Jaded Partitions
Are you old and tired?
What are you waiting for?
The sun that rose for you every morning
Has left your termite-eaten, hollow walls- faded, jaded!
Yet you wake up every morning,
You brush your lone molar, twin canines!
What can you tear?
What’s left to chew?
Your sweetheart once,
Your heart’s rhythm,
Your love in youth,
Your lover still,
Is weary too!
Yet, lies awake
All night through.
Afraid to lose-
Her love to chance,
Hoping still,
For a chance to love.
Your pride is swollen,
But your love vacant
Your joints stiff
And your mind unbending…
Wake up from this gory dream
And let the fatigued walls collapse.
For, on the other side
Of this partition,
A symphony waits to explode,
Your waltz of love to enchant,
…and your union to freeze time!
