Should I? Yes, I should tell you:
Sweet solace of you is not enough.
In the sumptuous places,
Where we drink champagne,
And rise with mists of:
Accomplished and unaccomplished dreams…
Where, in reply – we hug each other,
And you squeeze my hand.
Of all that about our past and tomorrows,
Some glowing, some stern and dusky:
Coming and vanishing,
Vanishing and coming…

 

These are the rising moments,
When I hear the unbroken hoofbeats,
The crackling of an invisible whip.
What does it all mean?
It means our puppet show,
On this earth,
Somewhere has to end –
In The End!
The time to bring in ‘The End’ is nearer.
Imprinted like summons,
More and more frequently,
These thoughts are in my mind.
