hello, stranger
finally,
we broke the boundary
of virtual and the physical plane
rummaging through
instances wherein
meeting you, and I
was in our circumstances.

we met for caffeine
and paper bundles
and ties within the philia
and you were unexpectedly
familiar
as if we knew each other
from a long time ago

undeniably
there are a thousand thoughts that
rushed through the gallows
intersections in my brain
and there are a thousand words i ought to say
freely, blatantly
for safety is better associated
with the anonymous
I found with you

a step, I say
to knowing what's beyond
the lashes that flickers through the air
majestic, entrancing
and eyes that glimmer
when intersected even with
the dimmest of light

and to my surprise
I felt safe
yet
in this indescribable feeling
of the need to detach
my claws onto the skin
of the unknowing stranger

I have to forget that
our existence
once crossed

for meeting you
was a mistake
that happiness forced me to commit

and as the cycle of building and destroying
the image of you, tangible and the like
continues

hurting, burning
like acid to flesh
yet recovering with no scars
at all.

I love every single bit of it.

Unknown and known
Poetic terms that you
Delicately paint across
The screen

Unreal and real
Canvas 's
Flickering
Abundance

Is like n *****
Is a lovely simile
Is a metaphor for a fantastic
venture
Is a statement
Of falling in love
With your words
With your work
With the You
Wonderfully
Genuine
Foolishly
Aetheral and crystalized
Like
Snowflakes through air
Briefly temporal, anchored
On the misty treetops of my
Unreasonable reason
Slightly
Holding on those
Unleaved, yet loving
Widspread branches
To
Waver and yeald...within
Blizzards of swirling
Emotions
~~
Both
Burning
Unstoppable
Yearning
~~~
Of my and thine mind
~~~~
Growing from souls
Spontaneously, naturally,
Without a question!?

Rays of our universal consciousness
Gently melt snowflakes into the water
That sleeps and slides awaken slipping

Downwards the lichened tree barks toward The ground, appointing and connecting
North, South, East and West
Where they rejoice the seasonal
Foundation of fastbinding spins
between
:;'".,,;;
Thine and mine
Tiny dot particles asking eachother
Inviting the most beautiful
To appear

Fragments of moment
paddling swift and frenzy
through layers of present.
Filaments of passing time
wafting in evanescence
to get folded in the memory.

Oh fragile life
you are the remnants
etched in the illusion
squeezing frail reality
from misty ruckus
in mysetrous shade.

Beneath azure sky
On the bank of transience
rest, numerous existence
embedded with myraid dreams
and shed desperate selves
as fireflies hugging flames..
