LOVING DEATH

I have seen death

A fraction of it  though

In your cold looks,

In your forgetfulness of the other

In me growing impotent with time ,

In your loving absent-mindedness

Filled with moon beams

With  utter disregard

To  my dry kisses on your rosy cheeks .

I have seen death

In  the touch your spittle

In my mouth leading to

A long  flow of sweet poison

Along a stream  of blind hate

Oozing a foam of a different love .

I see death

In  your turning away from my  shadow

In the afternoon of our separation

To fulfill an ordinary Sun staring at you

From above with hot shower

Of  false promises.

I die every moment

With you, without you,

Without you

With you.
