Rest in Peace.

June 6th, 2009.

Emotions Unwritten

Many a silken scarves I shall have to spin,
Unspin,
Discard,
Shade...

Many a drafts re-word,
Revise,
Remake...

Many a moments,
Re-live...


Before my jelly fingers
Will ever do justice
To the Prometheus they aim to sculpt.

The Peace in my soul...
Is agonizing.

Void

Unto another, sapphire night
Cast,
All your spells –
Make those stars,
Disappear.

Or pluck out each, like
Raisins,
Off hot muffins –
Douse those fireflies,
Forever.

On its undulating, black fabric
Then,
Carve my name –
Cursive, like a calamitous
Odyssey.

In a wicker basket, hand-woven
Arrange,
Nature’s silly laws –
Erratically, like your unkept
Promises.

Let my follies be
The Noose,
That strangles –
Me, my futile hopes
Utterly.

Slowly, again, mon cher
Chant,
A lullaby soft –
So at last, I may dream
Tonight.
