MY WAY

BENT DIGITAL VERSION CHRYSSA VELISSARIOU 2014

Life keeps me continuously busy

Business is the medicine for every 

lack, absence, failing, shortage, dearth...

or almost, anyway...

This is my way to keep going

To forget the dream which

conquers me and takes over me when my will

starts to be weak- just before sleep

So then I cry, contemplating a reality I don't like

a living I fell to change, a galloping of the time

I could never restrain- a life deprived of you

I love myself, I love my life, I am thankful

but you see you are my lack, the absence, the failing

my shortage, my insatiable dearth, my passion

If God let me choose I would exchange my everything

with you, no matter how unfair this is heard

no matter how pathetic seems to me to wish this

My mind, my soul, my body are stuck in this capsule

this tiny domain of my existence, in this perfect feeling

with you naked in my arms looking in your eyes

and seeing my image through you

Nothing else in the whole world could make me 

contemn everything except you

You are mine and I never really have touched you

You escaped without to please me, without to feed me

You have left me with a great unaccomplished hope

which is still slaughtering me, which keeps you still undead
