Nightfall (For Chisolum)

Nightfall comes with blues...... And memories of you. 

Nightfall is beautiful

When you hold me hostage.

The night sky twinkles in the rain

When you stay in my mind,

Goddess,

You pulled me

Along a slippery road

To the level plane of kilmanjero,

Where

The wind was warm,

Where

I ripped out my heart.

See, my heart is standing still

In your palms;

Scarred by the knives

You thrust through your eyes,

Your eyes,

That when I look into,

Burn my lenses dry.

So, look me tenderly,

When next I walk

To your shrine,

When next, I bleed

For you.

Even, as you walk into the sunset,

With my stillborn heart,

Goddess,

Let your tears fall on the chambers,

Lest,

My soul dies of thirst.

It is always at night that I see

The blur of your face,

Shinny like diamond, as today.

And, nightfall is sad

And, the dry sky, 

Star-less

And the wind,

 Freezing.

You left me.
