I feel not like meeting you - I

Now that when darkness dares at me,
The flame of life flickers in me,
And loneliness stares at me,
I feel not like meeting you.

My life’s sun having set in me,
Its midnight having met in me,
And darker, morrow’s date in me, 
I feel not like meeting you.

Getting dull love’s image in me,
Raging my old age in me,
What with its wailing visage,
I feel not like meeting you.

When gasping gets my breath in me,
And death a firm faith in me
O urgent that calleth me,
I feel not like meeting you.

Tails when love’s sad tale in me, 
Its pain when gets no pale in me,
Gusts a giant gale in me,
I feel not like meeting you.

Nigh but limps when old love in me, 
No proof is left to prove in me, 
No new move left to move in me,
I feel not like meeting you.

With fault lines having spread in me,
Time that once led no more in me,
The heart that bled no more in me,
I feel not like meeting you.
