Debt

Photo by engin akyurt on Unsplash

Thirty-five

Apart from you

A tale of woe

A conqueror

A soul in terror

Grasping pining

Loving with rotten touch

Nothing knower

Love eater

Bhairava destroying worlds

What were never

Dour apparitions, become

Victims of dark memory

Save but a few

All in all, one life ago

Thirty-five,

apart from you.

But I am this life

Tally struck through:

There was never one,

But Never Two

And when I go

No loss, no gain

No separation,

Perhaps less pain

No more comparison

To conjure disdain

No more magic,

No more souls entrained

Thoughts, memories,

Not even yours

And in reckoning

Please see,

Only daiymons

Of a past

Casting shadows on a screen

A mosaic you’ve loved

Whether you

In light of joy and pain

Hold onto it

Or not

Release

All

Blame
