My fingers bled from knifepoint pens,
My heart bled out in scribbles.
A steady rhythm come to end,
A stanza cut through its middle.
Pats on my back from people hence,
They claim my words amuse them,
Yet live through them, still do I,
As I peer through their praise, my lens,
To see you across the lake.
I dole out sonnets like champagne,
But their words are meant for one only,
My meter, like the green light, wanes,
When I realize you aren't here with me.
I damn the day I dared to die,
And cross the barrier of promise,
I damn the moon, the whole night sky,
For bearing a tenth of your beauty.
And should I ever come to fly,
Eastward I will go surely,
For ever, and always, will I try,
To sate this immutable yearning.
