‘A LANDSCAPE LIVING IN THE EMBER’

A picture built in the landscape of my heart in the east
Dimmed by glances from the eye’s corner
Gone
Not like light
A candle kindled from a burning candle
A hidden picture wrinkled by glances
A picture built in a landscape living in the ember
In me
Your picture throbs,
Throbs and is missing.

‘A LANDSCAPE LIVING IN THE EMBER’

A picture built in the landscape of my heart in the east
Dimmed by glances from the eye’s corner
Gone
Not like light
A candle kindled from a burning candle
A hidden picture wrinkled by glances
A picture built in a landscape living in the ember
In me
Your picture throbs,
Throbs and is missing.

‘A LANDSCAPE LIVING IN THE EMBER’

A picture built in the landscape of my heart in the east
Dimmed by glances from the eye’s corner
Gone
Not like light
A candle kindled from a burning candle
A hidden picture wrinkled by glances
A picture built in a landscape living in the ember
In me
Your picture throbs,
Throbs and is missing.
