In and Out

My love long lost, i found in you
But i pray you, return my love not,
For i am afraid i might lose u in the trials to come;
I fear the vast blue seas stretching between us;
The horizon bounds me in my solitude.

I lament as the sun goes down, when
I can't but let you take leave, a wistful you;
And then as i recline, the stars i thank
For their twinkling smiles, that ease my yearning
In yours, and i smile through my tears.

In love, I lived my every breath, the love
That embraced me, eluded my passion
Or just observed, mute, cold, deadly;
But now as love conquers me, clenching
My life, rekindling the frozen, i throb.

Flimsy masks, unyielding ties so fragile,
The passion unattended to, seering high;
Tongue-tied, as the unsaid echoes aloud,
Strangled emotions shiver free; and the
Muses tickle, unfolding the charm.

As the unbowing self shatters its pride, the
Fences, thorny, yield to a one-faith green.
Hallowing the unforgiven, sweetening the bitter,
Belittling the guilt that builds with every high,
The saga leads into an impasse, a dead lock.
