You drift away from each of us
Before you are sufficient;
We would long for you to live on,
We would not want you to leave.
You are too brief to understand
Way too voiceless to speak;
A threat to many who profess
A question that hearts raise.
You live too shortly in your way
With your flaws by the blue moon;
You are fast like a flowing river,
And with you is the eternal winter.
You are not a flawless toil
Incarnated in bones and soil;
You swarm the sins of my *****
The fire of my soul, and means.
You are bare as I’ll have my way
And yet you have none to say;
You are soundless, as I remember,
Shy and dominant as I recall.
And as though I have you in my veins
As my bare chest has reminded me;
As though I have no sins to close
As though I am so vacant as a rose.
And as though I am like a lavender,
I am never as stunning as a rose,
For the rose has threatened to ****,
For the rose has a bad will.
And as though the rose has a soul,
But with no age, with no cure
With no love to love me,
With the immortal love I desire.
And as though I want it to be,
As though I shan’t be jealous,
The rose and age have been zealous,
I am hurried by my time for thee.
And as though I want me to see,
That age is not cordial to me,
That age has but not my soul,
That age has given me my world.
As though I kept my fate in me,
As though I had it all alone,
As though it could ever last,
As though I could stay alive.
As though I kept my soul within me,
As though the moon could speak,
As though I could not feel worried,
As though I could still live.
As though I shall not die,
As though death shan’t cry,
As though I am idle to you,
As though I am too chaste to live.
As though poems cannot write,
As though I, the poet, shan’t tell,
As though words emit no light,
As though they shan’t wish me well.
As though all notions are mute,
As though no sound could speak.
As though all sights are gone,
As though jokes are not alone.
As though all notions are idle,
As though all poems are riddles,
As though our age is immortal,
As though our tongues shall last.
As though my age does not bleed,
And not blame all my sins on me,
My ends are not bleak but to meet,
Merry in a sense, troubling to be.
As though my age matters not,
I’ll live away my story short,
As though I am the poet of the day,
As though I am the sin of my words.
As though my age worries me not,
My passion shall let me free,
I and my verses shall wander not,
I and they are what we can be.
As though my age believes me not,
My stories ring but true to you,
I am the wise poet of honour,
Excite my songs and sing my hours.
As though my age stays beside me,
I shall not cheer but trust in me,
I cannot feel but I always see,
I cannot hear but feel at ease.
As though my love believes me not,
My heart is filled with loud cheer,
That in their own sense is aloof,
That in their sight is love.
As though my age shall last,
My countenance hast faith in me,
I am none that the world shall see,
The sole music of my naïve joy.
As though my age shall not fade,
As though I shall forever sing,
I shall cherish my everlasting sin,
I shall cherish what your poems mean.
As though my age shall not wane,
I shall cherish the eyes of storms,
Witness the benign shower of rain,
Feast on the innocent red night.
As though my age shall stay bright,
I shall strive to enjoy the light,
Bury myself deep in cold sunlight,
Watching the brilliant grass at night.
As though my age shall be here,
I shall excite the sage in me,
That a poet is I want to be,
That all shall last on a sunny day.
As though my age shall be with me,
I am the poet that one can be,
Stun the world with my tunes,
See the earth through the moon.
As though my age shall be near,
I shall choose but to live here,
I shan’t **** away nor move,
For a joy so soft that is a rose.
As though my age but hears,
I shall opt not to leave,
I shall still stay here aft’ long,
Playing back my old summer song.
As though my age shan’t falter,
I am the poetess that writs,
I have funny ears and wits,
I have a joke in my verse forever.
As though my age shall still live,
I am the poet that wants to hear,
Sings the tunes that are not present,
Reads the warm steps of the past.
As though my age shall triumph,
I’ll live and love inside my poems,
For this world is but an insulting drama,
An indulgent swoon of fake lovers.
As though my age shall remain,
None of such lives smells like rain,
That all that perish shall die again,
And many shall die of their own lust.
As though my age shall not swerve,
As though our lives are not curbed,
As though immortals are an excitement,
As though fate is an impediment.
As though my age is not tired,
As though my age is pure,
All I can think of is my nights,
None that I have seen is true.
As though my age is not wrinkled,
As though all is not lost in years,
As though all feet stay young,
As though skin stays fresh.
As though my age is bare,
As though aging is dead,
As though death shan't ring,
As though hearts shan't sing.
As though my age is idle,
As though my age is pure.
As though I could handle,
As though love is awake.
As though my age is here,
As though days shan’t pass,
As though my age shan’t die,
As though my age is love.
As though love is honest,
As though love is pure,
As though love does not deny,
As though love does not lie.
As though love is childish,
As though love is destiny,
As though love is festive,
As though love is poetry.
As though love is not age,
As though love stays alive,
As though love deeply feels,
As though love is not ill.
