Time's coarse hands embellishes reality,
Rudimentary promises swoon and faint,
All the glimmer of now beckons a then,
eyes and soul never cave.
Although my fingers caress unknown hollow spaces,
They linger and search for you.
Although my fingertips are lifted by his,
They twist every time for your breath.
Although my lips quiver under his silence,
They shiver under your haunting embrace.
Although I lay next to a familiar face,
It's the one I loved, I seek.
Snapped at the brim of rose rains,
I desert myself on the abandoned Street,
Although we parted on contradictory lanes,
The teasing, the yearning, the moaning, all beseech thee.
So Harken, and search for the momentary pleasure,
There's a sweetness in temporary,
Although the impressions upon skin fade,
We have transcended the might of destiny.
