For the waves that crossed the sea

Lend me the hope that never dies

that can withstand the most terrible of storms

I feel the burden of brutal sacrifices

as they leave me confined  in my solitude.

I shall be freed from the grace of angels

to fall back to my material life

I now search for a reason to live,

a life of better objectives.

She is gone now,perhaps to never come back

As the only muse of a poet

Her name shall be lithographed

In all the metaphors I shall embrace.

I taste the failure more brighter

than the sweetest of joys

Perhaps that was my destination as a poet

its the prize for one deep thought

that I'd hold her for all of eternity.

 

But occasionally I will write odes to her beauty

And I ll pretend to the world, 

that she is still with me.

bad breakup or death? it is a beautiful poem

[Dayran]

In that heart of experience where all is one, a loss or gain appears largely insignificant. And yet it makes one choice that best serves its own purpose. Its a decision that unfolds slowly over time.
