After
Poem   for Professor Frye by Nausheen Eusu
   Guardian 
“The pale dawn
of longing descends,”
   with its relentless, unyielding stand;
    yet not completely voicing its way:  
   He hides  all this under cover of 
    Longing and  sane will  forging ahead.
   Yet   the Soul refuses to see  all this,
   for  it is in bemused  state,  The soul 
confronts  that   “outside the window frame is”
for the body and  soul now refuse to 
get along  the journey.
Father Time, unmindful of all 
these,  strides
in its  carriage
giving a  nod to
men  and pitfalls;
Looks as if Time  is convinced
That  Man is incorrigible
and 
Beyond redemption  at least now.
Now the trio of silence and dark flesh
and  jaded heart
with faded love;
it is all like  
a broken bone,
What is the broken bone, can one
Resuscitate life, infuse  romance?
It  darkens the flesh,
“ flesh is dark”
Loss of  faith,
loss of blood and 
Endpoint of living. Neither longing
Nor the bone succeed but only the 
Waiter Time with its measured beat.
