Transience

Light Drizzles From the stars On mascara clouds Of night, blown by a sudden wind: From the city's pavement the skies cosmetic drowns in light From the heart's cradle another Icarus long for flight And cannot shed the weight of dreams In the porous light Leaking time Leaking Life Night Brings back Love's cadence Moonscape memories Flocking upon the soul's hunger I am eaten by dreams from the web of carnal desires Will you again hold my hand and make your breast beat like waves In the conch shell lip of my ear This milk is curdled Now on time I weep Still Gone Then hopes Where dreams dare Remain like feathers From a broken wing. Life like ice In tropic seas forever melts ... the only truth is space
