Love's Catastrophe

I open my eyes into another world,

The untouched universe of my mind,

I stood there amongst the floating whirlpool of smoke,

In white and heaven,

In silence and myself!

These clouds of heart moved apart in transparency,

In innocence and freshness,

I see you, the image of my past, the history of love,

A part of my heart’s flesh, you stand there,

I stand here!

I stretched my arm to touch you,

The first touch that any human can ever feel,

The unadulterated touch,

Like the healer’s hand that touched the dead girl,

Brought alive a world, a universe erupted like a volcano,

At that purity!

The unending ocean streamed through me,

Open your eyes beloved,

To witness; before the veils of time separate us,

Before your image dissolve into darkness!

One thought of faith, a curtain dropped between us,

Of wedding, another dropped from the skies into our minds,

Infinite masks we wear and thousands amid our existences,

Do we wish to touch each other like the blind?

Make love with closed eyes?

We breathe in heaven; sleep in those mild whirlpools of love,

Those burn all these cloaks between us,

I burn alive in these flames of revolution,

The white ashes of love waver in heaven, in silence,

I float in the whirlpool of smoke from the holocaust!

Can I ever touch you in death?
But we never touched life when alive!
