DESIRE

I’ve raised my head to look up

Tears have come down

It is raining everyday

Showers of repentance

They’ve told me that mercy is without an end

That I should comprehend

Patience has a limit

Although the key to my salvation

You detain

Speaking of a rebirth

I plead for death

That I may afresh commence

Not my life but Yours

Doctors have thought

Anaemia is the default  

Psychiatrists have said

Trauma has effects

Friends have warned

That you won’t

After me forever look

To express, I may not be able

To know I lament

Reflects upon me

The sun of justice

While I look I cannot see

Mysteries of tomorrow

My past is all that is present

It is not pleasant

Flying high up they look down

Down here I look small

Too small to reach your hand

Unless you come closer

Not a new book

To forget is not my desire

Not a new life

To pretend is not my intention

A rebirth

So it will be a virgin heart
