FAREWELL

FAREWELL

IAM SAD

MY FRIEND SPEAKS TO ME IN MONOSYLLABLES
WHY? I KNOW NOT
IT NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE.
HE SAID JUST A ‘HELLO’ WHEN WE
MET LAST TIME AND THEN PARTED.
A HELLO IS HOLLOW
A HI IS A LIE
I NEED TOBE SPOKEN TO
AS OF YEST AS OF ETERNITY.
I AM RESERVED WHEN IT COMES TO
SPEAKING WITH AIR AND VOCAL CORD.
BUT, WHEN IT COMES TO BLACK AND WHITE
I BECOME PERENNIAL.
PERHAPS, I SHOULD HAVE MAINTAINED BREVITY,
AFTER ALL FAMILIARITY BREEDS CONTEMPT.
DID I CORRUPT YOUR SOLITUDE BY MY WORDS?
DID I TRESSPASS INTO YOUR SANCTITY?
DID I MAKE RIPPLES IN THE OTHERWISE CALM WATERS?
DID I………..
IF SO, I MAKE MYSELF A BIG SORRY
AND RETIRE TO MY COCCOON,FOR
WHEN I GROW WINGS AND BE A BUTTERFLY,
I ALWAYS OPEN UP TO FONDNESS IN SUCH PROFUSION.
SO DEAREST, I RETIRE TO MY NICHE
I CLOSE MYSELF TO EXTERNITY.
YOU MAKE FRIENDS WITH THE COSMOS!
I RETIRE, A NON ENTITY!
