Painful Longing
Perris, take my forlorn and lonely heart.
Though far apart.
Thank the dead words that reach you with a bruise.
That remarks of a loving man here in the vale!
Could blue flies traverse hills and mountains,
Your love would lead among vales and rivers.
Leading to one evening of sweet and melodic echoes,
Away from odd life that dispirits our efforts.
Till then, embrace and toil on the union we long for
Fear not, for the silence under our breaths lacerates not any more.
Iwould not risk the landing of my ring on your finger be a blow.
But will guard it invisibly for the imperfections to keep off. Wishes and hopes turns to boring niceties,
Like swirling putrefied fanciest roses.
The delight that will whiten my heart's blurriness,
Will weave the crevices that from each night long to see you.
I rather stay dumb until the day I hug you and unravel the big secret to your family
Than to swing on a ship that shrinks when the waves rises- For a painful longing has taken and engulfed every aspect of my veins and nerves.
