Anniversary Of Flirtation

Imitating the waves, 
I try to end the attachment 
touching the shores, 
then moving away. 
Search for eternity erases 
the designs. Birth 
and death cling together. 
I let go the passion, 
the deviation of fear. 
There cannot be two lives. 

When the illusion meets 
the pain, truth laughs, 
I forego my future, 
tear the past and burn the present. 
Failed life hangs on 
the silence of sorrow. 
Names don’t hold any charm 
they come & go. Days 
dropp like long coats 
I search the night. 

The desperate seeking 
will not end the journey 
It is there in the dark hole of the heart. 
A pitless gloom. 
I am afraid to be revealed. 
Art of life is scissored, 
Anniversary of flirtation 
with death forgotten. We celebrate.
