I trace myself
On your exposed wounds
And know, my touch
Does not make you cringe;
Our scars fit
Like jigsaw puzzles.

In The Depth Of Your Eyes
Drench me in the silent
Depth of your eyes,
Pull me close, envelop me
In your white lies,
I care not if I am as beautiful
As you claim, nor surmise
That you speak the truth
In sultry disguise;
Just take me along –
Let each sunrise
Begin bright and burning
In the afterglow of a paradise
Found in each other’s arms,
Get lost in the spiral highs
Of desire twirling out of reach
As smoky screens of madness arise
And blankets of passion
Engulf my trembling sighs;
My love, let me live an eternity
In the depth of your eyes..
Elixir
How is it that the more I drink
Of you
The thirstier I get?!!
💕
Embrace
Two souls meet
In a wet embrace;
Your lips on mine.
Siron
I had a chance encounter
With a word today.
A name, an acquaintance of old,
Siron.
Is it C-ron or CY-ron?
In all those years when I frequented the joint,
I never cared for how it sounded in my head,
But now I do.
S-I-R-O-N was all it was,
Bright painted letters
Above the single dingy room,
With cheap chairs
And dusty corners
That promised milkshakes and ice creams
At rates we could afford;
And so it was
That a shoddy little place,
Grew into a horde of memories –
Haven for hot days,
Birthday treats,
Risque solitude
And covert first dates;
Sweet days tasting of
Thick mango shakes in summer
Choco deluxe in autumn
With cutlets and rolls
And watered down sauce;
.
I had a chance encounter
With five letters today
And together they spelt out
Mangoes,
Summer evenings,
Friendship
And love.
What You Feel Like
You feel like my grey pajamas.
Old, worn
With the memory of many a day
Curled up in comfort;
You feel like warmth
On winter nights.
You feel like the sea breeze
That traverses long miles
To cool my brow
Under the sweltering sun;
You are the salty tinge
That rests on my lips.
You feel like the mighty mountains
That watch over me
From a distance,
And yet I need only turn
To know it’s there;
The misty hills
On my bare landscape.
You feel like dog-eared pages,
Like musty souvenirs,
Like inky letters on scrapbooks,
Like the lyrics rolling off my tongue,
Like ancient dreams,
Re-runs of childhood whims,
Like the smell of fresh rain
And coffee and the earth;
Yes,
You feel like home.

The Shore I Seek
You claim to love the sea
And yet fail to see the restless waves
Of turmoil
That toss my heart;
I grope at the shore,
Again and again,
For a fast hold
But am cast away by insecurities
While need draws me close
Fear drives me away,
And forever I crash and recede..
Why can’t you see
All I want
Is to know calm and clarity,
Know a love that does not drain me
Of all I am..
Why can’t you see
Sweetheart
That the shore I seek
Is you?
Rabid
Words froth at the mouth
Reeking
Of rabid love.
Lost Ashore
The waves that wash at your feet
Are the same that wet mine
Yet here we stand, a sea apart,
Chasms of thoughts and time;
The flesh that once tingled
As you cupped and caressed
Retains imprints of your touch
Brandings of love professed
The same breeze that brushes your face
Searches through my locks of hair
For secrets left by your breath
Sweet whispers of desire
I search within you for laughter
The wanton mirth of old
Your lips try, your eyes lie
As words fall dead and cold
The sun that warms your skin
Is the same that scalds mine
The same earth lies beneath our soles
The restless sands of time
Maybe some day we’ll set sail
Leave the shore of our memories
And reach each other among the waves
In the trembling turn of the seas.
Hopeless
Where sunshine fails to fall
A ray of hope
Is but a poor joke;
Dark magic and dope
Twisted malevolence
A dreamy dollop
Of suffering with sprinkles
And a cherry in top
Served on a platter
So we’d cope
And endure long enough
For our hearts to gallop
To an impossible finish
By fate’s stop clock
Bleeding and beating
Drained and choked
Unsure and unclear
Till faith runs amok
Insanity’s accomplice;
But a poor joke
It is to play on
Extending a ray of hope
Where sunshine fails to fall.
