Ageless - 9.02.2017


I will know you through the eternal "why"
And un-know the face you used to show
During our breaks,
A matter of "how", before you fly.

Stepping in your traces, following your footsteps in the snow
I couldn't help but to think I, too, have the honor
of staying upon the shoulders of a giant, a hero.
Shying away, misspelling words, confusing which and whoms
and other mumblings are mere fumes,
Comparing to the weight of your thoughts,
imprinted on the intellect of a mere strain in the Universe.  

Mind making up words, they float adrift in front of my screen
They would not be seen otherwise, but this is akin
To a shadow looming above me, telling me to stop.
There is no coherence, no grammar in feeling, idiot!
Nor science nor law could explain the evenings
when I would drown my sorrows in thought
with the clock ticking, a disaster sought
In your cosmos.

I hide you in the lines of my poems
Embrace you with reverence
But utterances betray the fascination
With your Prometheus essence.
