I cannot fathom
Such desire.
To see her brightness
Grow higher.

Why long for death,
Destruction?
Eudaemonia, as bittersweet as
My John.
A name of vicenary,
Aged one to two to nine.

A yearning
As dangerous as a dangerous flame.
That consumes my heart
With its console—like a deadly game.
For though the two,
Defeat or glory.
An aftermath—
So as a different story.

Scars and scabs,
Deep and wide.
And in my wake,
Countless goodbyes.
In glory of such senselessness!
Strive with all my might.

I thirst of her wounds,
Here and there, out of tune.
Melodies of our strings can reign,
I long of her, will she wane?




-
end.
