1 - One kiss on your forehead to say I care; 2 - Two pecks on your cheeks for the joy that we share; 3 - Three simple words to let you know I love you; 4 - Four hands intertwined when I’m wrapped up in you; 5 - Five gentle whispers into the night to flatter you before your sleep each night; 6 - Six stolen glances that set my heart alight; 7 - Seven days a week I wish you were near; 8 - Eight silent prayers to the gods to keep you safe for me; 9 - Nine dreams of us embracing under light of the stars of the clear sky; 10 - Ten fingers run across your body to a perfect tune like the guitar; 11 - Eleven promises I vow to keep true; 12 - Twelve lifetimes of loving you still would not be enough...

A Dozen Roses
Hello, My dear fair one, I have not spoken those three words to you in a while now They linger at my lips, yet I don’t know how. I want to reignite our quenching fire, That once burned in our hearts with warmth and fierce desire. The lust. The trust. Oh, what we have lost. Whisper into my ear your darkest desires. Place your hand upon the back of my head And soothe all my silent pains. Tell me all will be okay And I will swear to you, all will be the same forever. Joined in you, Our union renewed Show me how deeply you still need me, So I may remember why it is that; I love you.

Long kiss goodnight
With time, all wounds heal, and lesser the pain we feel The bleeding heart stops, but not to beat, yet! We live on; and we live long after… Some of us with only the scarred hearts reminding us of the past Never to forget the memories of you, until the last breath Only then, when time is called and the rest of the body gets cold Only then, may we forget We were two innocent beautiful souls Unknowingly destined to fall in love Fate would not have it An abomination, Nature would not have us Rejected were the wishes of our hearts Prohibited were the passions within us, Forbidden like the apple of Eden, and Our sin denied us a moment in heaven We are sown from the same fabric. You and i Standing together arm in arm yet worlds apart Our minds connected by invincible wire You dream of I, and I of you You are a beautiful sight I can never forget I carry the memory of you on me like a tattoo of a taboo Ashamed I cover my pride Your image imprint inside my eyelids, Yes I do, it’s hard to think But I see you every time I blink

“The Forbidden Fruit”
I FEEL FOR YOU, MY DEAR ONE YOUR INNOCENCE ROBBED, IN BROAD DAY LIGHT YOU GROW WEARY FROM ALL OF THE ACHES OF THIS LIFE YOU HAVE LONGED MANY DAYS FOR PEACE AND YET MANY NIGHTS FALL WITHOUT QUENCHING ONLY VAMPIRES LIVE HERE, THEY SMELL YOUR FEAR AND CRAVE YOUR BLOOD, THEN, THEY ALL TAKE BITS. YOU HURT FROM ALL THE PAINS OF YESTERDAY, I KNOW THE EYES SORE FROM THE CRYING OF THE NIGHT BEFORE YOU BLEED STILL FROM THE CARNAGE OF THOSE YOU LOVED BEFORE HEARTLESS THEY DUG INTO THE FLESH AND TORE THEIR WAY TO POOR YOU AND WITH THEIR BARE HANDS, THEY CHOCKED THE LIFE FROM YOUR SOUL. NO PLACE OF REFUGE AS LONG AS WE ARE ALIVE, YOU AND I So IF IT PLEASE YOU, LET’S WALK TOGETHER TOWARDS THIS EDGE RESOLVED TO TAKE THIS LEAP IN FAITH I WONDER IF WE SHALL FIND PEACE WAITING IN THE AFTER LIFE MAYBE THERE, LOVE ALSO AWAITS OR IS IT JUST THE FURY OF THE GODS, AND THE SCOTCHING HEAT OF HELL. ALAS, NO SOLACE FOR YOU MY BROKEN HEART ...

The Secret
Ripples journey for miles and miles on to the beach, to die The trails and triumphs of their journey will never be told It is finished, as soon as they land, so does their tale A rare sighting for me, so exciting to be with, there at the end You can hear the tired yet soothing sound as each one lands Never to flow, or glide the sea again           It disappears further into the clouds and more beyond the edge out of my sight The sun sets, just as beautiful as its counterpart does With it, goes hope of all that is good, as light it no longer illuminates The darkness brings its demons, thank God for the stars that guide us We remain resolute in faith waiting for another sunrise A briefly stunt with two beautiful ends while it lasts I wonder if it has, the same fight as the one tomorrow will see   The wind decides whether to be a breeze or a storm The sun’s rise is gradual, yet the darkness falls fast What is clear to sight reduces each minute For the more I know, the lesser I understand What I think I see, could be my memory telling me what was Reality is relative   Such is our story if we lead an ordinary life To have existed; To have endured; To have travelled; But not to have excelled Rushing towards our end wishing we dominated For we could have been documented, maybe…

A Beautiful End
The hole enlarges each time the heart breaks So deepens the emptiness with it Deserted lands dried with no form It is as if the soul has long left Seeking its rightful place in the afterlife Searching for where to belong Unlike my body which is already doomed from inception No matter its journey, its path ends in distraction Death will be the end None can escape the ordained fate I now question my knowledge Because my heart longs for all that I know to be wrong How can all this be sin when it feels so right? My body craves the lustful passions of the mind Yearning to take bite of that forbidden fruit My hands stretching only towards that which is sinful Thirsting for the evil wine I wish to dine and feast on all this beauty in my sight My eyes see only that which tempts Every confession is the genesis to the next one No sooner as I am whole, do I sin again Often I ask why it is I feel at home in this folly world This condemned place, home to righteous men. Why is it that its strangeness excites me this way? And its darkness attractive to me In the depth of silence i hear her voice in the winds calling out to me In the loudest of noises, I can hear her celebrating with me And in the morning when I can see her beauty, I appreciate each day I wake to see it Enchanting goddess of love, bound with this righteous of men? Perfectly curved edge to edge, each curve more enticing, more arousing than the last Ever teasing pleasures, she presents Never allowing me a chance to get used to the warmth of her embrace In that moment, all is good, the yin and the yang are all coloured white, all is right In harmony we move back and forth in a circle Moreover, I start forgetting the pain that this life come with Surely, this love is a curse

This Blessing Is a Curse

I reminiscence our starting out, like blossomed flowers on a spring morning, We were young and youthful then; everything about us was exciting, Loud and cheerful, bright and colourful, we were always smiling, Confined and restricted, and soon we were not breathing; The fire of love had quenched, the desire and lust was lost, and we both started dying; It is like we are falling off a cliff, but steadily we are floating, Defying the inevitable end each day, we keep on surviving, The sadness slowly grows to hate, the seed we have been sowing. We can feel it changing, Instead, we remain resolute and say nothing; Feelings of love and hate, we keep covering; Distances form from the pains that we harbour, it will not be long before we start drifting, Further apart with every unspoken word, as these unexpressed emotions keep on piling, Deep down inside, we both are hurting, Hearts torn into, and the sores do not stop bleeding, All from the lies we tell each other, to keep our dream living. Bound together in chains of our own past, we kept on moving, Slaves to our desires, wanting to take and not bothered with giving, Lustful in our ways, we keep on craving, Selfish in our own light, we keep receiving and never saving; We always want more, until the source starts dying, Then we move on, not even a glance behind we spare, or a brief moment for grieving, It is the vicious cycle of life, and we keep on killing; Cold hearted, warm-blooded, the combination is chilling.

Departing Hearts
Constantly fighting with my innerself, begging my mind to forget, this my heart is weak for what it yeans,  lord knows no good can come off this. That swèet smell of you; The aroma always daring me to get closer; And you, such a devil you are, you deny me not. A stare into your eyes urging me on, and you keep drawing closer to me, I feel your body heat entering inside of me. I feel you possessing me, it’s crazy I know… That vanilla taste in you, memories reminding me to want to bit your lower lip, just to see your eyes bubble out in a fright of me, routine way i move my finger on your arm, magic trick, always seems to work. You always saw my next move, it’s like you knew my every intention, and I recall your every reaction It was all too easy, my heart paced as i made my move, but you, so calm and collected, expecting my every approach, meeting my kiss half way each time, so perfect we could rhyme. I was thinking am playing, but maybe there, I was the one being played So I just want to forget, but... My face fails to ignore the bliss that your memory brings, I smile and it’s all because of you. Frequent laughter most times in silence, from memories of then, now. I cannot get used to this, a mad man in the eyes of many, I am definitely insane, but how? I won’t lie, I never saw this…never even hoped for it, my wishes never got this far And I could never have a dream this wild, not in any day dream or romantic thought in all those lonely nights, all loving with no fights? We walk too close to the edge you and me, I love the fear of falling, it’s so arousing Maybe the only time I feel alive, being alive is excruciating, but for sanity I will walk away I go for only a short while, you know very well that I am addicted, and i will be coming back for more Moving towards an end is so stimulating, it’s like walking to your death, seeing your body transforming into a godly being, all in your conscious, priceless! What most fear we embrace, What most hear from whispers as taboo on dark corners, we enjoy in our lustful ways This cannot be love, it’s too real that it is surreal. I am now suffering from these pleasures that you bestow on yours truly, Man was never made to love this strong, I tremble from the touch of your finger, I reach out to your departing shadow, I can feel the warmth of your perk in my memory, and i hear your voice wake me from my dreams. Impossible but true, we have been served a dish for two…
