I'D WAIT FOR YOU...
Just as the sun is sure that night
is on its way..
And the Foetus knows it will be delivered someday..
Just so
will I wait for you, only if you believe my words are true....
The flash of lightning signals the arrival of thunder..
And a sick child wakes always to the teary eyes of it's mother...
Likewise
shall I wait for you, and I'd make your memories the force which pulls me
through....
The moon shall be the priest that binds us...
I'd guide
my tears into your soul and wash you anew...
Distance would steal my thoughts
and take you afar off...
But I'd gaze into your eye and rest assured - that I'd
wait for you...!
:- excerpts from 'For the love of you (Brooke)'
James Joyce:
ReplyDeleteWhat counsel has the hooded moon
Put in thy heart, my shyly sweet,
Of Love in ancient plenilune,
Glory and stars beneath his feet -- -
A sage that is but kith and kin
With the comedian Capuchin?
Believe me rather that am wise
In disregard of the divine,
A glory kindles in those eyes
Trembles to starlight. Mine, O Mine!
No more be tears in moon or mist
For thee, sweet sentimentalist.
