WHAT TO DO?
Nightfall:
with the shrinking moon
and the dim stars
pass my moments
one by one
like the remnants of rain
falling one by one
silently and unnoticed
I am tugged by the loneliness
which like an octopus
closes in on me.
My best friend and my beloved
are in faraway lands
while the stretching lull of darkness
does not lend me peace.
What to O heart
What to do?
The jocundity of hollow tunes
Does not provide me merriment
The trap of time
Looms menacingly without a hush
Like a giant spider's web
All around my soul's prison
Is constant struggle my fate?
Where is the reward of my honest efforts?
Can anybody console me?
I am struggling
To reach out to my havens
of fidelity, love, warmth and bliss
Yet the whirlpool of my destiny
Mocks and pulls me down and deep
What am I to do?
