Rain's blue-black cloak, tied with rainbow girdle,
visible over the green hills,across rice fields,
she waves and rushes forward.
From distance, the incessant chant
of South-West monsoon,
sounds like a mature witch practicing her craft.
      One would think,she is all evil,dark
       the overcast sky her sinister cloak,
But under my umbrella
a coy maiden, i desired from afar,
who walk with me step by matching step
with all the cunning tricks of love
trying to entice me with her soft body's tunes,
her tender cool fingers rubbing my cheeks,
her unmistakable lover's touch eager, transgressing
desirous of getting me in to her arms.

She makes me mad
i throw away my umbrella
in the rambunctiousness of a teenager and run with her,
at once her naughty hands pinch and tickle me
then an intense embrace that makes me shiver
with the deep pleasure, I drempt in wakeful nights,
joy of life that rain tune and smell of damp earth evoke!
The green loud glee in me it creates!
In dreams, rain come to me
and tells me the secrets of night
that I long for my love and me alone.

Rain, the seductress who taught me
the secret passions of living and loving,
and the burning sensation, of love
that runs deep in the  core of one's being.
When I lay awake, in a monsoon night,
outside my window, she plays tango,
wind holding her by the waist, with fierce passion,
that keeps me awake til,
I get absorbed in a dream
that has passionate love as the under current.
                   )O(
you look like every beautiful city I've never seen.
a serene, untouchable bravado masquerading your false pretenses.

your a dark dream i often turn to,
when there's no ups to long days spent feeling down.

you feign compassion with what could almost be called,
an expertly crafted imitation of emotional meandering.

but we know no ends, why?
because my depravity, and your menacing resourcefulness,
somehow compliment in this world we have created,
where distance is its own intimacy,
tangible between our empty hearts.
i feel you in the flutter in my chest.
         i see you in the ocean, looking back at me.
i can feel your touch,
         in every raindrop that lands in my hair.
when sunlight kisses my face,
       its your smile that warms me.
as the world seems so overwhelming,
       its your unfailing kindness that moves me.
when the undertow of melancholy takes me,
      the pull of your sincerity surfaces me.
when fresh air hits my face,
as the world opens up around me.
all the beauty that has ever been,
exists in the simplicity of this one moment.
Its good to be young,
In love with lifes possibilities.

Its a wild feeling,
Falling madly into your depth.

Its good to be fearless,
Unfraid in all the best ways.

Its an unending rush,
Wandering our way through tentative touches.
The clouds scare me
I forget to sing
life is like a dead tree
I don't see the silver lining!
Worried grows my face
at the smallest darkness
Islands of light I miss
pale and cold is your kiss!
Yet I know it's within me
to rid the phantom and be free
revive the dream and dare
to go beyond the nightmare!
Hands
that fold in prayer

he said what do you feel when the wind blows
eyes out like the sun, back bent straight
coffee dripping in corners like moons in the nighttime

all I want is wine and poetry,
but especially wine
I said
thinking of kissing fingertips
and fingertips in my hair
and learning how to breathe

you get rusty, with the wind
I'm rusting in the wind
Even my fingers
breaking off and becoming dust
in the wind

You left me alone with my thoughts again.

You left me alone to the hopelessness, the pain.

You left me alone with my thoughts & they're killing me.

I dreamt of you.
I'm infected by you.
