I wait
When the rivers
effortlessly braid into the sea
and the atmosphere of night
was a feral incantation
I waited for you.
Even when you say we were no more
and your heart was expressionless -leery.
I still wait for you
overlooking the seaside below.
Brisk refreshing current
kissing my cheeks.
I walked a little preoccupied
in the whispers of benevolence
for I know not what I did wrong.
Words malicious and deep-seated
amputate and hurt far worse
than any other offense could.
When the sky circles indigo
sea-foam and traces
the murmurs of disappointment
with scarlet night- cloud
I wait for you.
I wait for you
till I cannot
wait no more....
