Heart of Darkness/Love of Dark

Love in Times of Corona

 Pandemic poem

 Darkness of love
 Love of darkness

 My dearest love,
 unrealized love
 of my life

 Will I ever see you again?
 Every time I try to forget
 To forget how you make me feel
 I slip into my imagination

 Like a naked lover slips into the covers
 I sail with my imagination 
 around the world

 And fly through mountains,
 oceans, deserts and ravines,
 Only I am here
 not moving

 Every time I see you
 I suffer, when I don't
 I suffer more

 We are constricted
 by our bodies,
 geography
 and duties

 I never felt love so deep
 piercing my heart,
 killing me inside

 He grabbed me and 
 I went along - because
 that was the thing expected
 and so I stayed fit on the line

 Now I am neither fit,
 nor on the line -
 but at the end… of my wit

 You took me by surprise
 but look at the constraints
 we dwell behind the walls
 within each house alone

 I love you so, so much
 but not allowed to say it
 recoil back to darkness
