LOVE'S DUES
He left yesterday. Images of fallow roads puncture my solitude, and fade. The sun erodes my thoughts like a dry sponge. They grow dim - love's tendrils wind their way around my heart to build on solid ground a world apart that may by gentle force go on, and round him. The sky is not my friend today: it casts a garish spell on things and dreams. It counterpoises Camelot.
Alone, I'm heart struck, quite unwell, denizen-prisoner of inner space where only elves dare tread and trim with lace my memories of him. O give my life a sense of plot ! By lightning struck, I'm a rejected pawn with bunker-shaped dome, afraid of dawn. A weary nomad by this love accursed, I merely quarry sadness and thirst.
Prophets ! Seers ! read the riddle of subterranean fears, my eggshell life. Players in this game of tears deserve three lives. I find that I, poltroon, dare not pursue the sentimental lane, yet shining softly on my bed, Mock Moon, a gray, autumnal calm has stilled the pain, spreads down my spine, may paralyse my vows. Falling in line may take a thousand years, to plough a furrow through Love's harsh confines - I do not even know it's I who writes these lines. Life dissolved in threads, uninhabited plateaus, Cupid's arrow is weighed with woes ! Aphrodite should have sung last rites to the knife-wounds of my heart's plight.
