—Ours, Beyond Sight—
If this be sin, then let me dwell therein,
a little longer, folded in thy breath;
Let no world's eye adjudge where we begin,
nor drag our hidden sacrament to death.
Come, wrap me as the wind enfolds the rose,
whose fragrance deepens where no witness breathes;
Till our two shadows mingle, and none knows
which of us first surrendered what sight sees.
Yet when the world commands that love be seen,
I shall not yield our silence to its sight;
For what we are exceeds what we have been
made visible beneath another's light.
Let others prove their loves by what they show;
We are the truth no witness can bestow.
No news is good news; the known saying goes
Whether stated in prose, or its meted in rhyme
That's the outlook it seems the eu's designed
Whether covid or conflict, they play the same way
There's no voice of dissention, allowed; it's all bad
Yet they're in control of its outflow, and in general
That's sad' Maybe RT was biased? to a certain extent'
Yet people did watch, and so adjudge; on its bents
I could always turn it off though; and often I did'
I didn't need a big brother, with volumes of kid'
So they believe the known saying then..)
(No news is good news) yet straighten their ties
Slap on greasepaint; and polish their shoes'
Then feed out, even more jollop
To you'se; thats no lies'
Travelling through the pristine path,
which has very few foot prints,
and knowing that it is a risky footpath;
Help me through or give me a hint;
Am I on the right path?
Despite the relentless hindrance,
and amidst all the hatred,
I traversed a pretty long distance,
Tell me before I get faded,
Am I on the right path?
With mind full of inexplicable chaos
and heart full of concealed torment
I bow before you, Show me an oasis,
adjudge my unanswered lament
and tell me, Am I on the right path?
To adjudge, 'tis having promise from a pout-
inviting what for two shall improvise
whence having been this near, I can without,
not kiss you more without due compromise,
though tempting does it offer much reprise.
