You
are somewhere close
yet dislocated, sheltered
in your centered peace
adrift beside all certainty.

We
turn as apron-ed satellites
in matinee of gentle speak,
our mundane, London-Saturday
the soundscape to your stasis.

Surrendered
to this bastion  of valiant
machinery. Your pillars
in this paradise of waiting.
St Thomas's ICU April - there was still hope and belief.

Was told
they wheeled
your bed toward
the window for
your passing- that
evening when the
circled closed an
end on your beginning.
Now, we shall have no more
of all this talk of getting older

Return to something beautiful
to cure the fear of flying.

Saturated by Ignorance.
Devastated by Rudeness.
Absolutely Broken by Distrust.  
Angered by your Mocking.
Yet I go back and forth.
Smile Back with my Silence.
Hoping that one day.
All this will change.

My silence does not mean I cannot argue
Its only that this  Relationship I value.

I was the soul,
He was the mate,
When our ship sailed,
High or low he was there,
Always at the helm,
To guide us through rough waters.

I was the four walls,
He was the strong doors, windows and roof,
He made sure no thief entered our house,
To steal our love,happiness and peace.

I was the tree,
He was the roots,
He held me through all weather,
Strong and deep in the soil.
We bore fruits ( children),
They ripened taken by others,
Scattered,
They bore new plants.

He and I,
I and he,
We got separated,
He got buried deep underground,
I, a walking stick,
Aged but still strong,
Alone but not lonely,
A will to live with happiness.
My husband was always there for me.

she gave me her nudes
she was bare
and naked
and so out
and open
and i willingly
accepted it
because it wasnt the nudes
that showed her body
the physical aspects
that made her beautiful
it was the words
she didnt choose
and the spontaneity
that left her
either from her lips
or her fingers
or ink

she was as bare
as her nudes
and i accepted
her for her.

I'm going to cover your heart in bubble wrap,
shout to the universe to never dare to drop it again,
and carry it in my arms
so tight to my chest
that your heart may just merge into one with mine
and we can just beat together.
we'll share a duvet of bubble wrap
and I'll let you pull the whole thing
so it covers you,
and I'll still be warm
from the closeness of our
intertwining arteries
and the silkiest blood we pass between them.
I'll be lathered in your crimson fuel
and call it the race of our love.
I don't think you need to be shielded,
and I know you don't need me to shield you,
but just one layer of bubble wrap
won't hurt anyone,
right?
I can't protect you like YOU can protect you

I was walking leisurely
one fine day
I found a shortcut
on the way
but it wasn't to be
I landed up under a tree
grazed my arm
and my knee
The root of the tree
I didn't see

A young lass lifted me
up from the grass
She was half my age
so I didn't mind
the fall
Shaking, she took me
home for tea
All because of the root
that I couldn't see


In our every breathe
In our every heart beat
In our every tear drop
We hold a poetry of LOVE
For YOU and for me -
My BELOVEDz, my LOVERz...

How much we want to evade LOVE
How much we try not to let LOVE touch us
How much we tread cautiously on path of life

But LOVE found a way into our heart
Our SOUL become ONE soul with time...

We imprison our pure innocence
Within the busy-ness of our life & work
Within the illusion & delusion of living

Yet, This divine illness and disease of LOVE
That we are infected by meeting each other
Has made the whole world a better place to live

That time everyone will remember the vows
Taken by all LOVERz and BELOVEDz over time...

The birds sings wings in flight
The butterfly buzz the colorful flowers
The sun shines through dusk-dawn lights
The moon lights the star-lit dark nights
The dark clouds brings awaited rains
The same melodious music is played
The same romantic poems are created
The passionate LOVE longings are shared
By the despair of two LOVE SOULS

Let us tell the world now that
We too are the same born-again
Reincarnated True LOVERz

In our every breathe
In our every heart beat
In our every tear drop
We hold a poetry of LOVE
For YOU and for me -
My BELOVEDz, my LOVERz...
