Love In Barren Land
Love in barren land
I sow my love in barren land
as tears water
blood manures
no buds bloom
inhumanity crawls,
Dust shadows the bright sky
dark clouds veil
cries the blue
and masked moonlight
hatred rips my soul,
There comes no twilight
no new sun rises
lost in absolute black
wailing through night
to erratic sleep's embrace,
I sow my love in barren land
and wait and wait
eyes end up in dryness
heartbeats regress
nothing to anticipate ...
