Except for my heart

Poem

You continue -

to live and exist -

in the air,

both crisp and heavy;

in the water-

both elixir and poison,

and on days,

both bright and sullen.

and on nights,

impersonating both -

as silence and noise.

​

You continue -

to live and exist -

in my fathomless gashes,

since times immemorial;

in my half-hearted smiles-

disguising frowns;

and my tears,

painfully cathartic,

during moments rather frail.

​

Yes, indeed!

you continue -

to live and exist -

in hordes and in solitude;

in the streets - I walk,

and in words - I chalk.

You are in my prayers,

on more days than -

I would care to admit.

​

And yet,

You continue -

to live and exist.

Everywhere.

Except for my heart.
