Vantage Point

Serenading you with my sincerity
assembling praises in your name
your one glance falls in place 
a thousand emotions it resurrects.

Dawn is the new dusk
you pretend and wave it off
but the beauty in it 
like an elephant without a tusk.

I wander to find peace 
to render apologies apiece
my state of mind eloquent of a mirage
and I stay true to this farce
reality sickens me to the core
bringing redundant conversations to the fore.

Dredging up new barriers
setting up new boundaries.

Parsing life stuck at this juncture
now I run slower 
and a lot less hunger
our differences like embers 
time smouldered them
now settled beneath the ashes forever
still flickering by  power of faith
memories waiting for someone to remember.
