Poem: Longing

By Karim Nanvour

March 09, 2014

I have grown prematurely old in your love

I have lived too many lives in your longing

You have aided Far too long The hand of fate Against me

Today I’m here to claim What truly belongs to me

The cold abandoned space in your heart Is better Much better Than this jubilant world Drunk on its fatal ignorance Arrogant with its false pride

I claim the coldness of your heart

Return me my fair youth Once again Find me a new age to love you Find me a new century of longing
