Quite enticing, plush
she is a spectacle,
all the same lacking
substance and depth.
A coffee table book
everyone who is
someone, curiously grab,
turn the pages in a jiffy,
just to feel the gloss
eye the seductive shine
ogle the ostentation,
and caress the pictures
in opulent colors,
then, let go quick
without any qualms.

Throw it back on the table
with a resounding thud
in no time and leave
without even looking back once!

You're empty inside
 A shell from the man I used to know
                      Callous even
                         I can't fathom why
                                   I've stood by you
                                      With assiduous attention
                                               &
                                           I accepted this relationship
                                                     or
What once was  with alacrity
until you took  it away
You've taken everything
         You're such a cunning *******
                  You left long ago
                       Only an empty shell
                                      remains of you

                                                  Why would you leave me here
                                                           Disheveled cold & alone
                                                        ­           I became catatonic  
                                                     ­                   Shocked as I was
                                                                ­               I couldn't believe                                                                  ­                   You of all people
                                                          ­              would actually do me this way
                                
       Funny I had already seen it coming
                Because  
                  You were cold   
                          You were numb

                                           You've placed your love on deferment
                                                       ­    until whenever
                                                        ­           I guess until  
                                                                ­        HELL
                                                ­              freezes over huh
                   While you showed  such invidious
        behavior  toward my love
             towards everything I had in my soul
                       yet YOU didn't wait to be with another

                        While
        I've been caviled about it all
            Knowing full well
                We will always have
                      this archaic history
                               Once know as our
                                        *Relationship

When she opens the door partly
without any noise heard,outside
to let him in and close it again
the lovelorn moon gets jealous
a still cloud transforms in to an
eager ******, shameless and stares.

The smell of danger present in the air
heighten the thrill of them not being
just another regular pair of lovers
who could  easily meet,when they wish.
Such secretiveness adds a spicy flavour
to their forbidden love that stealthily moves,
to deceive the spying eyes everywhere.

When she opens the door to let him out,
a snow owl, startled, wakes up and hoot,
His way of saying,"Some things happen"
the moon, off color and tired of waiting,
let's out a sigh, like a breeze and acts coy.

But are not the scandalous rumors,
the jealous lovers,
and inglorious *******,
born of passion?

You put my head up
Among the stars
And help me hear
The cosmos sing.

To me it was epiphany
But it didn’t mean a thing
To you, at least not enough
To realize I was enchanted
Like a school kid of twelve
With that first strong crush
That turns the heart to mush
And the knees to jelly.

It puts a fire in the belly
That time can’t quench.
I felt my gut wrench
And clench and flatten out
So much I felt a shout
Coming on like a scream
But felt that would seem
To make me look insane.

I am doing it all again,
That childhood love attack
Was dragging me back
And away from today
When my heart wanted to say
Words that meant something,
But to you nothing.

My head is still in the stars
Which must be where you are
Because you are not here.
Nowhere near any more
I was just a love chore
And, your work done
You are gone.

is like biting into
a scrumptious bar of chocolate
and tasting the wrapper.

Mutual embrace severed
Out of politeness, leg
Removed from leg we pulled
Apart desiring separation
In the afterglow.


An affair just begun
Is like a morning
After a night of rain, the
Sun sliding through gaps in the
Ceremonious cloud,
Serene, reassuring and secretive.


It was not yet love,
Just *******.
A curious investigation
Of a stranger, hardly known,
Of unspecified views, who
Has not yet freely spoken.


The routine had long ago been fixed,
Inconsequential phrases over coffee,
Denying breakfast, smiles
Without intent. Holding hands
At the door, a kiss,
And then the regretful goodbye.
A voice remembered as a sigh
A movement as pleasure,
No other memory but the callow scent
Of brief uncertain intimacy.
