No matter how beautiful the lines, a million seers could not express the very strand of love beating in my heart, tugged by


--
master i reisgned myself! once i knew i could not make you my own ! everything around me glooms , at one i am pulled by the weight of your love, and then i am loosing , sinking here , unable to keep footing. what can i string together to piece apart this pain. i accepted this loneliness. in the stillness of earth, my heart streams as clear clouds mother ! i swore on the arrow that struck the frail smile of my heart, i would lose this life loving you, though you would be no more mine than a glance.

Swept Away

At first, the way of your love
seemed easy.

I thought I’d reach
your union
with speed.

After taking a few steps
I found
the way is an Ocean.

When I stepped in,
a wave swept me away.
