In silence I suffer
The poison I drank,
Heart weeps lonely,
Tears run dry,
Afraid eyes may not lie,
I gaze at stars
At dead of night,
Words are damp
’cause my tears
rained on them,
Empty heart
Comes up barren,
When asked to give;
What value is
This life
That neither gives
Or takes,
Days pass by
As I merely survive;
Gently do I tread,
Walk to the grave,
Is lonely one;
At journey’s end waits
A cold embrace,
Mercy.
Tag: Eyes
In Your Eyes
In the unfathomable depth
of your eyes,
Is written my death;
As surely the setting sun
Dips its toes in the ocean,
So shall I.
Oh, how I gaze,
Gingerly I step,
Cold hand of death,
Comes up and embrace,
Who knew death
Would be so sweet,
Such pleasure in
Losing oneself.
Slowly everything darkens,
A soft light glows,
Music rises to a crescendo,
And rupture.
Tranquility,
As I lie,
My eyes shut,
So I died.
Who is singing?
Rejoice,
Surely as the sun will rise,
So shall you.
What blasphemy!
From peace
To seeking again?
Rebirth a myth.
I lie at peace,
Eyes closed,
And from those
unending depths,
You opened
The universe to me.
What mysteries
Those eyes held?
In search of the Unknown
gaze fixed on the stars,
a heart lost to the roses,
mind roaming the
realms of the unknown,
I take flight.
the light has shone,
alas, long gone,
darkness all around,
all illusion,
I seek the unknown.
what the heart felt,
the mind perceived,
eyes seek in vain,
try to comprehend,
all encompassing unknown.
from subconscious
to consciousness,
I soar,
my senses feel,
merge into the unknown.
Naked
Slowly rising steam from the cups of
steaming coffee
camouflaged your apparition.
As your lilting voice spun
mystical stories,
My mind slowly disrobed you,
exploring all the nooks and crannies,
tracing every curve, rise and fall,
undulating hills and the flat valleys.
Try as I might to turn my eyes,
I could not avert the magic of your eyes,
and sat transfixed.
As Dr. Jekyll, my conscious mind, constantly chastised
Mr. Hyde, my sub-conscious,
I struggled to keep my focus.
Ashamed of myself, as the lascivious
voyeurism of unbridled libido
drove my mind to uncharted territories.
The warm sands of the beach
spreading the heat to our naked bodies, and
as we lie side by side,
I bared my mind to you,
and was mortified to see the hurt
on those turquoise eyes of your.
As you gently took my hand
and looked me in the eyes,
and put my hand on your bosom,
I could only see the unfathomable deapth
of the ocean to drown my lust,
and I died a little.
We walked hand in hand and entered the sea,
the water around us evaporated from
our body heat.
Lying there on the sands ,
with the canopy of star studded sky
as the roof, sea breeze encircling us, and
darkness of the night clothing us,
we slept on each other’s arms,
with the waves singing lullabies,
gently caressing our feet,
till dawn’s golden lights bathed our nakedness.
The steam no more rising from the
stone cold cups of coffee,
no apparition floated in the mist,
and then I saw the unfinished question
in your eyes.
Now that I bared my heart to you
in all its stark nakedness,
I can sincerely say,
I can not promise the earth and the moon,
neither can I promise a future unknown,
only this I can say with all honesty,
to give my everything, me,
flawed but with heart burnt by fire of hell
and turned to pure gold,
ready to take your hand and
walk to the edge of eternity and beyond
by your side ,
and ask nothing in return,
for this is not a deal.
And if that is not love, then I know not
what love is .
As you got up to take leave,
with a twinkling in your eyes
and smiled,
I could see the hint of a promise,
for which I can wait,
what’s a life time when eternity waits.
Then the apparition was gone.
As I took a sip of the cold coffee,
a divine warmth radiated through me.
I bared my soul and I feel
naked no more.
First Spring of Our Love
People say there is magic in spring
I do not believe in magic
But that first spring of our love
As our searching fingers
Sketched paintings invisible
On our skin
And our eyes met in silence
Unknown to any one of us
You and I
Became we
Ever since
Magic indeed
Darkness
A distant past under a star filled sky
Darkness of the new moon
Lighted dimly by the evening star
Proclaimed your love looking at my eyes
Told me you understand me
More than I understand myself
Gazed at your eyes silhouetted
Reflecting darkness of the sea Oh how I wanted to ask thee
What you understood about me
Seeking myself through the ages
It’s darkness only that I see Were you scared of what you saw
To share with me what you found
Now I search for the answer alone
Under new moon’s darkened glow
More than I understand myself
Gazed at your eyes silhouetted
Reflecting darkness of the sea Oh how I wanted to ask thee
What you understood about me
Seeking myself through the ages
It’s darkness only that I see Were you scared of what you saw
To share with me what you found
Now I search for the answer alone
Under new moon’s darkened glow

Emotion Reigns
Fingers itch
Lips quiver
Sky pouring
Heart overflowing
Keyboard silent
Speakers muted
Return call
Never comes
More nights
Wasted sleep
Choked throat
Aching heart
Tearing eyes
Pained souls
Ruined again
Emotion reigns
Venom
Don’t fill your hearts
With so much venom
That your own blood
Is poisoned
Don’t cover your eyes
With such tinted glasses
That you have only
Tainted vision
Don’t fill your brain
With thoughts of revenge
That you stop thinking
Uplifting thoughts
Don’t fill your mind
With filth and garbage
That you become oblivious
To truth
Open up your heart
Take off the shades
Clear your brain
Let the mind explore
Engage, not biased
Let truth and peace prevail
Expel the venom
Lest you destroy yourselves
Fleeting Muse
