We Exist For Each Other
We exist for each other
You can describe pain
Once you’re out of its
Singular bout.
In pursuit of outstretching its arms
Time swooped away a soul
Leaving behind in its swingeing saunter
Crumpled shadow of vulnerability
In a pair of avian eyes
Swooning further already fragile tone
In its gullet.
Whether incessant tremulous chatter
Calling perhaps the vanished mate
(As blaming circumstances and even
Mourning over the dead didn’t spell
In its utterance)
Could tremble the alleys
Otherwise welled up with bustle of erections
And boughs of clamorous chirrup
Over dried up grass in its beak
You can assume of!
Nature enticingly lures up
Existence doesn’t seem to approve, though
The entity we fondly call pair.
In its silky promise of welding together
Love renders on utterly alone.
In resolute yet tender grip
Of trust in life
Under obvious yet intangible
Compassion’s shadowy solace
The lugubrious call then
Flipped over your flitting absence.
Having delved its head
Into its own soothing wing feathers
Time sleeps on your writing table.
You can see living make
Devout destination for a being
To adapt to,
Yet you are oblivious of
One’s fear in losing it,
Poet, why!
