Sans you
I sketched my emptiness, called it ‘sans you’,
Which, the walls too confess, call it ‘sans you’.
How many years of utter loneliness?
I sketched my listlessness, called it ‘sans you’.
A desolate island now stands in heart,
Sketched its sheer barrenness, called it ‘sans you’.
No more springs, life’s all autumn, grey and dull,
This gloomy awareness was called ‘sans you’.
In sombre silence born of my sadness
That my life’s spent in stress, I call ‘sans you’.
