it's strange, you're still waiting for me, -
while, I've been lost since many
decades, in your immortal
love, I'm wandering
from earth
to sky
in sustained way, I don't know, where's
so called absolution point, the
enigmatic darkness, and
emerging temptress,
everywhere is
a silence
of ruins, do not know how, still burning -
the earthen lamp, once you've lit,
though several storms have
been passed above
the collapsed
altar - -
