My thought’s nature is so chain-free; though when
it comes to missing links of love [I’m so incomplete]
A love for you, locked by the links we’ve made; we are
slaves to each other, and I know it sounds shameless in its
message relayed; still from the sound of your voice, there’s
something in the air- with the pauses in between conversations;
All the invitation of the opportunity to kiss each other, to clear
out that awkward air

Before birth and afterwards, I seem passionate over your touch
as like a youth- waiting to take your hand and speak for us
whenever the ask if we’re in love. And in the soil, I’ve buried my heart,
still feelings of it are so light, that they all grow out with delight
Our laughter spreads across the land of a bedspread, and their little
giggles in between, are like daisies sticking out on the lawn
So, if we bury all our memories in the wrinkled sheets-
our beds are our graves; that could remember far better, with their
memory foam mattress [Darling, I will cover you]

Destined; your eyes are painted out as the map of life; as no night
convinces my tomorrow to look away from the destination you
inspire me to take- your love is a buried treasure, and my words
mark it with an X;- not as the many exes I once treasured in the
promise of a forever after [it was more of a pipe dream]

As it goes on, this art of falling in love; I’m only now getting
a grip of the bigger picture;- it’s larger and larger, swelling up
my eyes, to as always be blinded by love- the lovebug’s bite,
so smitten, but squished by childish designs; us as children
imagining our perfect kind of lives, when we used to play house
Packed away hopes in an imaginary bag; let a night open that
suitcase- to imagine ourselves living together until our ages
are much visible in our own hands

Those firm and beautiful kisses, get ruined over many soft decades;
as the trace of my fingertips, feels like cheap clay on your skin-
My warm regarded touch, fills your cheeks in chill of morning breeze
When you fail to see your reflection, once from the shyness of
your lashes eyes opening;- where you can only hear someone else’s
voice reading through the Song of Songs. Our time together, is all
destined to be gone- so let’s enjoy what we have now, for how
long it comes

Imposed by a scent of the back chatter,
behind the air of the hair tucked by your ear
once a soul that was merely an imposter
The intense pleasure continues on- waking up
to the sound of dawn; under the thinnest of clouds
thin as butter- as the sunlight spreads across
The edge of their world; as like two legs spread apart
with a promise of a night filled with wet love
Two lips are meeting in the yellow shivers, beneath
the huge gems of eyes, that hold out a jewelled pleasure

The two resting upon a bed made out of barley;
filled in intoxicating lines of brand-new sheets-
The smell of regret only shows as the rise of after cigarettes
The towers of greying tired eyes; numb under the tomb’s
excrete- the cold breathes of kissing with a cold heart,
lifts the fur of a lion’s haunches

***** buckled by the belt wrapped around one’s desire
at another attempt- it’s no stranger, then the grave on
the tongue of a perfectly dead conversation
And about then, he wonders how could he go back to
the past, once where they were just casual friends…

Let our memories be as gravestones;
we’d have traded in marriage certificates
for graduation certificates- place on top love and roses
Roses and tears, have gained the sweetest refrain
oh darling, forever entwined shall we always remain

Pleasingly chiselled marble slabs
every piece of our love story lettered in gold
Death makes us shrouded sleepers; beings barely
warmer than the essence of life and truest love
Love is to sacrifice self, with no intention of gain
the love ballet it is; dancing as heads of concrete bodies
I’ll lead ahead, the way into Heaven if I must go first,
as you always mattered more in the first place
Dead beneath all of our loved ones, still in an afterlife
we will live to fall in love again…

Authoritarian control; manipulated religion
masked in a subtle political ideology
Commonly those who don’t exalt or lift high
thy name- but are so good at tell an enchanting story
To store up their pockets with the
materials of your lonely pocket
10% of a dollar, is more 100% of what you owe
to receive a prophet word

Welcome to the modern world, with all these
mega corporations; oops,
I mistook them for megachurches

“Do not commit ****** sin,” still there’s the
modern churches more interested on body counts
I have horrific flashbacks of feeling claustrophobia
in the arousing curiosity of people being drawn
by an attractive conference poster
Places well establishment, to establish the
dangers of following the words of false prophets

a sky made of perfect diamonds
i cut my eyes trying to dream of being high
-so above in momentary bliss, that i forgot i
was actually afraid of heights
perhaps hovering over the bottom lost in my past;
knowing not all things have a time to last
lost in the past, yet, not stranded
i landed on the runaway of the lovers above me
chasing after that familiar phantom of love, to keep
me company

a lot of the times it’s an unattained aspiration
a cup of tea to spill the drink, that leaves a sweet
taste of one last kiss- listening, with the deaf ear
sacrificing everything, but in the end the tea party
of love, would never really invite this coffee head

There’s a hole in a heart; like a chasm yawning
its someone so tired of filling themselves up
on pleasures- a walking cane of illusions- guided
by life’s many misapprehensions

Delusions of a mind’s coy mistress, engulfing me
with distress; you refuse to die, even in my heart’s
relapsed silence
a fathomless ocean of solitude

The magnitude of which is me, being tired of
loving with no results- living in the livelihood
that certain people you care for will leave stains
in your recently organized house
Still let me move onto another place, like the old
blossom in the breeze
Even as that yawning chasm starts to squeeze;
I won’t feel it up with things not received from the prayers
on my tired knees
