FalseA Poem by Alvin L. Kathembe
She shines,
Only star in a lonely sky Only twinkle in my clouded eye Only Muse for a forgotten Art Only pulse in a stony heart Last hint of colour in pallid cheeks Her love she hides, and my soul seeks She is perfectly formed, with no shadow, or flaws; Yet Time will prove her false. She shines, The last light left for me to see Lighthouse spied from lonely sea I'm only with her when I'm dreaming; The solution is simple; I am Dom Cobb, I am Rip van Winkle; Morning brings mourning; a tone, a shake For such is life that we must wake What is Day, but disappointment and pain? But the space between dreaming, and dreaming again? With her I soar free of consciousness' walls And Time will prove her false. © 2014 Alvin L. Kathembe |
