Lovecraft Journey... Poem by PARTHA SARATHI PAUL

all the hours, minutes and seconds
that see and hear us away from one another
wait for the diamond silence at the time we meet again
and we count our dog-pants in our godly love-lock.

our stopwatch keeps every mini-seconds
and the countdown begins in the nick of time
but the world stands guard at our meeting-point
and we wait for a thousand ages till the things around

turn like mummies by our one hypnotic spell
and then we set out for the land of abracadabra
on the flying carpet of long-waiting mighty desires
and we shuttle from India to Egypt in a few twinkles!
