Looking back with new
eyes I see the painful truth
I could not before
Hindsight is always 20/20
 Mar 2018 Corvus
Underneath
I reached out.
I took a massive leap.
It might have paid off.
I’m not sure yet.
I asked a girl
Who I met a year ago
For less than an hour
If she remembered me.
And she did.
Me.
The ghost.
The psychopath of an absence.
Somehow, memorable.

I’m the guy
Who actively avoids people.
I’ll talk to them
But always at arms length
Or farther.
I’m the forgettable guy
Who sits back
And stays so quiet that I’m forgotten.
And that’s it.
And yet somehow, memorable.

I forget people
And they forget me.
I stay in the shadows.
I hate the spotlight.
I’ll even skip my bow.
But she remembered.
I don’t know how or why.
But there it was. Me -
Somehow, memorable.


I gape at YOU
with my mouth closed

I walk on a moon
without a space suit

I run bare feet
on the volcanic fire

I fly into your skies -
even without wings

Despite YOU eluding me
with your glances
I am drooling all my LOVE
like your Rasputin dog
YOU know I do not even
want to stop melting myself

My black and white eyes reflects
Only YOUR rainbows in them

The moment I feel YOU within me
My eyes pop out and gaze at your beauty

My rustic veins within roars torrentZ
Spirally like a tornado / twister

My Blood pressure breaks
All the BP monitor limits

Ah... those eyes -
YOU are blessed with

Ah... What a face -
The All-Mighty has crafted

Oh.. My GOD
YOUR physical beauty -

Peacocks are ashamed to come out
And walk in front of you
When you are around

Knowing your **** wit and wisdom
I search for Einstein and Socrates
Who may be hiding under your skin

How stunning YOU are in totality
That is what works like a MAGICAL spell
On my poor love-lack-skeletal being

Through your existence
NATURE - All Mighty orchestrating
The biggest festival of LOVE ever seen

Did anyone tell you that
YOU are Leonardo's
Sculpture of Venus and
Painting of Mona Lisa

YOU feel so gentle,
Tender and soft in touch

YOU grace this earth to demystify
The concept of REAL TRUE
Natural earthy BEAUTY

Who will not adorn YOU
As an apple of their eyes..

No wonder Adam - EVE
Ate an apple of LOVE...

Mirroring -
Let I be your Adam
Let me be your Eve

Take away everything of mine
But keep me within
YOUR protective vault
Locker of a SOUL



In Praise Of Your "BEAUTY"
- Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, Spiritual, Divine
