had you seen what you were eating
you'd have not fed this to me
I'm convinced that what is breeding
stained the bed with apathy

love was twice what you'd expected
bought with coins of earth and stone
keep them hidden in a satchel
you have threaded on your own

back in bed where time elapses
slips between our bodies rift
I collect the sheets in boxes
pack them neatly like a gift

one day when you need the feeling
you will find it with your soul 
in the corner of the ceiling
I'll be guarding what you sold
what happens when you try to sell something you can't buy
The stillness of the morning.
Half of the world slumbers on, half of the world trudges into their lives
I sit, mug in hand, sweet aroma tickling my senses
And breathe. Breathe. Breathe.
We are always rushing. Never stopping.
No time to waste time.
Only for fifteen minutes,
Maybe half an hour.
But I breathe. Breathe. Breathe.
could easily outmatch the summer,
sizzling. scorching. scalding.
dew of sweat fresh each morning,
air pungent with flames each night.
our summer love could belong in novels,
the days full of sparkle and rapture,
the weeks gone into the heat of our embrace.
our summer love was gone
too quick.
tears new and stinging.
feeling nothing but your fingertips.
tasting nothing but the sour air.

our summer love...
i could write more. but no one.
no one.
no one.
will ever understand.
Butterfly caught in a fine web, fell in love with a beam of light,
only to make the reluctant dark night jealous,
streaming light couldn't even sense her presence,
*she was a recalcitrant dance, at once gorgeous and fierce,
A
cloud,
         urgently
                       descends,
                                      s  l  o  w  l  y
­                                                           *d    i    s    s    o    l    v    e    s.
in a soft quivering voice, her pain overflows,
caressing our woebegone hearts,
a pall of moisture spreads,
*she dissolves, now a searing tear drop
in the corner of my eye
I found peace,
on  water's ample *******,*
the river cascaded,
plethora of questions,
the fervent lover,
wanting to know more and more
though she knows me
body and soul, in and out,
from the days
I was small.
We became lovers
at the first sight,
tickling my ***'y secret places
she taught me, alphabets
of a woman, one by one
now I can read each,
a cryptic tome, full of
secret murmurs and symbols,
hieroglyphycs, Sanskrit,
all rich, obscure languages.
My river, the quintessential woman,
power of meandering serpent, immense
her hands supple,
fingers, mischievous,moving,
which make my mouth go dry,
with the pleasure that erupts in me.
Embracing her cool waters
I come alive,
even when my heart is on fire.
We have spoken to each other
long long hours,
spilled every secret, forbidden wish,
made sure depths of each is  filled with
the scent of other,
I found my peace on the bed of water,
where I  had spilled my seeds first, ecstatic
never forgotten that moment, ever.
on knutsford boulevard the doctor bird
sips nectar from the blossoms in the noise
of passing traffic and the tall absurd
motions of people yet the creature's poise
is magical unaltered by the place
or human action honest of its kind
but still as brutal does not steal its grace
restoring beauty in a time that's blind
to this reality there's one more cast
that memory had woken an older tale
of pain and loss from a forgotten past
where all the goods must come at end to fail
yet truth will flutter on a humming wing
asking the heart in spite of all to sing
Farewell, my stranger
I say hello again, everyday
In my thoughts
In my dreams
In my smile

Farewell, my lover
I ignore your danger, everyday
With your presence
Without your presence
With your evil

Farewell, my punisher
Obedience in my eyes, everyday
My shut eyes
My chapped lips
My torn dress

Farewell, my killer
Death in my heart, everyday
My frowns
My tears
My sobs

Hello, new Stranger
My love is yours, everyday
My heart
My joy
My life.
