And Deadly Dear, Deadly To Wait! Poem by Melikhaya Zagagana

I have long-lost for appetite
been dozens of full-time days,
soaked, washed and dried in the sun.
I have caught cold in window peeps;
crossing roads on red light stops.

I have gone many days and craved for
-nothing more,
you are mirrored in the glass of water
- as i drink.
Dream about mindedly, windedly and
- sadly still
Only for you will i lose my sight for heart.

I have done mad runs but proven sane,
i have cried tear-less in long pain-
to see you without knowing how i feel
it tears me out to shambles and shame.

I have changed roads and hid behind branches
-with roses.
I often wonder if you will ever know
- this much of me.
I wonder if i will ever say so much to you,
shall i whisper to the eagles to write in
-the skies?
or i shall write a letter to the bright stars
- of the night
and say dear bright stars of the night i have
- a wish.

I have marked the woods but pity-less man
-burnt them for fire.
If i buy a rose it will wither in wasted times,
in the rain, winter-winter rain i shall be brave;
there will be no man to conspire and
-mock the day.
There will be water, wind and cold; so both will
-shake and surrender.
I will not cross the near river to have
- my love drowned.

I shall have this converse by no man nor children
-for history.
i will wait by the river bankx, by the sea
-shores and gates of death.
and deadly dear and deadly to wait through life times.
