Somedays
Time is useless comfort
Its dateless injuries
Masks themselves as art
And haunt obssessively
Oppressed by the encumbrance
How my pen complains
With the countless strokes
That never can explain-
Why death is all about me
Why love can swiftly turn
How hate is cold afflicition
How gentile tears can burn-
Yet hidden in contention
And outcast to this state
Emotions wax and wane
And someday will abate.
