Truly Yours

Riding the train on a summer afternoon
feelings of fallacy hurled upon me,
satori in my brown orbs with a speck of gold dust inside,
I was ready to take on my heels back to you,
these intrusions being new
as I cannot assert with the flow
something pulled at my soul
for I lost all track of the sea,
fortified myself down the rabbit hole 
seasons turned hazy, 
troubled with blurring horizons
juxtaposing everyone else’s against yours in wild tones,
tangled in circles of alliances 
crestfallen over you,
just like a little parrot, the throbbing heart of mine
whispers syllables of your calling 
and it brought the storm along, 
the stark lightning of which struck the chord 
in dissipating the blues of mine 
aching to be raptured in untethered pragma of love, 
while into the deepest of desolation
stepping into your territory felt far-fetched ?
moon light shepherded through 
the momentary solace of the soul sought after,
etched onto my roots
when time demands of imperative forgetfulness 
you remain
the footprint of yours remain unparalleled in my infinity
