a poem written on April 16th that seems to show my thoughts on someone
“There will be time” as T.S. Eliot said
for both of us to learn about ourselves
I have did what I wanted and still do
now waiting for you to feel what you did.
you will do what is old not what is new
and expect me to go on same as you
as if nothing is sacred and divine
only the supreme power of nature and the sky
not at all what I have gathered to be mine

I have stopped on the way to buy an advice
from those creatures you despise and dread
why yes, your mind will remain as cold as ice
and you shall never learn to accept
will treat yourself as an old wise man
and will save everything that you kept
for what? may I wonder, you do know
you are aging and time flies behind your back
like strangers or thieves, only to ruin your life
and make you regret why you never wore black.

But oh indeed, “There will be time”
for both of us to be ourselves and succeed
to be alone and lonely, and grieve
the moment that passed by with tears
obviously not yours but mine and mine alone
Not for you, but for myself, that is for sure.
I wish to remain honest as before, if you please
And No thanks, I will not have you to be released.
