Hasan Ali - And I Lust

And I lust
lust for feeling
As I watch it crumble to dust
And stand in its majestic ruin

Readily do I sit in solitude weeping
Grieving the severance of my hopes
Without ever speaking of how I
Claw open the eyes of those dreaming

As I lust
lust for meaning
And watch as it turn to dusk
Standing around its majestic ruin

Verily have I been broken
Inevitable that it should happen again
But have I not also spoken
Words to the effect of causing an end

To their lust
Or rather its hopefulness
As they watch it crumble to dust
And stand in its majestic ruin

There is no puzzle to be a part of
And I am a key which fits in no lock

Hasan Ali
