X Poem by Aloke Mukherjee

X



I want to kiss your lips for the last-time'

I want to sink my desire below your navel

once more before I move on to the abyss,

I want to love as love can be; before void

closes on me.


Once more I want to climb the mounds of wreckage

to the sky of limitless clouds till my weak knees give in

Once again, perhaps the last! I can not find you but in

the anamnesis or in the little heavens on the snowy peaks.


Once again, I will drink life to the lees, the crystal glass

ornate with exquisite etchings of love, desire and hate!

I know I am to die but I've found an egress to athanasia!

Once again, once again I'll go to you, to my goddess for life.
