Fleeting the moment: enduring the thought, 
All love is illusion, yet I find myself caught, 
Like a fly in a trap, 
Whence there’s no hieing back
        
...
    
                    Ganges Love
                    
                    Fleeting the moment: enduring the thought, 
All love is illusion, yet I find myself caught, 
Like a fly in a trap, 
Whence there’s no hieing back
To a sky where the blue reeks of sorrow.
O! summer deceiver, you sprang your trap well; 
All highways to heaven hide a trapdoor to hell, 
Yet I can never forget
How that summer we met
On a shore on the far side of longing.
The flooding of senses made no sense at all; 
Ah, would that I could be, held fast in your thrall, 
Yet I dare not ask why
When never bluer the sky, 
Love struck like the summerstruck Ganges.
