Take Heed, Xanniroda! Poem by Isaac Maliya

I am,
As I have been,
Time it is, for your banking
While I cling to the pulse,
It can be made, now
It can be broken, anytime
Take heed, Xanniroda!

I will not be,
As I have been,
Time it is, to sharpen yourself
Remember, I don’t own the pulse
It could have been made, yesterday
It can be rectified, anytime, anywhere
Take heed, Xanniroda!

In my nothingness, Xanniroda
Tears will still trickle down
Trickle down over sadness
Sadness for your having broken
Broken the promise of life
Life that could have been taken
Taken heed of, Xanniroda!

Dedication: To Xanniroda, please take heed!
