an unwanted portrait
erupt into life
painting a picture
our fervent
nirvana was
disturbed
*
who knows
the sheltered
emotions
behind the
brush
of a
painter
***
still
the rainbow
promises
tomorrow

african rhythm
beat of my heart
I once was part
of her starlit night
the crescent moon
shining so bright
foreign language
whispering softly
my naked desires
in blazing fires
forever merging
on fertile ground
in true tradition
distant voices
lustrous glint
infinite love
ETERNALLY
part of me

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

clenching this dream
as I stagger towards
the maze of your fervor
and silence grow pregnant
where I long for your love
to turn my evanescent soul
and sculpture my heart
a dream within a dream
as our memories fade
where passion is the fire
♥
my silent heart within
as I write

I hear noise
all around me
it echo’s in this space
I have no part in it
the wind rustling
through the leaves
of trees
I sit alone
in silent dialogue
with my thoughts
quiet beating
of my heart
peace rests snugly
in the womb of dusk
if I could
I would
capture it
right now…
here…
in this moment
*
and so goes
the distant memory
into the wind…

Your silence in a song…

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

ripples of my musings
survey of my soul
as ripples fade away
slowly breaking the ice
I hear the music play
together we composed
harmonies of our souls
capturing the moment
of spirit, hope and words
sharing common ground
of joy and happiness
in visions of my reflection
I hear you whisper
*
you’re
beautiful

slithers of touch
softly caressing
emotions of her soul
this fragile canvas
breathless with
memories of yesterday
today…tomorrow
these wounds
masking sacred petals
from her élan vital
matter no more
by the woe’s from
shrines buried deep
as the edge of love’s pivot
submerges her thoughts
in euphoric visions
of edacious desires

even just
for a
night

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
