Me, myself & I… did I miss anyone out?
This is me… and this is where I give vent to my narcissistic tendencies…
I remain what I was, and I shall remain so… Constancy is a virtue… At least in my books. And that is all that matters.
I have been tricked by flying too close
to what I thought I loved
Now the candleflame is out, the wine spilled,
and the lovers have withdrawn
somewhere beyond my squinting.
The amounts I thought I’d won, I’ve lost.
My prayers become bitter and all about blindness.
How wonderful it was to be for a while
with those who surrender.
Others only turn their faces one way,
then another, like pigeon in flight.
I have known pigeons who fly in a nowhere,
and birds that eat grainlessness,
and tailors who sew beautiful clothes
by tearing them to pieces
