The footsteps padded closer

Quietly picking up the tempo

A sudden  pause hung endlessly upon the air

Just as instantly my heart was thrusted from my body

A searing pain traversing every vein in my body

Insisting God didn't  exist

Where is your  God now? They bated me

"WAITING." I answered with a smile

"I forgive you."

Escaped from my lips

Unable to move

"YOUR GOD IS DEAD!"

I sunk into peaceful silence

and believed with absolute certainty

It would  be any time now...

I woke up in a white washed room

Sunllight trickling in from a sliver of exposed  window

A nurse also swathed in white entered.

That's  quite a beating you took back there

I don't know how you managed it?

Wheres the doctor? I asked.

I'm afraid you wont be seeing him any more.

Why not?

It seems something happened.

He kept screaming down the hall

GOD IS NOT DEAD!

And hasn't been back since.

What'll happen to me?

You're going home.

Home?

Yes.

Why?

We've lost our funding.

Oh?

But this was my last chance

For what?

To prove to myself that God exists!

Well I'm sorry. I'm afraid I cant help you with that.

But since your cancers are all in remission I'm sure

You'll have many more chances.

The rest was silence permeated by padded footsteps

And a sudden pause that hung endlesslly in the air.

Rain Rain It’s rainining dramatic
Cracks and stumbles
thunderous rumbles
plunging kamikaze droplets
screaming like riotous hordes
drowning out all other sounds
but the crashing of their own
into the rivers of oblivion
engulfing the surface
of all it touches
rushing like the war of ten thousand
but in minutes

Kiss me light

Hold me gentle through the night

Keep me warm in your embrace

Kiss the tear tracks along my face

Eyelid to eyelid face to face

Tell me stories of the things we will

Give me peace and love me till

The sweet moon fades

And the harsh hints of sunrise

Tell me of your inevitable goodbye

Drawing with it all the air over the bye

Its only mercy a sliver of hope

Of the kisses so tender

In memories with which I must cope

And find you once again

Where the universe

In tenderly regard

Holds a place for lovers

To honour their vows

In the starlight haze

Lit by loves tender will

To bring each other home

And hopes beyond hopes fulfilled .

For the times that seemed so dark and hollow

You have been a beacon of light

You've  tripped me up

You've helped  me up

Your heated touch has stung as well as thrilled

Your eyes have held disspointment

And unrivaled love

You've ripped my heart from my soul

And put it back just as easily

I guess what I know is that

The beauty of us

is in the restoration of tragedy

The righting of wrongs

The life of lovers

Tormented souls

Finding meaning and solace

In each others arms

Wrapped by the thighs

In passionate pleas

For Love to last

Forever and all the versions

In all dimensions

Of existence to last for infinity

Is after all our aeons together

The depth of our challenges

Nothing much compared to

Our infinite forever love.

There's much to be said for those eyes refusing to see the obvious

It seems blindness is a choice or some chemical imbalance certifiable.

No matter how many times they tried making some meagre offering to the Gods of serendipity, they just could not move in the same circles of atmosphere.

He was of copper and she of diamonds but the rarer kind
and whilst his seasoned teal very much beautified him against his copper, his beauty did not match the incandescent spectrums emanating from her core.

Though she sparkled brighter as he passed her orbit happily catching the brilliance of the sun reflected by him;

The angle of trajectory was precarious. As they would each time, almost always slam into other passing bodies causing chaos! They were oblivious to the sentiments of the universe.

It was one of those things that everyone else could see,
but they very much couldn’t.

I’ve looked and I've tried,
but I've still, never seen a copper diamond ring.

I couldn't ever think why?

Down,
Down,
Down,
The rabbit hole she goes.

Inner demons and sorrows
Lurk and fester
An open wound
On one’s soul
So deeply hidden
So dark in nature
They remain submerged
Invisible
But for the incessant taboo beat
That chokes the air she breathes
The only relief is
Down,
Down,
Down,
Deep in the rabbit hole.
