Forever

 I am a man of forever-

As are my traits and ideas,

Love and disdain.

 

I am also, a man of conviction-

I might seek re-assurances,

But, irrespectively, I always believe.

 

Obligations can hold me back,

For how long, but?

Unfailingly, I reunite-

With my quest for forever.

 

The mind has been forlorn,

From its depths, thoughts

Rarely wash ashore.

 

But believe, you must,

In my forever-

For, you are in it.

 

I will find words for you,

Simple but aplenty-

Words that are forever.

 

The distances that,

Creep in between,

Are ephemeral.

 

But you will survive,

As will I.

Together. Forever.

Sapiens

The arts are magical,

Fantasies, they sustain.

Opium for the heart,

But, they shrink the brain.

 

Subjectivity takes its toll,

Differentiating wrong from right.

It needs to be scarce,

Appreciate it then, we might.

 

For too long, life has been an art,

A story of bravado and defiance.

Time and again, Sapiens must rekindle,

The lost love for Science.
