A pale moon guards the deserted house jealously.
Snowflakes scatter amongst shadows of skeletal trees,
padding the dim silence of shuttered windows and bolted doors.
Behind the walls, under a solitary desk lamp, tendrils of cigar smoke
curl towards the ceiling from a silhouette behind the desk.
Words fail him again.
Remnants of hidden love lie
Crumpled in the bin.
It is a place that I had never been
It is a beauty that I had never seen
It is a value that I had never measured
It is a love that I had never treasured
It was the lesson learnt from my teacher
It was to see the full depth of each feature
It was to go back and search from within
It was to start with loving my own skin
It will be with sadness that I must move on
It will be discerning between right and wrong
It will be time to check against my new reflection
It will be time to stop looking for perfection
It is a time for being strong in my transitions
It is a year to make new binding decisions
It is an awakening from a dream to the real
It is a determining of exactly how I feel
Though the teaching methods were unusual
The student is filled with a sense of renewal
But sometimes the roles were reversed
When the teacher became the student first
The work of a teacher is never done
When one plus one equals one.
When the sun rises with her new grace
And sends glimmers to light up your face,
May you be peaceful in your repose
Recalling all that none but us knows.
As the arterials flow with your warm blood,
Let sun help your rose form its new bud.
It is your smile that I so sorely miss,
It is the miracle of loving you like this.
Walking the edges of your dark shadows
Between past highs and brand new lows,
Let pendulum retrace its swing back to you,
Stroking your soul to feelings anew.
Should you awake still feeling weary,
Nest in my soft pillows until you can see clearly.
For like a babe suckling on its mother’s breast,
You’ll find true love and soothing soft rest.
Dream sweetly my love,until we again meet
Where I’ll be waiting, open arms to greet.
In pursuit of love I tried to run
from the ordinary,
the mundane,
the drab of life’s existence,
dressed in my new clothes.
I saw love lurking in the shadows
furtively blending into the dark.
He moved like a bandit,
crouched like a sly cat
too elusive for me to catch.
Then the madness consumed me,
wanting so badly
for you to love me madly.
Beyond the world of reality,
in quest of the love in my dreams.
There were streets filled with people,
stridently stepping like me.
Turning dark corners,
ducking through alleyways,
sniffing for their opiate,
Stealing others’ needles for their dreams.
When I woke up to the ordinary,
I cried into my pillow, disappointed
that this was just a bad dream.
So I take out a clean sheet of paper
and doodle throughout the day.
Maybe tomorrow and the day
after – I’ll finally find you,
synchronistically searching for me,
The one who is not complete and whole
until he finds the other side of me.
I knew you when life was innocent
Like a babe in powder puff blankets
When your eyes still held a sparkle
Like the taste of foreign cuisine
Still distinct and experimentally spicy
When flavors were still imagined
I knew you when we were both lost
Entangled in the undergrowth of youth,
Of woven stems and mysterious brush
When we were free to define a new path
Climb the tallest trees seeking adventure
And envision new horizons’ allure
I knew you when you basked in my glory
When I searched the crowd for your face
Because my crown was ours to share
For all the good loving you vested in me
But best of all, it was that mischievous
Smile, dancing on the edge of your laughter
I knew you when we needed each other
To make our two worlds complete
When the universe was our hidden oyster
A brilliant white pearl, only our love’s secret
When the sound of your voice cocooned me
Then set me free to fly to the furthest skies
I knew you when you loved me deeply
Without mountains challenging us steeply
Time has gone by, seasons have changed
And I realize that I need to know you all over again
Spring has its glory and Autumn its own story to tell
We touched.
Shadowing fingers,
Print traces,
Hidden faces,
Still haunted by the same dream
Of a lover’s touch.
Still longing
For love’s rainy days
With its taste
Consumed in haste
Of wave’s cascading surges
When your mind met mine
And a hostage was taken of time
Two souls falling to rise again
In new incarnations
I feel you still!
Your lips don’t conceal!
Night deprives me of sleep
In daring dreams I keep
Reminiscing love’s fervor,
Ecstasy’s culminating murmur.
The first day of spring forever
A day to fondly remember
Moments suspended in time
In christenings deep and sublime
Head bowed down in holy devotions
Performing all rituals and motions
For deliverance of all rites of passage
In honor of love’s divine message
Breathing new fluttering fragrance
Lighting candles with ardent radiance
Two souls unite in sumptuous splendor
Hearts and minds in replete surrender
Lingering soft touches, and kisses
Fulfilling release of silent wishes
When sun’s new dawn arises
Lovers will reveal new disguises
Moist and sweet.
Rosebud opening
Leaves unfurling
Droplets falling.
Juicy, Wet, Standing
Waiting. Then the rush!
I got caught up in it…
Then… I was
Drenched and spent.
Venus visited me in a dream
and asked that I deliver you
this message :
return to less turbulent times
where you breathed divine
wisdom and peace with many
who adored you.
accept that disruptive forces
have entered your realm
and delight in the creation
and inspiration this offers
You.
Most of all, love remains
supreme and speak of it
fondly as the Goddess deemed
it should be.
Then she said: keep faith
in the love you have found
do not be distracted by
playfulness, which is part
of love’s charm, but know
that Serendipity has
special plans for you.
Finally she said: Be careful
Of your favorite rose. She
is surrounded by many thorns
who whisper everywhere.
In tending her, do take care.
I enjoyed the dream and
hope you will to.
