in roaming streams
of death’s journey
so much
more poignant
to lose a beloved
to the soundless
laugh of love
the scent of
your absence
with ravenous
desires
on mental shores
of solitude
*
my pain wears
the mask
of a virgin

your silence
in a song lingers
teasing my senses
with ravenous allure
*
where I move you
to the hidden corners
of my thoughts
trying to hide you
between the pages
of my aching heart
in which I daily muse
my spirit
moving back and forth
to the tired body
of a crucified cosmos
the endless quest
trying to avoid
or is it an illusion
your picture not fading
in vain, I remain
***
this wheel of hope
keeps teasing
while
your silent song
still lingers

soaring
across the sky
on wings of
a nightingale
free like the
wind in the
winter sky
painting
our love
in a picture of
a thousand stars
the milky way
in Nirvana
is quivering
just for you
the orb of night
came by to
say goodnight
you are in the air
infinitely
free as the wind
***
you give me
wings to
fly

shadows
in
black and white
bleeding
reflection
on paper
where
naked words
quietly hides
my soul
planted in
orbit on
a balcony
of cloud
eternal
emotions
like rivers
flows
devouring
my shadow
like a gem
in the sky
time melts
where
memories
recede
lightning
shatters
the darkness
as the crescent
moon lights
my soul

lamina
crescent
fading away
rush of
emotions
becoming
undone
contour in
silence
reflecting
her tears
frozen in floe
as dusk
finds it’s
fervor
keeping
allure
bleeding
into
the night
as she gently
rephrase
her memoir
of love
painting all
the stars
she took
and in
the eyes
of truth
chasing
utopia
***
she’ll find
what is
near

standing
at the edge
of my muse
adrift in
oceans of tide
lost in pain
where I
find memories
left behind
as I walk
through the
maze in
reflection
of stolen time
where
melange
of illusion
scatters
the mind
in dreams
beguiling
the truth
like echoes
of answers
erased
take me
to that
secret place
through the
darkness
as I still
go on
beneath
silence
and the tears
I weep
*
only time

reflections
linger at
the droplets
of my wild
and stormy soul
lost in
the labyrinth
of life
guarding the
future
from my sight
beneath the
naked truth
lies a
broken heart
where wishes
lay weeping
upon foe
of jilted dreams
unmask my truth
no veiled agenda
no covert pain
until the storm
stills beneath
my sheath
come play
my clavier
note for note
unraveling
my fervor
until
zephyr quench
the burn of
fear

Impressions of you

silence
as mist drips
in strands
under her shaky
fingertips
drawn on the canvas
of their love
with flaming azure
from her veins
violent red passion
from her heart
in fragile lacuna
between breath
and muse
just listen
***
accept
***
as she bleeds
into the night
with only
impressions
of him

a
jar
of silent words
nestled
at my heart
into my fragile
nocturnes
holding me
in their arms
*
time melts love
where memories
rise
wrapped
in slippery time
**
sketches
we compose
become erased
no right to bleed
as I write
your name
in the sand
***
we
simply
proceed…

shadows
on the wall
solemn darkness
constantly
following
broken only
by screams
of orange
parodies
of naked
truth
behind
painted frowns
as stillness
deepens to
black
every rhythm
playing fate
of its
somber time
