for indeed love changes everything
i would have changed you
everything in you
because of this love that i have for you
that encompasses
all the nooks of the milky way
galaxy,
time confronts every
cell in my body, and so here i am
understanding every error
of nature that i found in you
converting shame to love
indifference
to compassion,
it is not you that is changed by my love
it is my love that finally
changed me.

for J, T, and L
now i am seeing you all again
shining in your black vestments
like some shining stars in heaven
i am left here in my imaginings
looking for the brightest star
because i have decided myself
that i shall not be one
among the many
among those who had kept within their hearts
the loneliness of fame

for J....
I am glad
having said
i could have loved you more...
it is sad
when love withers
due to your suns
when the desert bears more sands
because you hated more
about dreams of waters
rains are strangers
and the caravan of camels
are trains of thoughts
traveling at night
and not knowing what days are...
i am an oasis
and i have no place for you anymore
the leaves of my date palms
do not recognize your songs
anymore.

for J....(honesty is still the best policy, and happiness is defined this way)
WHEN YOU decided to leave me
let me say once more that i will always admire your
honesty for that, and soon,
i might as well tell you that never in my life have i been so
happier when finally
you are gone completely,
for good.
this time i must know that you mean it and
i mean it too.
at par, mutuality at its best,
may you find your final rest.
