Pure Romance
Like Almitra, I wove him clothes of welcome,
Embarrassing him with riches from my heart -
Gestures quietly gracious, unremarkable,
All glamour-less, but transcendental, smart.
Despite my sacrificial sense of giving,
The evidence, reviewed in his defence,
Revealed a soul wise in agape's art,
And prophet's craft that modelled pure romance.
His ship, reloaded, pulls away from shore.
I wave at him, the vision slowly vanishing.
He does not turn, his sights already set
On other welcomes, worthier romancing.
The truth is bitter, sweetness easily sours.
The illusion the most perfect trails a darkness
Hard to fathom in its morbid depth.
Love, unregistered, assures the purest anguish.

About Me
- goinghome
- I am on a curiodyssey. Inherent is the desire for freedom and at the same time, a sense of its elusive ineffability, of constraints on obtaining or maintaining the state. Meditations on life, art, philosophy, humour and manifest phenomena can open doors, unlock chains or just lift the illusion of feeling alone. This blog, a media magpie, rounds up shiny scrolls and schedules select viewing!
