“Love wishes to perpetuate itself. 
Love wishes for immortality”. -  Mortimer Adler


I feel my soul is carried away by the tide of time
from my being transiently rooted in the present
to the distant desolate island  
where I was once, but left it forever.
That’s the fading past receding fast,
but yet to be abandoned and obliterated. 

I trace the shifting shadow of the furtive future, 
configuring the image of illusive love, 
that time carries as the mesmerizing mirage  
across the desert landscape life has designed in mind, 
where dwells the aspiration of perpetuity 
with the dormant dream of immortality.

I perceive the entrancing undying memory,
revive from the receptive recess of the past 
as the flying bird of my liberated love, 
that soars with my present in your sky, 
and spreads the dreaming wings to embrace
the lasting happiness in the halcyon horizon of future.

I drift with the essence of the imperishable soul,
sailing in the sublime sea of eternity,
and steered by the congenial wind of unabated love, 
blowing on the sanguine sail of desire,
I wish to get from the stalled time's generosity,
the surreal gift of being immortal.
