telescoped time 2
a device in dramas
defying the unities
but never in real
life till now the
distance brought
larger and clearer
clunk collapsing
when eye and scene
crash in to compact
ness for travelling
not seeing you yet
the images remain
being burnt upon
my retina and my
heart those moments
of parting like no
other in intensity
and radical change
who am I what is
was will be reality
anchored to our
passing yet eternal
union where love’s
mystery recalibrates
transfigures and
enchants turning
dross into gold as
it forges the bond
of bliss made in
heaven by love
himself
