Vantage [View] Point
I make love with
the night, while
I ride through
the wind.
I own some
moments with
the stars, even
the infinite sky
but still-
my hands
remain
empty.
I touched
the lips of
a hell ablaze-
full of smitten
souls; through affront
seduction so
enticingly
sweet.
Should I
hide behind
the power of
a kiss made
to seal the
final curse; a gift
from the mallet’s
false freedom.
After which,
I run towards
the warmth and
comfort of laced,
black coffee
now
gone
cold.
And, while I ride
through the wind-
the night and I
make love.

Framed into
perfection
indeed, my secret
lover, and I.
Unmindful of
a trap
blindly adored
by hungry eyes.
A mocking illusion
to capture
foolish glances
unwittingly thrown.
And, the constant
echoes of
freedom
whispering
secretly.
Envied,
above and beyond
the comfort of lucid dreams.
I heard,
my secret lover
calling after
my soul.
I, and my
Secret lover own
moments born from
glorious feasts
adorned with
symphony’s breath.
discreetly
pursued by obsession.
Yet still, I
never learn
how to dance with
My secret lover.

I came
to you for
a dance,
but-
Your eyes held
me, not long
before you
breathed
fire-
so intense, that
consumed me-
whole.
Yes, you caught
me,
naked-
exposed like
a ghost, hiding
behind clouds of
illuminated
fallacies.
Sweet torments,
designed to hamper
the light of
truth
faded,
when reality came-
disguised as
silhouette.

You Sent Me

You sent
Me
flowers, and
More.
Rustles of
sheer softness,
like a touch of
velvet’s kiss
yet, such softness
savagely cut
the veins and buds of
my soul.
Drippings of
silken scents
from the wild -
fragrances
desired
by hungry senses
yet, too far
to touch.
I’ve known
allure and grace
intimately, like
mistflowers, confined
within fragile circles-
a fortress; the grave of
infinity, and
my efflorescence.
Indeed, you’ve sent
flowers, and
more
to me.

I collided with
your shadow.
Beyond the power of
sight, is a force
I met – cloaked with
unseen
clarity,
that exists on
rhythms that moves
in parallel beats.
Instant gazes trapped
unknowingly, like sparks of
a kiss from
hurried glances
unleashed to
linger, like
passion that burns, charmed
by the unspoken.
I pleaded for
a glimse of the
future, framed like
an innocent
vision
destined
to capture the
shadow of your soul.
Yes, I collided with
your shadow, and
I fell.

Running

You and I met
on a lonesome
avenue-
running.
Ardently, I
joined the chase
offered by a
faceless
future-
to catch the
fleeting moment,
though I knew not why.
Along with other souls,
you kept on running
towards the
depths of
the present-
but you were blind,
consumed by
rhinestone’s light.
You and I kept on
running with nothing,
but empty
hands.
Alive, in a
nonexistent world-
unknown strangers
even to our own souls.
And now I met
you again, but
I run-
no more.

Tainted Senses

Stillness roars
to fill the barren
spaces, home of
the blind, unaware
souls where-
the signs
shamelessly glare
yet, remain unseen.
You’ve said
that you were
searching, turning
every cornerstone yet-
you failed to look at
these open arms waiting
for that longing glance
to come.
For nothing remained,
but tainted senses-
too tired to look beyond
the depths of enchanting
thoughts hidden-
where the unveiled future
waits for the sign of awakening.

Gentle Prints

though numb and tired
I’ve felt, slowly
tracing each
long,
forgotten
steps, the remains of
bygone gentle prints.
You traded
one breath for
a kiss, like
a gift-
stolen
from dusty
shelves where
lonely shadows reign.
And these shadows-
you’ve always wished
to breathe
with fire
though nothing,
but silhouettes exist-
a piece of you, but
not a reality.
Yet, smiles won’t cease
to light the fire inside
the empty
chambers
left open-
as the shadow’s heartbeats
escaped to fade as silence
finally reigns.

Dewdrops came
to heal, and
to wash away the
dust and specks
gathered like memories
left from
a dreary
summertime.
Your heart’s sigh, I heard
through the breeze, though
your voice
remained
mute.
Autumn came, and
I’ve seen reality
unveiled.
The rain took away
the shadows left,
like clouts of
cobwebs
hanging-
a backdrop inside
the chambers of
your mind.

Greatest Heights

Tonight,
like the other
nights, I came-
In bended knees, I
laid a wreath, an
offered surrender to
the power of
your eyes-
the depths
where my soul, and
my own reality resides.
You took me away
far and beyond
the greatest
heights
unknown,
even to the
sharpest of minds-
where my desire lies.
I’ll keep abreast to
match each
leading
steps,
though what I see ahead
are visions blurred-
the promised grandeur is,
but a passing silhouette.

Hi Euane, thank you
