lionness

you walk
the earth
so gracefully
it is almost
as if you are
an extension
of it.

every move
you make is
so rythmic.
every step,
every breath,
every heartbeat.

you know
how to entice
the mind and
the body,
like an art
you have down
to a science,
like a means
of survival.

you slip on
heels and stand
tall, shoulders back,
chin up, like a soldier,

you wear
winged eyeliner
like war paint.

you exist
in complete
fearlessness.

you know
yourself as
an unstoppable
force.

you know
that you own
the world when
you dance.
I wanna have lunch with Poe,
at Burger King,

because I'm sure he would appreciate how ghoulish that King in their commercial is

I don't want him to recite verse
while we fill our medium cups with corn syrup nectar--a giant leap
down from laudanum

I do want to ask about the Cask of Amontillado and being walled in slowly, for eternity

for to me that is creepier than all the crimson cream in the Masque of the Red Death

I want to know if he likes the fries--will he dare to dip them in scarlet paste we call catsup

mostly I want to know if he remembers the alley where he was found,

not yet a legend, consumed by consumption and delirium in equal measure

and if there were rodents privileged to hear his last whispered words--or even a gasp

I am buying, Ed, so grab that Whopper with both bony paws and tell me terrible tales, evermore
I love
that you
love

The things
that you
love

Even if I don't

Could you do the same for me?

If yes

What great lovers
we
could
be....

how better
to spend the day while
she sleeps peacefully
but listening to music

the Beatles
in particularly.
Catching a glimpse
occasionally

of her beautiful
peacefulness
wondering
does she dream of me

when I hear
Good Day Sunshine
I ache

to wake her up
.
imagine
how good it would feel to give up on society
no longer follow the bis rules and regulations the human race has demised
leave all the judgement and hate behind and retreat
to an island in the middle of the pacific
or the dead center of the amazon
just you, a loved one and a lifetimes worth of art supplies
youd no longer have to suffice in this demented world
where guilty rapists lies are believed and they are let free to walk the streets
where the police that are quote unquote there to protect us
**** the innocent and abuse materialistic a badge now gives them
a world where every country is divided by color and ruled by one person that is given so much power
this leaves me speechless as why one man can have so much influence even though he is no better than the rest of us
im getting carried away in modern days many flaws
anyway its a nice thought
a peaceful life ha
a thought thats all itll ever be

Seema
Hand me a cup
Hand me a spoon
Let's drink coffee
While watching the moon

Your hands touching mine
As the eyes light up the desire
Your skin deliciously shine
You've just set me on fire

The cup stood still
So did the spoon
The coffee wasn't made
While the dark clouds hid the moon

You passionately kissed my lips
Almost losing myself to you
Your hands grabbed my hips
That's when my eyes opened, searching for you...

danny
She sees me, after I see her,
Aquatic blur.
Graceful, adept,
Hair, water swept.

Distorted features,
Adorned with creatures.
Observing my boat,
Master of float.

Moon beams dash,
Without a splash,
By my side
For one more tide
A poem about a mermaid

Subrat
The moment when you came closer,
And brought your lips near to mine,
When your breath makes me feel warm,
Melts my heart and intoxicates me like wine.
That feeling,
indescribable,
so fragile.
Something you make me taste,
Becomes my flavour favorite.
But, never again did I taste your lips,
Or see that beautiful face.
The memories we made are still present in my mind,
Haunting my heart like a sweet maligned.
last night
I dreamt
that I got into
a fistfight
with Copernicus
because
he wouldn't agree
with me that
the universe seems
to revolve around
your smile
