why is my love so far from me
   why can she not be here
why do I live in a separate world
  and she in another sphere

why can we not walk hand in hand
  and frolick when we please
why do have to wait in pain
  for time to bring release

why did we fall in such fierce love
  that ties our hearts so tight
why did we not resist the pull
  of that immemorable night
  which filled our lives
        with sudden bliss
  and made the world stand still

why do we ravenously miss
  each other's eyes,
             our smiles, the kiss
  that seals our love
             and shrinks all space
  and joins us close
  as long as we just
                will

On a train.
Inside, a mosaic of faces
Eternal strangers
Passing by, changing places
Pace increases
My heart races.

Outside, life flashes by
Blurry instances and faces
A melange of random places.
Pace increases and in flashes
Shadowlights traverse my lashes
Leaving imprints on my soul.

Akin to impressionism
Colors, forms and spaces mix
Unifying to become
A prism of the Unknown.
Brake.
Stop.
