The Unbearable

We walked together a few steps
An endeavour for me
But a spring set in
Which enraptured me.

Now the autumn arrives
We tread upon
the shady leaves of destiny
I strive to imagine
A moment , an eternity
And I am pained
to find eternity so short.

The inevitable crossroads
And I will not deny
the fond memories.

Tonight

The still of the night,
the deafening silence,
then the brilliant darkness
and my arid soul.

With glazed eyes,
numbing grief that chokes my heart,
averting many a tear with all my will,
I pause time to reflect.

A blaze burned,
A fever raged,
A fire cooled,
The pain eased
I did triumph then.
I looked on as they carried me away.
