Forever

I wrote this 2 years ago, retrieved it from an old file and i just felt an impetus to post it.

Forever
Forever, I think of forever
But it does not exist
Neither do I
In my eyes were mystified avalanche,
Virulently cascading from
The chimney of the Alps
Restively churning, Turning away from
My non-existence

Forever, I think of forever
But the harder I think the more I cannot grasp
In my lips were words unspoken-
emblazoned across the mandibular orifice:
fine, dense but mutilating

Forever, I think of forever
Though I cannot not think about it
I struggle without finality
Its sound-firm, intense and unforgiving
Chisels across the globular channel of my ears
The sound so metallic recoils
Triumphantly against my stirrups

Cup-sized in my wintry palm
Is Forever- gliding along its fine line
Is its definition, Forever – the eternal,
the infinite – continues to mean
mystification of the body and the soul
adjunct to the rest of this
absurd, meaningless world
