A portion of life, every moment gets torn out of me hurting, and flees away.

I’ve climbed up here
holding the hilt of time’s sword
after driving it
into my tender heart.

May I not so much be lost as would have
No time to look at myself
Ever.

Do not think
I’ve reached where I am now
by slipping like a landslide
or evaporating like a cloud.

Let us convert this night we are breathing together, to a bright morning.

Even after all that, each and every being here believe,
that the heat will be defeated and coolness will prevail.
The experience knows
that the rule of an autocrat cannot last long.

May I discard the outer cover of time
from the layers of poetry
by immersing the poet in its entirety
within me
