Longing

That piano chord sets off a breeze

A summoning wind of everything

Candlelit shadow points the way

Into a world I long for.

Memories of a future where

I don’t lie of warmth

Stifled breath of cascades

Only but a forgotten wound.

As the sun dips into the ocean

Fade the light away for crystal balls of the beloved.

For once, I see.

Where I wish to be.

Feel the flinch of a snowflake

Meander into a teary river

Time- to lose all purpose and fairness

I beg on my knees, for an eternity.

There is no greater perfection

Even if the light blinds me

Even if the blizzard rips apart my lungs

I vow no mercy for myself.

And the dusk engrave me unto its land

Bury me in itself

I am a prisoner by will

Let me stay in my longing.
