You certainly remember,
our first date
when you scribbled a bird
on a rough piece of paper.

Come and see,
the bird has taken flight.

Gone again.

Even the ocean,
after last night's ferociousness
forgot the calm night,
that the moon promised.

The same moon, which with its borrowed light
Left without warning.

The cold shower that came
after last night
and left dew drops on the naked grass;
brought forth a need for
our bodies to come clashing together
like champagne glasses.

Brilliant were their voices.

I have placed these bricks around me
their foundation emerging from my words
Now trying
to dig, right through
two hearts, in one.

When you fall in love
your heart screams
and words just come
and poetry writes itself
oh, what fun.

Home smelt
like jasmine today or like those scented candles near the bedside table
Kept aside in ambition.
Or maybe it was just you.

This world,
I tell you
is unapologetic.
******* hell,
Even garlic isn't free.
