A Million Years and More
My heart beats faster,
just whenever she passes by,
her walking posture different from that of mere men,
the soil receives her every step with grace,
and the breeze whistles a song so melodious,
a million years and more
wait i,
having no courage for my mind pour.
on and on
this bawcock makes my bravery fail,
I stay abed
feeding myself with words,
I swallow hard on her sight,
I a blinking idiot,
I find myself in myself in sight of this auspicious mistress,
a million years and more
my wait was bootless,
cos my mind bears cantons
its bravery never pour
a million years and more
die, i silently
