The purple illusions
that calm for a while
then dissolve into water
as they are after all illusions.
A glance at an unbroken watch
Time is running,
and yet somebody isn't.
Reasons can be galore but
none, that my ears understand
none, that quiet my eyes as they search
for a reassuring pair
The spine creaks and aches.
It is used to standing alone
but it never leaves hope of some support
The empty corridors in my heart
and those in which I walk
Yet another glance and time's mocking flight
It jeers at my waiting, It doesn't understand
No one understands for whom my ears strain
No one understands for whom my eyes search
No one understands for whom I wait,
since forever, till forever
Not even, my lord, the one for whom I wait
