interminably

Wandering, where my destiny lay
reaching out for a hand but found none

life lay there, scattered
around me
as i strove each day, to piece it together
unaware how byzantine it had become

until

thunder, lightening, wind, mist, sunshine- all at once 
on a Red night, i see the moon
unblemished, plenary, auroral, like it did not need the sun anymore
& there it is, i see it, a shadow
a shadow of someone i know, someone i have known interminably

someone who swept me away with flattery and charm
charm like i've known in few mortals
flattery to which i woke up one day

but most manifest was the pure, gentle heart

so, my habits i change now
distance myself from food and sleep. inconsequential.
i feed on conversations, on furtive hints, on unsaid promises, on inside jokes
on smiles, on laughter, on skirmishes
on permutations and combinations, cosmology and physics, on literature
& i hope

i know not where this leads
i know not how this ends
but i want to live it, bask in its splendour

so i leave the inevitable, to the eventual
& savour the moment
