Sojourn - Lies

Sometimes we are jubilant to find lost love, while sometimes we could not keep it for fear of missing it once again. Sojourn demonstrates the different phases of love one has encountered in life.

 

Lies

 

Not even a day passes not thinking of

Someone who made my day

Who killed my nights �"

 

Yet, I say I don’t see you

In my dream anymore

 

Not even an hour travels not remembering of

Someone who damaged my clock

Who made me repeat my home work

 

Yet, I say I ne’er feel for her

Not even in my leisure

 

Not even a sight gets passed without getting blurred with tears

Feeling for someone who gave me sweet melancholic love

 

Yet, I say I ne’er raise my voice for her

In my scary moments also

 

Not even a moment gets uncaught moaning for

Someone to think a while back, I was scared to live, not to die

Just for her

 

Yet, I can’t say I don’t love her

In my truest indifference to find me alone!

 

I am the liar who lied to the world

I am the liar who lied to me

Only, I am the liar who did not lie to you.

This was really cool. I think it is the first piece that I have had the opportunity to read by you and I liked it alot. I was wondering why every poem began with : Sojourn? Cheers, lea

Yes this is also my favorite poem of yours...
This is incredible, I love the "structure" I love how the simplicity of the word and flow build it up into something so emotionally powerful.
Great work.
