Let me for somewhere I should stroll
Bid thee farewell. You, eternal wonder
that enthralls my soul, will always tolls
like a muezzin’s serene call yonder.

Dwelling in days and nights with dignity?

As long as I can embrace you till the end
And my heart can shout loud: I have loved.

In this still place, where murmurs on
But one meek streamlet, only one:

Good Bye

Remember the old drunk at your church
who elbowed me on the ribs
and muttered something I undestood not?
You said he meant he wanted to talk to God
I returned his with mine and said "Me too…"

For instance, and there’s Bacon;
There’s Longfellow, and Monstrelet,
And also Colton’s “ Lacon,”
With “Laws of Whist” and those • of Libel,
And Euclid, and the Mormon Bible.

Of Love & Sex

© Sukasah Syahdan

that love was just a bucket of bullshit; then I--

nonetheless to organize and decorate my heart?
If we had to exist to become the one we love,
what would the heart have to create?

and hear the faithful tick-tock
of a perishing machine
