i miss you

our love blooms

in a very special way

yet i miss you..

.

.

.

when I hug you

when I hug you

it feels like home

but the longing grows..

.

.

.

between us

between us is but a fence

climbing over

and I lose a little smile

.

between us is but a door

you, in one room waiting

I, in the other, tussling

.

between us is but one heart

running over

and I miss a little tug

.

between us is but little

you, who gave me love

she, whom I gave love

.

.

.

I crumbled

I crumbled in despair

by the weight

of his mighty hands

crushed

sieved

to be free from

impurities & bondage..

in my powdery lightness

as he would

he then immerses me

into his kindred spirit

kneading me back into clay

formed me

into a new vessel

baked to his will

before he gave me

to you..

.

.

.

we pledge

we pledge

to be more aware

of our own weaknesses,

to show more love & trust

when storms brew

and the patience

never to utter the ultimatum

no matter what..

.

.

.

where frangipanis bloom

where frangipanis bloom

that’s where you’d find me

wandering on its mossy grass

tripping on its roots..

.

where the branches weave

that’s where my tears nestle

love ribboned on its trunk

hearts etched on its bark..

.

where the river twirls

that’s where my sorrows sink

scattered leaves afloat

i decided to row upstream..

.

you know where i’d be

that’s where you’d find me

where frangipanis bloom

love ribboned on its trunk..

.

.

.

paper scribbles

dawn breaks  with  eyes  of  gloom

crumbs  fed  into a  bottomless pit

paper scribbles  carelessly tossed

wiping  tears with streams of  love

i am sorry, i truly am..

hurtful charades are unnecessary

.

.

.

poem of duet

As love slowly reveals itself

waters of spring hums in their ears

as sunlight glistens the cascades

crispy, pleasant, innerving

their palms met

and so the warmth was contagious

as love slowly engrosses them..

.

.

.

painted hallways

we  painted  the   hallways

with   colors   of   our   own

now it is brightly splashed

still   it   is   but   a   hallway..

.

.

.

fig leaf

such is us

no garments remained

except the fig leaf..

.

.

.

pulse

in   your   ocean   of    powdery   blue

I  dived   into  your   snowy  curvature

elements of  deep  halted  my  pulse

corals  subtly cringed in  tenderness

moments   engaged   in  everlasting..

.

.

.

red poppy

-we   glided  down   rainbows  end

colors   sifting   pass   our   fingers

as i was  kneeling down  the  pew

a  bloom  of  red  poppy  emerged

joyfully  i scurried to kiss  His feet..

.

.

.

quest

I quest

into your physical domain

unknowingly I sank in

deeper into your being

basking in your goodness

feeling refreshed

once again..

.

.

.

thighs

as I blink my curly lashes

in awe of your thighs

my breath quickens in pace

smooth, milky white

unending..

.

I longed to snuggle

over that entire length

and dream my next amorous dream

shapely, fragrant

spotless..

.

as when it moves

turbulence streams my desire

cheekiness overwhelms my decency

my fingers loses control

and the entire concerto changed..

.

I worshiped those thighs..

.

.

.

caged

I am caged

you are flying in mid air

despite this

you never left me

you are always here beside me

sharing your days with me

foregoing your winged freedom

.

I adored you..

.

from where I perched

I lidded my eyes

many a time

I tried to imagine myself as you

foregoing my winged freedom

accompanying the uncertain

I gaze in mid air..

.

I am thankful..

.

the day will come

when my eyes will slit open

the cage will vanish

uncertainties disintegrated

foregoing my winged freedom

I will be beside you

to stay with you

to live with you..

.

.

.

wedged

wedged in between us

are a thousand million words

wrongly expressed, distorted, assumed

I won’t stand behind all those

I will stay beside you..

.

.

.

folly

folly

poisons the heart

oppugns the mind

palisades the soul

here we are

struggling to find

our way out

from this mess..

.

.

.

head

you  are   the  head

I     am      the     tail

we   are     a     coin

it        is       difficult

to  make   it   stand

on        the       edge

that      joins       us..

.

.

.

tumbling

I tumbled into the pit

only to discover

fervents of spring

burrowed in your wishes..

.

.

.

spare me the pain

spare me the pain

hurt me no more

live out your dreams

surf with me through the clouds

.

for life moves forward

never tarries with yesterday

live out your hope

till one day we are no more..

.

.

.

all forgiven

all forgiven

love requited

hope trods on a bed of flowers

shoes repolished..

.

.

.

is the color i see

is the color I see the color you see?

when I see white, do you see white as well?

or was the white I see the black you see?

.

is the form I see the form you see?

when I see round, do you see round as well

or was the round I see the square you see?

.

is the light I see the light you see?

when I see light, do you see light as well?

or was the light I see the darkness you see?

.

I ponder our likeness

I ponder our similarity

I ponder our journey

distance divides..

.

.

.

a stone

a stone

no matter how small it is

will find its way

onto the ocean bed

.

a problem

no matter how big it is

should also sink-

never to resurface again

.

.

.

neglected but loved

as he balances himself

on the tightrope

whilst picking up

all the roses that

had been placed

before him

he ponders the worthiness

of his effort

synchronising his breath

a tingling sensation

had already consumed his mind

.

as pespiration

trickles down

his well-built back

he quietly reassures himself

over and over again

that this is

after all

his first love..

.

it is already

equally challenging

to walk those flimsy threads

but the stooping down

to collect each and every bloom

is a task quite unlike others

his body aches

after every pick..

.

except for the spotlights

that filled the void

and the cold air that freezes

his well toned limbs

he is alone

suspended and neglected

nevertheless

he continues..

.

against the drum roll

and the roaring cheers of

the spectators below

did he realize

that he is

at his feats end

he waves

and smiled at the crowd

balancing glory

with pain

and endurance..

.

.

.

grief

I grief

calamity

yet hung on

to hope

cos of you

.

I fumed

but was smittened

by your believe

in us

& patience

.

so yield to it

treasure it

help me

balance it

on the tightrope

of change

.

or I will

once again

grief

.

.

.

like a snail

like a snail

you retreated

back into your shell

you realize

that nature

are sometimes

incomprehensible

they hold no mercy

under the sweltering heat

when  provoked

in face of rain

or trampled upon

you withdrew

ever so subtly

because you love peace

you retreated

in the hope

that comfort & consolation

may come to you

you withdrew

without realising that

many a time

others like you

just get crushed..

.

.

.

your tears are beautiful

your tears are beautiful

stains impudent

to a bad day

.

your tears are beautiful

being misunderstood

losing your grip

.

today I see your tears

vulnerability exudes

longing shoved

.

tomorrow I see no tears

life beautifys

determination won

.

.

.

quiet desperation

calmly

we hover

through our days

in quiet desperation

.

yet

the wind

that echoes through the hillocks

blows of inherency

.

how long still

will we need

to wade through the bulrushes

on our own

.

before we are conjoined

before our friends

before our loved ones

before God

.

I cling

to that thought

I hunger

for that acceptance

.

yet

we still linger

through our nights

in quiet desperation

.

.

.

one song, one couple

one song

one couple

two styles

one tune

yet

both groove

in delight

who cares?

.

listen well

feel the beat

follow the rhythm

flood your soul

.

one song

one couple

two styles

who cares?

.

let’s toast!

.

.

.

realm runneth over

I guess

trust is but paper thin

if actions contrasts words

I cannot view trust

living in the many facets

of your thoughts

but I know

I have facets

that needed scrutiny

.

realm runneth over

I found myself

completely helpless..

.
