I have a backpack
stuffed and ready,
awash with the solitary
things i posses, my
aspirations and my dreams.
Between tauras and aries i shall
stop to catch my breath.
I posses no resolve
to end my odyssey,
my pilgrimage to tera mitca.
In my scouring for
things i dont know,
perharps i shall find myself.
I shall take the footpath around helios,
and touch jupiters moons.
When i listen closely, i shall
hear the orchestras conduct,
hear the priests chant their mantras
and the gentle tap of feet.
Surpassing the sun and all
celestial bodies,
will be my fixations heat,
a reminiscent of all the times our eyes would meet.
Your heart will beat
for all your loves, your fascination and your fear.
And i, between virgo and pisces
will try not to hear.
And yet it matters not to me
if every star would shut,
But i would stay and be a tribute to that one beating heart.
