If time had stopped, 
Where you stood and waved -
A hint of a smile that couldn't be erased, 
And we forgave each other.
Like, old friends reuniting... 
Old stories to tell and old feelings long gone.

You knew while I couldn't figure it out,
As a bystander I heard the news.
I had treated life like a dream,
And you were a form of reality as you stepped right in.
You taught me about the ...

Love is life 

Life is love

Emotional food feeds this starving soul

Life is love

Love is life

How long will we have to try to get it right?

I miss you ...

I can't say your name 

I think you forgot me

Oh well it's all the same

love unrequited, feelings unknown

Another piece still missing

Another dream dies alone

I thought I'd write one for you today,

A sweet poem, the sweetest I'd say.

As pure as as the virgin, As true as the tale.

As beautiful as you look to me, Everyday and every night.

Where did I find you ? I may never know and I may might.

I'd do it for you love, I'd do it for your sweet kisses, your little whispers in my ear,

Your breath on my neck and hand rumbling ...

Kiss me and go on
Kiss me until we can't stop ourselves
Kiss me as if nothing else matters
Kiss me til we just can't breathe
Kiss me as if forever you must leave
Kiss me without stopping and keep going on
Kiss me so deeply that dark becomes dawn
Kiss me so sweetly as only you can
Please don't stop now
Please kiss me and go on

She
paints her lips with a false confidence,
smacks them together
and sits
and waits.
Her apprehension perches beside her
on the lonely park bench.
She pushes it away,
an embarrassing parent
hugging her outside the school gates.
She stitches her words together
to avoid the inevitable stumble
over ragged letters
and shards of silence
and talk so small it could be shattered underfoot

White Hosts

Take a look through my eyes;
I want to paint a sketch of your face
with watercolors and defined strokes
as the great artist who dreams
of the expression of the sea and its serenity

A sketch of white Hosts that are not diluted by water, fire or time

Of your eyes, the light that turns on the romance of the moon;
of your hands, the most palpable sweetness filling everything;
...

Hey baby, listen to me;
I never thought you'd follow my advice
Though I'm sad, I don't regret,
Seeing the happiness in your eyes.

Hey baby, listen to me;
I know you know me too well,
I wear this façade just for you;
Though I know, I can never tell.

Hey baby, listen to me;
I changed myself just for you,
You know I care about you,
But she's attached to you, like glue.

Hey baby, lis...

No way honey!

That answer forever

Cause I can see your heart beating -

Beating out of your chest

When I undress,

Beating out of your chest when I am there.

No way honey,

Never never!

Cause you’re fresh out the holy water,

Fresh out Mary the mother.

Can’t corrupt the white light, the earths hope, world’s might!

Can’t let you give in, lose course, all in the name of ...

He's fire, passion, and embers burning bright.

My skin scorches whenever he walks by.

He's a heavenly delight, full of grace and light.

My heart soars whenever he glides by.

He's the shadows of the night, full of secrets and frights.

My heart thunders whenever he stalks by.

He's the air in my lungs that fill me with each needy breath.

He is my everything that sets my soul alig...

The candle will always stay lit

From where my love is everlasting

The fire gets hotter as my chills grow smaller

From where life continues I'm ready to go harder

For what I want and live for and love

Because I love you and nothing can change that

The love that is greater to where the everlasting love will be infinite

The joy and smiles you bring to my face

Brights up a whol...

i love you. and i want you in my life, forever and always.
and that's that.

but there are always dark masses that get in the way,
metal bars that prevent our love from seeping through,
and that's that.

we were separated by these bars and I reached out,
trying to kiss you through the small openings between the rungs
but like a slap across the face the cold metal parted us,
and that's th...

Baby, oh cry "red red" baby!

Red stare, double dare me, baby.

You look angry maybe,

that frown like a red cloak across your gaze

with your silver tongue

words like shining bullets

cutting me down with your mad arms.

What mad, bad arms you have!

What a mad, bad glare you have!

All the better to come swinging at me

with those meaty limbs like axes.

Oh, please baby I'...

Awake at an ungodly hour

Set to confront

Surreal and factual

Ways yet inept

There’s too much on plate

To be taken care of

Yeah!  I am at odds

But not for you

Drained in the drizzles

Of first rains of the season

Peacock blue kurta is drenched

For a reason

Not that those wounds are gone

Breezes be the beacon

Yeah! I am sun-dried

But dew-soaked w...

back in the time when the leaves crunched under our feet
we kissed and the world stood still,
but as leaves fall so did we

like the frigid air was our relationship,
glances and looks exchanged and meaner ones received
but as ice thaws so did we

as the flowers blossomed the looks weren't as harsh
back in the state of love and happiness we were
and as the sun gets hotter so did we

our...

All is peaceful and still and then, in the back of my mind

It begins.

It travels like a wave, slipping silent over my head and

Around my heart where it stays and waits.

But for what does it wait and for how long will its

Patience last before it leaves me for good?

In spite of these uncertainties and my fear of its leaving again,

I still welcome its coming.

I search

for your soul

in every passing stranger's face.

Knowing it is too late.

I dreamt

we met again

soothing all the pain between us.

The cruellest of dreams.

I crucify

time through mourning

yet it cannot hold back dawning,

of my emancipation.

How patiently, how perfectly
with such finesse, you plan our passion
in such exacting detail
you’ve prepared our romance 
five years in advance

Spreadsheet every kiss
added lingering looks to your to-do list
flow-charted clothes torn off
a map showing where to lose ourselves
in the moment

O, but it’s still love 
or a version of it…
O, it’s still love 
or your version of it…

Parking his mobile library
A short time before it was due

He provided Jean with a sneak preview
Often giving her extra lending time
Without ever punishing her with a fine

And afterwards 

as she adjusted her hair 
And he adjusted himself 

They placed fallen books 
back onto the shelf

And when his bus groaned and spluttered off
Jean knew that she wasn't his only stop.

Sometimes i wonder why we met now

why so young, with such a long road

stretched out before us 

How sad it makes me to know we wont last

I know he is my first love - I know it with every pulse

I know these short months

will set me flying

will open my eyes

I know i will never taste the world

without that flavour of love again 

His face

The smile - not even ...
