Backdrop of hues from heaven's palette
Two silhouettes stood hand in hand
A pair so in love on their deserted islet
Only witnesses were the sky and the sand

Two silhouettes with roles of lovers
Frolicked forever in the setting, evening sun
Only they'd know what laid under covers
Secrets of pure passion in their blood did run

Their merriment presented bare in a playful dance
Two silhouettes engulfed in their own private universe
Kisses and embraces offered in a reciprocative trance
Dark lips matched the other's voiceless whispers

Two silhouettes then dissolved with the set of sun
Strained my eyes to unravel this sweet shadow clad mystery
Last few moments pierced through like a shot from a gun
Because I realised that one was you while the other wasn't...

                            me...
With you I am overdone
Without you I am undone
Many matter
Air matters
Light matters
Heat matters
Food matters
Nature matters
Time matters
Job matters
Age matters
Health matters
Wealth matters
Life matters
Love matters
Many else matter
We two too matter in all matters
Else, nothing else matters.
At one time, seemingly lifetimes ago,
I felt as if I could take the pain experienced
by those who crossed my path and
somehow, maybe by empathetic magic or
good old fashioned love, turn it into
something useful to them...but now
I admit that I know better.

God or Allah or Buddha or Luck
placed people in my path and also
placed me in theirs, sometimes for a
few minutes or a day or months or years
but the mechanism and the time are irrelevant.

Knowing now that no matter what I do
I will never be the person that the few I've
loved actually need is a cold, cold understanding,
the kind or understanding that makes a person
age ten years in a month, yet it's something
worth realizing for it's own sake.

Look at this mountain of empty sins piled
around me, these bottles full of regrets,
you see now why when she looks at me
I wave and pass her by, knowing that
all I have to offer is a mere attempt at love.

I have nothing to give to anyone but my heart,
here take it please this beating wounded thing,
take it from my own keeping and do what you
wish with it, for I no longer wish it to be my own.

Take that heart given, and keep it close, but not
too close, for it won't help you when you're happy
and life is grand, no that heart is only in your
keeping for one purpose and one only....
as Dante said, eat of it and take strength for your own.

Under the pink sunrise sky.
I glance to the side and see your face. Puffed clouds I call your cheeks. Eyes brighter than the morning star.

She heard his shy heart beat with joy from within his chest. You remind me of the sky's colour every time your cheeks blush and turn rosy red. Your made of different shades of handsome. That cause mother nature to pause for a while and bow down to the beauty of you. Would you mind dear if i come closer and sit beside you. Would you mind if we hold hands and admire this beautiful view as we curl our toes in the golden coloured sand

My soul lusts for you.
The spirits flow between us, wondering how a love this pure could exist.
Vivid images of two hearts with strings.
The blood flowing in harmony.
Heartbeats in sync.
The waves gently wet our feet.
I rest your head on my chest.
"I'll keep you safe", I say.
"I'll hold you near, I'll love you, dear"

She sighs as she feels the shivers descend down her spine. While his hand reaches for her thigh. "You're mine" he whispers in her ear as a tear makes its way down his cheek. The sound of the heartbeats she hears makes her oh forever want to keep it as a memory in the back of her brain and bury it deep down in her thin shy veins. It sounds like a beautiful melody with the sounds of harps and violins playing in the back round. "Oh please hold me tighter if you don't mind. I would like to experience the feeling of you being mine too." Collect seashells with me before the sunsets down. Tell them how much you love me and give them back to the sea". "Hold on love before we go let me wipe your crystal like looking tears. We should give them over to the riptides. For they hold stories that i believe should be read by the mermaids living on the other side of this beautiful sea that's if you don't mind" she said


I thank the atoms that arranged to make you.
The millions and millions of cells.
the sun in the sky gives tribute.
In your sparkling eyes it dwells.
Phonetics don't give you justice.
Words of passion fall thin.
Let your eyes speak to mine.
Spill rivers of gold and tin.
Hold on to me and let's shine.
Shine with all stars within* ~

It's our first collaboration together. It was the most beautiful experience in the world to write a lovely poem with him :)
