I feel the caress of my own fingers
on my own neck as I place my collar
and think pityingly
of the kind women I have known.
three blue trucks with discolored passenger doors
three huge steps to kissing under floorboards
three slighted moves to embracing under street lights
three backwards motions to remembering our small fights

four eleven two thousand
and twelve

placing you on those
three shelves
Lighting sparklers
in each other's eyes,
in a celebration of pretence
                             and deceit,
They drink fine sparkling wine,
dine, dance and ravel
make love again and again;
two insatiable serpents-
in perpetual heat,
spitting copious venom,
till it becomes evident,
that not a drop, is left.
                                       As dawn break out,
                                        post-****** hatred reigns,
                                         they, start to fight each other,
                                        without slightest hesitation,
                                        where does love figure in this life of zombies?
                                        empty wine bottles come handy,
                                       feeling thankful to the orgiastic nights,
                                       they make good  use of all that.
and,
when the heat dies down,
they kiss and make up,
sob, hug and apologize, two nincompoops,
like programmed emotion machines,
And how awful!
they start the next round with gusto,
all over again!
The morning sun, peeping in,
would find it hard to believe,
this utterly shameful game,
going on day in and day out.

I pushed so hard to get an answer
the truth was that

nothing you could say would make me free
nothing you could say would change a thing.
Nothing you could say would make it alright

that I wanted you when you didn't want me.
She said she collects pieces of sky,
cuts holes out of it with silver scissors,
bits of heaven she calls them.
Every day a bevy of birds flies rings
around her fingers, my chorus of wives,
she calls them. Every day she reads poetry
from dusty books she borrows from the library,
sitting in the park, she smiles at passing strangers,
yet can not seem to shake her own sad feelings.
She said that night reminds her of a cool hand
placed gently across her fevered brow, said
she likes to fall asleep beneath the stars,
that their streaks of light make her believe
that she too is going somewhere. Infinity,
she whispers as she closes her eyes,
descending into thin air, where no arms
outstretch to catch her.
I don’t need tears,  I don’t need Words  i just want you next to me with a silent goodbye feeling  and  your breathing next to mine.
You’re Leaving, that’s the end, what would never come today is the day.
It will be forever over, our mistakes, our life together, our love …is going away and we can’t do anything but stare.
There’s nothing we can do but we will always be the one in each other hearts.
It hurts, it lasts, it’s lost and magic, all at the same time…
I love you, I hate you, I waited  for you , I run away from you, but still it’s all for you.
I’m shaking, I try to breathe but don’t feel air in my lungs when you’re so close.
Time won’t be enough to let you go and that’s all I can think about; Memories won’t fade away they never do.
You don’t care about me anymore I can feel it .you won’t be back and I might never see you again.. .Those are our broken moons.
Let go…That’s what I have to do.
Being your slave, what should I do but tend
Upon the hours and times of your desire?
I have no precious time at all to spend,
Nor services to do, till you require.
Nor dare I chide the world-without-end hour,
Whilst I, my sovereign, watch the clock for you,
Nor think the bitterness of absence sour
When you have bid your servant once adieu.
Nor dare I question with my jealous thought
Where you may be, or your affairs suppose,
But, like a sad slave, stay and think of naught
Save where you are, how happy you make those.
    So true a fool is love that in your will,
    Though you do any thing, he thinks no ill.
