UN-TITLED OR ABSTRACT
=======================
Nothing happens in my life ; as I plan or desire
be it Love or Hatred , as deep as I feel
Somewhere within, - there is fissure or crack
or like termite- eaten gap built up
or all, some where lost !
Or ; like flowing water glide down
with nothing to bind me anymore !
Who is there now close as -- sweet and dear !
Can't even feel the pain in heart in your suffering
Or what is there , any more, close to my Soul
to invite fore a while to to be close plead to stay !
It happens no more ; to look or feel , even love
or sitting close
with my face stuck to my bosom -and
stare and sip or look on and on at your smiling face 1
Or even in your utter distress - - - - - - - -
don't feel the melting tears rolling down my cheek !
Then --------------
then shall all my waiting days in my coming Life
drop or shrivel like withered flower ; in the end - and
even before the Sun-set tinge of life
signals my Departure Time !
Where and whom shall I , at least , find and learn to love
even that signalling sign
I do not find or feel any more in me
to try !
