Last Due

Slay me, 

I can't bear the hatred, 

Slay me, 

I can't tolerate the pain.

I can't even become 

That wave 

That can gallop 

To a distance 

And 

Return to the ocean 

To the love call. 

The barricade 

Doesn't allow my errand 

To your territory. 

Halcyon days no more 

Give me 

The appetite to live, 

Wings of despair 

Are even 

Weak to lift me 

To aloneness. 

I flounder 

In my own zone, 

I can't bear the hatred, 

I can't tolerate the pain. 

Yes, 

Oh! My sweet past, 

Jump over 

The self created barrier 

And 

Come for a last tryst.

Give me the last due, 

Slay me 

To free me 

From mundane grief.
