Visible, the want not to be
Together, the need not to be
The need to be seen, but afar
The want to be together, but afar
Will finiteness of time, I beat
Can what I have lost not, I find
Could what is not, I ever lose
To care not, should I but care for
Life but changes, in the noise
When deaf I grow, settled is my mind
To exist, but grows in wanting
To live, but is for nothing to want
Trickling by, moments depart
Rushing by, the years arrive
Time, but in ache for solitude
Time, but voices be distant
Precedence born, presence be gone
Wrinkling my soul, company I need not
Losing all I want, finding what I seek not
Stillness evades, nothingness instead
Moments like sand, orphaned grains
Together, but daunting mountains
Antagonist, protagonist, they remain
One day the hero, battle onwards I do
But yesterday, anti-hero I too
Travels without a step
Home in strange newness
Comfort in empty vastness
Closeness in suspended journeys
Love in abstract nearness
Loss in imaginary horizons
Visible, the want not to be
Together, the need not to be
The need to be seen, but afar
The want to be together, but afar
