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
