Lost in Cholera

I heard the day’s news,
160 dead…a few troubled,
Then my thought to you reached,
With melancholy, Beloved, Oh! Mine!
Are you fine?
In that distant place;
Away…far away,
Days to reach…

Troubling are these times,
As I write a letter to you,
One added to the toll,
Pray you hearken my words…
For Beloved, a distance saves my health…
A distance tries to touch your skin…

I fail to write!
I shake over…over and more…
Something pierced my ears and heart,
I wish to speak, words choke within,
One new number again to list,
The name revealed,
Oh! what a pain!
Tears all down these eyes;
As they stick to the TV box,
Hearing what they say,
Rejecting what they say,

NO! NO! NO WAY OUT!
LET ME END! LET YOU READ!

T.I.M.E.! S.T.O.P.! FREEZE
I will run,
Snatch you when you’re gone…

NO! You’re NOT GONE!
NO! YOU’RE NOT GONE!
But you are ………………………………………

Angelic Delight!

Wandering endlessly, I look for a vision,
Of a distant voice that aches a longing,
Where spring stays, the cold never comes,
Where patience reigns, prejudice never forms!

Behind the mountains, across the land,
...lies endless hills and endless dales,
...endless soft ground we thus touch at points,
As we walk, walk and walk!

And ask to me, what the voice is like?
I reclaim, "Angelic delight! Angelic delight!
Tender, soft, soothing and calm,
Deep is her voice, just like the sea,
Scorning, mocking, showing the way,
Joyous like wind (that sways the fields),
Merry is that voice!"

Thus in delight, I wait; it comes,
For displaced distance, we are near,
As they stare the beauty surpasses,
To them it thus fades, that soul I love and long!

Baby, I Love You!

Oh! look merry love, you are pretending hate,
Joys of togetherness, you're saying distance!
How stubborn you sound...how cute you look,
Baby tell me, I Love You!

You long my presence, I do the same,
And in presence you quarrel...that sweet anger,
As you test my patience, test my love,
You find it queer, yet you accept the fact.

Ignorant you sound, caring deep within,
Hunny, your smile and laughter I recall in days,
For in the serene night, soothing wind,
As the stars shine...one falls down,
Longing my way...you're that star.

And till the wind blows, in rage or tender,
It sends my love.

Thus in every air you breathe,
You breathe my love!
