One Truth

Author:

This is my truth,

Let it walk from me.

This is my soul let it sail away from me,

Broken mirrors would hold such light.

A ghost loved has breath again to feel night,

We will search and we will find.

Timeless Recherché le temp perdu

Mirrors marked archetypes reflected.

Triumvirate stories repeating in tandem to techno.

Vaults with stopwatches

Ticked rock calendars and burning water clocks.

Structural age aligned

Near to the newness

Reading encoded catwalks

Home in eternity

Heart beat for meaning.

The writer is the author of ‘Moonrise’, which is his first published title. He has been an active contributor to the Karachi Literature festival and has recited his work at other literary platforms too
