"yearless" poems
Of colors born
from depths of human sight?
with fingers taking scuffing steps
and their raspy breath
for years of yearless quest,
what gold weigh with a
master’s piece made destitute
by passion wants?
Visions mothering hues and strokes,
in blood, tears, and sweat hardening on the canvas,
from pockets that solely dreams of bread to sit on the table,
would they find the worth?
Lo, when the hours covet sleep,
but the soul in the soul lay wide awake,
and night and day bleed on each other and the yearn chafes his bones no end to be under promise to the craft.
“Apologies, but into the word art, simplify not,
nor of labels you set a perilous climb to a wicked peak take refuge.
For whilst eyes, in liberty, take pleasure in mocking outcomes,
the road on the way there taxed the soul flesh pound per pound.”

One day weeks to months,
1 year decades of centuries
We are ageless dayless yearless call us monthsless
We the enemies to time we repel
Our love is a story untold
It never runs any old.
In her absence days feel like years,
Yet a year is like a day in her presence.
Time apart from her
Is as good as time in hell.
How old are we?
Everyone is curious
I blame them not
This love is burning
Interesting
Luring
And exciting
But I tell them a joke of their ears,
We are ageless
We have no days weeks or months
No years decades of centuries
We were born loving each other from afar
Our meeting was just a destined fate from start.
Red rose of the back rose,
It's an amazing journey colouring the roads.

I want to feel my life
I don’t want to see it from the other side
I don’t want to be free of it
I just want to be free of all of this
I’m not alone
Although I feel it
Although I am swan-necked,
Yearless,
Unsinkable,
I have Him with me
He knows my story
He knows I’m stronger than I feel,
But sometimes—just sometimes—
I feel totally empowered,
but I’m stuck powerless
