Never Will I Touch the Vine, O Valentine























O dear Clementine,
I know in my soul
You can’t be my valentine
If you wish or even if you don’t wish
Let your name be the moon
On my silhouetted skyline!

Your ears are deaf to my voice
Your eyes are blind to my words
The realization in my mind is total
I am blocked off your media
There isn’t any space in your circle,
I can rightly feel mine!

I walk the dark paths alone
Under the tall ghostlike trees
The night bushes with eyes
Staring at me, following me
You don’t hold any lamp for me
Why in my heart should I pine?

You’ll walk with that someone else
Who possesses all your profile;
You’ll embrace and kiss him
And offer him in worship your thoughts
 Your love grape will be an oblation for him
Never will I touch the vine!

The Silence of Death






















There is silence all around
Only silence
Nothing but silence!
The door of the  love hut is shut
And the front yard ---
doesn’t open its arms to me
The rose at the side ---
doesn’t smile to me anymore
The message board looks to me blankly
My deepest heart asks,
Why is this torturous quiet?
Why is this deafening silence?
Is it death? Is it death?
The silence replies, ‘Yes, it is!’
The door says rudely,
“Don’t come here any more --
seeking life!”
