Should I come to life today? Or wait for you to speak
In monosyllables of negligence
No. Not today.
I may as well play the dead
For some more time.
And then you shall pass
Not like the gale
Not the breeze
Only a fleeting thought
From a lonely night
When the candle tired
Of peeping into lives
Through the hollows in the wall
We call windows
Blew out cold.
Let it pass.
This feather of thought
And glide to some place
Where it finds a tomb
Then I shall rise
Enlightened
And Wise
To claim my piece of land.
I shall haunt your joint no more
Or kill to show I care
Or wallow in some forest deep
Greener by my tears.
I shall leave as silently
As I should have come then
“What the Eyes pledge
The Lips cheat” -
will read my requiem.
