FORLORN

Gone but here, 

Atop my brooding heart

Far yet near

My thoughts brings her forth 

I miss my dear

And the halcyon days we had

Doughty visage shroud my tears

But lugubrious of countenance 

She severed ties tween us

And loses upon me an unalloyed loneliness 

I became unquiet and broody

Benighted of the path to walk henceforth

'tis loneliness all about me

My heart's desolate and hollow

Abandoned to brood

This, bitterness in my bosom

I passed into slumber at night 

Perchance this feeling will vanquish 

At my wake in the morn

Alas! Forlorn hope, it lingers on

Unavailing my quest for love anew

A damsel with ardour I crave for

To slough off this perpetual feeling

And cast off my woebegone visage. 

IF I WASNT HERE

If I wasn't here 

Perchance I'd be an angel

Looking downward with a pristine stare

Ostensibly, intimately with Gabriel 

If I wasn't here

I would feel no pain

I would breathe sans fear

And fly nude with no shame. 

If I wasn't here 

I won't need a hoe

Nor work my shoulder 

To put grains in my bowl

If I wasn't here

I won't have any foe

Waiting in repose to fleer

When I hit a stone with my toe

If I wasn't here

I would ne'er shed tears

Neither would a dirge pass by my ear

I'll walk the night with no fear. 

If I wasn't here 

The sun ne'er will burn my skin

Nor the rain fall on my hair 

No cold will be felt within 

If I wasn't here

I would never die

I won't have a body you can spear

No hands but wings to fly

If I wasn't here

I would be an angel 

Up high swerving in the sky 

I might e'en be an archangel 

LET THY TONGUE TELL

Oh hear me, ears of the universe

And pellucidly peruse my heart,

With thy plentiful eyes

Spill out thy notion,

outpour thy believe 

With thy telling tongue

Is this love dancing in me?

That I feel empty, yet hollow

The existence of this feeling

I do not know

Could it be love or whatchamacallit 

Not too long her eyes disappeared 

From where it use to meet my eyes

Not too long her glossy tender skin 

drifted away from where it use to grease  

My densely manly skin

Yet it feels like ages, long gone

Since she disappeared before my sight.

I sleep with her, Wake with her

Looking around thereafter,

Oh she's not here

But near the shore I exist, 

where my eyes cannot see

Nor my leg could walk

Amidst multitudes about me

I feel yet so alone, lonely too

That thousand words flew by

My ear couldn't hold any

My heart, I could feel it

Drifting away from the place I exist 

To yesterday before the wave of hands 

Oh ye, that yesterday, the halcyon days

The halcyon day Bathed with smiles 

Kisses and unbreakable nearness

E'en though once before now

In my mind I harbour

Thoughts I'm too strong to feel alone

And only the near vista

Would be painted on my mind

To slough off her existence

Till time pass to see again

Alas! I feel the emptiness 

In the abyss of my soul

Love, is it you?

Eyes of the universe see

Let thy tongue tell
