Phasing

I.

I’m right where you are.

Exactly

in the same

Space

occupying the same

spot as you-

Because-

as we merge

and melt I find

my thoughts

have traveled

to a place

deep inside you-

and I feel you

deep inside me-

And I know—

There is no separation

more painful.

II.

My love, where have you gone?

so far from me—and yet—

I thought you would

return.

There are no words,

now,

no lyrical expressions of

Sorrow and sorry for everything

I didn’t do, and never did,

but was it worth it

in the end?

III.

Lying and lying away

from you I fall

And Fall and

fall again, and where are you?

In all my memories

the ones I miss

the most

are you.

Oblivion

is lovely

and quiet

But numbness gets old

And cold

Feelings, you know,

don’t suit me.

IV.

I thought you made me burn, for a moment,

But it was just a speck of light

reflecting from

the flecks- of

Light-

in your irises.

V.

You were so lovely then.

And lovelier still, you have

become, so dear, and so

Lovely—

The corner of your

mouth twitches with a

Smile, that begs me to breathe

the soft sigh

from your lips.

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
