.offerings.

if i brought you an offering
a little red fish
or the lines on my pamls.

if i surrender my secret wishes
before an empty crowd.

if i went on a journey
in search for an old wise man
to tell me what would make you the happiest.

if i told lies and sold them as truth
and then wrapped them in a song
and declared all that i have done.

if i danced for fools
and kissed in vain just to forget you.

if i did all these things
just to keep you and then to lose you.

these are the offerings of a heart
that is sick with you.


by your's truly
