Celebrate Immortality. Poem by Peya Jakob

Too many things pass unnoticed,
stories untold,
to many paths go untaken,
futures that never unfold.
Strangers go unseen, eyes never meet,
fruits of life untasted,
bitter or sweet?
Life a short journey, here, then there.
Meaning nothing when i used to care, nothing to share, different worlds, different air.
Smells, sights forgotten, love forsaken, a world of lies, what color are your eyes?
My quest for love led me nowhere, my life of singularly invalid mistakes, chased you away, not that you would have stayed.
I fought for a wrong cause,
my only aspiration is eternal repose.
Let my head rest upon your shoulder,
warm as the world grows colder,
and if my eyes rest upon your face,
a vagrant heart will find a resting place.

for the girl at Unza with a spider tatoo.
