84. Devoid Moments II
I treasure you deep in my heart
for you are in my soul.
Am proud of you.
Am glad I do.
But coming moments
break me down
I shed tears
for am leaving you behind.
She, there’s a pain in my heart
that you; that you have been,
and the one that I have been
will dangle on time to again be.
So with agony in my heart that’s yours,
tears in my eyes that sees only you,
will and fortitude in my being that’s yours,
I promise, your living presence and self
will not be for long without.
85. Myself
Infinity at thought
bounded at finite limits,
what else can nature do?.
Abyss?
That is all.
And nothing else.
So within the limits
I remain vehemently myself,
impressed and unimpressed.
