Transfixed, focused.
Consumed by what you see.
Wrapped and intoxicated with desire;
Overflowing from the unveiled tender light and perception of this essence.
Your vision turns and tunnels towards a surreal focal point
deriving from the sensations of your needs.
Hesitantly, you resurface and staggered thoughts prevail from the descending and deceivingly short tranquil haze.
Deserted, you marvel in the grey of what could be conceived if you served the now ever-present yearning flooding within.

consciousness
which are then
torn down
by still more
words

I won’t take a pique;
Won’t even try to speak.
But if by chance you’d ask me why,
I’ll say no word
And let this pen spill off my sword.
hear my voice
Greenery, O you beautiful thing, barely visible in the wake of early dawn.
Amidst the darkness,dew drops form across your petals.
Sometimes visible like crystals at my lawn.
I look through you, the ray has hit your window,
As I try to grasp the details you reflect like a mirror,
You perish upon my gentle touch,
And here I thought you would turn into gold.
Oh my, I sure am getting old.
Searching for answers within the dew drops of the early dawn,
Knowing everyone just started to yawn,
And lift their sleepy heads,
Here I am standing,wondering where do these dew drops lead to.
Dew drops,you are like ripples of tiny bubbles,
But sometimes,I feel you are the tear drops that fall from the eyes of my own.
And sometimes,I think you are the drops of love from the vast ocean,
Endless,with no edges or corners,
Perfect in your own solitude.
Many nights have passed
                       in deep slumber,
O’ how I missed my muse
        that came alive in sheer darkness.
Wide eyes of hers-
            black lashes that
slowly unwrapped themselves
              from one another
and became the flicker
       of a distant fire in the woods.
Tonight, I am finally awake-
           to witness how the
crescent moon waits silently
           for her starry poetry
before the world spins again.
          Truly, hours of darkness
made their home
            on her soft skin.

O’ beloved, the way you became the night
        and how the dusk
embraced you
       along the arches of your collarbones-
left this soul gasping for more.

My mind formed many more verses,
      To sing to you-
For I have finally found you-
          Amidst the thousand lost stars.
Nocturne- a poetry that deals with the theme of the night.
