Love ! Life ! Love or Life ?


Streams of tears silently make their way 

through the crannies dimples, 

curves and arches 

of my face…

drenching my neck and heart,

dampening my courage once again.

My breath becomes laborious, 

My gaze is stuck at some point outside my window,

It travels farther than it seems…

it blurs and clears…

as the tears form and flow.

Love ! Life ! Love or Life ? 

How many times will you fight each other ?

The soldier in me is fatigued and frail,

Let’s get in a safe bargain,

Let’s sign a peace treaties…

With the ink of the leaking heart,

You won’t cross each other’s path again!

You will wait till the tears freeze… 

within and without 

As you decide to part.
