

I do not feel YOU,

I sense YOU,

YOU’RE a shadow,

A shadow of my own.

 

I yearn for another,

Another to sate my void,

Another to foolishly love me,

Another to saintly defend me,

This ANOTHER a blend of flesh and blood,

Why not a sense?

A hollow soul.

 

I am aware,

Thus, it is revolting,

It is my own,

It is myself,

That offers me liberty,

A plague of a desire.

 

The hunger over ANOTHER,

Is no sin,

Yet, it is ignorance,

That cherishes a sinner,

It is MY OWN,

It is valiant,

It is myself,

It is no fallacy.
