Off Zoned

I feel like I have left my feelings somewhere else...


lonely...


abandoned...


freezing!


And wherever they are
They are crying!
Shouting!
Screaming out my name in all tongues
for they know not what I have become.



I have fallen...


Apart?

In love?

So short?

What did your kiss do to me?

Did I get it?

Was it just an off-zone naveled thought?

I am withdrawn

I am that person which dies at the beginning

When will I ever reach the end?

Or will I?




The calendars are so few

she kept time around her wrist

I waste time under her love wings

Dear God

Forgive my loyalty to Love

I know we had to love you first but please understand

In this mortal life

we are both born of the love that never dies God!

Please

My dear God

understand this that...

None of these women can stand being a duet in a single man

Much worse for two man in a woman...

I am lost...

Is this my last heart beat?

I am lucky it still beats your name.

Mpila, I enjoyed your tantalising poem from the first line to this one: "I am lucky it still beats your name". Great work!
