edify what remains in me, i beg of you!
fast for three sets of ten-years
breathe in the generous tears
never exhaling in completion . . .
solitude grows into a safest companion
lives pass by and handsomely multiply
the longing still consents to no passersby
but then sensation enters
your frame’s aged wisdom
is filled with its first ever self-belief
your arid cells cry out womanhood – your birthright legacy
in ceaseless trust all wed your blazing passion
silenced since . . .
heeding your throbbing psyche
after having starved it for long
you become one for a blissful while
the instant comes fast to divide
i hear you went on to your theories
opting to instruct a joy for your intellect instead
when did you resolve your time of bidding me farewell was just?
what was to become of your devoted pupil
you left with no respect to her aching pain?
loneliness cannot lie anymore
for i had not been sated before
hence the inconsolable aftermath
i am emptied
