#rendezvous
I found myself wondering , I have come across many people, Some open and some closed, Minds as narrow as a ravine, And as vast as the universe. How do they don their egos ? Vile but come across as polite, Rough around the edges but nice, Do they hang in cliques and duos? Do they wear their bravado alone? They must have gone through life, A certain way that made them, Certain of the egos they shoulder, Weighing a stone , rock and boulder, Their demeanor, sweet or colder. What is their best shape and size ? What is the way to behave? Certain of your rights and wrongs? A worldly construct that guides you, Stops you from being you? Are you fluid to have a thought ? Philosophical enough to ponder, Yet not make any judgements? Have you an opinion of your own, To question this construct of mankind? What amuses their speck of an existence? Do they look up to the skies and ponder? The existential drama they play , In a universe that plays with them . Like blowing a puff of air , Scattering the floating dust in a ray. Do they peek into their inner corners? Have conversations with the dark? Darkness of their minds, they hide from, Do they ever seem to discover their truths? Do they live their entire lives not knowing? I have come across many people, Not knowing the outcome of these rendezvous . Some sweet , some bitter and utterly distasteful, Losing my appetite for more, evermore. Am I just tired of pondering alone? About the psyches and egos of people ? What makes them , them ? What makes me , me ? I have come across many people, I found myself pondering .

Cliques and Cliche
I found myself wondering , I have come across many people, Some open and some closed, Minds as narrow as a ravine, And as vast as the universe. How do they don their egos ? Vile but come across as polite, Rough around the edges but nice, Do they hang in cliques and duos? Do they wear their bravado alone? They must have gone through life, A certain way that made them, Certain of the egos they shoulder, Weighing a stone , rock and boulder, Their demeanor, sweet or colder.

What are you to me ? You are not the past that was, A probability of my imagination, You are not the future, I imagine, You exist, in my present, Listening to my stories, Existing in all three times, A variable of my past, A constant now, A probability of the future, If I could solve this equation, The outcome would tell, What am I to you ?

Equation
Meet me in between the rose field Under the watchful gaze of the moon The only witness to our secret affair Because you belong there and I here You belong next to those elegant ladies With their intricate fans and delicate hands Enjoying good food and vintage wine Drowning your worries away in champagne I belong below those same ladies Sewing their fans and washing those hands Eating your scrubs and cleaning the spilled wine Crying my worries away because love is not enough Love is not enough to chain me to you We belong to different worlds So how can you say that you will stay How can you say you will find a way? Anyone could steal you away from me Knowing that keeps me awake No one can know of your love for me Knowing that keeps me awake Remember our delicate rendezvous For it could be the last time we meet If I thought otherwise I'd be a fool I'll keep this secret buried 20 feet I will only tell the moon about you So it take my sorrows away And when the sun comes out tomorrow I will forget all the promises we made

Midnight rendezvous
Muddled yet accountable. Sober yet lively. Impassive yet doting. Mixed bag of traits define him. Bowlful of big hearted fondness he carries to embrace all. Conviviality and amiability are his favourite words. Pile of rendezvous, easy reach outlook, entangles him in a maze. Still an apple of everyone's eye and quite a loved soul. Being you and always there, with joy I proclaim, cuddling happiness and ease. Best of our camaraderie, brimming with our fond memoirs is yet to be savoured. Attachment and affection remains, Love, regard grows each day, to remain forever. Blessed to have you brother, friend!!

To my brother...with love!!
the tired eyes and sluggish hands in a late night rendezvous that starts with a touch that explodes in your chest the fire at your fingertips that splatter all throughout and it's the sparks in your lungs the brightness against a groggy gaze which fills the spaces between your words the ellipses between your sentences the pauses between each breath you take every hesitation and never seems to end.

rendezvous
One night one day, stolen moments, an unfinished bottle of wine and some conversations still paused; Eyes locked, lips docked, raspy breathing out and in, tangled sheets,  heartbeat to heartbeat above all the din. Surreal, magical, sensual and true, Mind Body Soul, in some moments, so few; Forbidden, thrilling and a tantalising high, A  fantasy of a rendezvous, my oh my! What were the chances of two strangers connecting, Baiting, mating and clandestinely fating, serendipity thou art a magical brew, Oh! Now estranged one,  this is my ‘while waiting’ ditty to you...

Late night interlude
why won't you control what is inside? the pleasure you cannot hide, the memories you bribe, the emotions that kept you alive?

Secrets
You have without knowing reached inside and touched my soul awakening it with urgent pulsing like an electrical surge I yearn to connect with you completing the circuit My soul seeks yours for a rendezvous to mingle in an ethereal embrace to share a repast in the soft candlelight of awareness and the sweet scent of the roses of incorporeal passion filling plates with the words and cadence wine glasses with the music of poetry You speak the language of my soul whose words are garden           flowers                      unfolding                                pathways sojourn                    reflection                               struggles                                            life whose syntax is poetry and song You more than most have taught me to heed and understand the language to recognize the melody and to dance its rhythm

An Affair of the Soul
fire spark of lover's sweat hazy moan engulf the air gripping sheets and bending pillows moonlight streaks on wet windows energy reaches dream state then disappears through the keyhole and there is nothing more than silence before the quiet escape and the unspoken acceptance of this graceful mistake

graceful mistake
My stone like heart Now has soft spots Like that of molding produce And you are relentlessly on my mind. Yet, my heart and brain have regular rendezvous See, my brain is insecure And my heart: a bit unsure. Yet, as I sit in crowded rooms I wonder how this can be my dream When I dream of being with you or in solitude. The self demolitioning chaos I crave recommends you as an adventure. But I don't know if it's okay to be so gleeful at it's sound Though, I do so crave your presence. And I pleasantly await In fear to hear The lyrics of your heart. As they will be stained onto my heart Like a temporary tattoo And will be chiseled into my brain Forever

A poem for whom?
What now, lies within it? A treasure, rose bud. Shining bright, waiting quiet He knows, he wants, he craves. Where then, can he find it? She holds the key, my dear. Raven haired, longing eyes She waits, she longs, she hopes. How now, shall he go about it? With subtlety, bright daisy. Soft whispers, muttered name A house, a place, a smile. How then, shall he reach it? By cleverness, sweet child. Key turns, door opens The light, the night, the moon. How nigh, shall he find it? Through stealth, gentle babe. Soft step, floating shadow A box, a lock, a snap. How heard, shall he escape it? No escape, darling mine. She gasps, he turns Their eyes, their fears, their hearts. What then, he does not hurt her? Souls meet, Butterfly. Her kiss, his lust In love, in dark, in moaning. Sweet romance! Do they know it? Love triumphs, soft angel. Passion burns, a lantern falls Their fire, their ash, their death. No! Why? Could they not fight it? Don’t fight, sunshine True love, to die there So whole, so perfect, so destined. But wait, what of the box? Fear not, mine daughter. Look inside, to find only Their love.

The Lover's Box
Happenstance is what's really happening Happenstance is how it all once did occur A moment in time becomes a memory without end Chance encounters with a special someone along the way Brilliantly designed random impromptu rendezvous Casual and natural Easy and planned To see someone there in person And to know all that they maybe might be A brief hello How do you do? Better now that I met       someone so wonderful Exactly like you. -R. 8.17 -LA

Sippin' on that liquor to feel better 'bout yourself While I get lost inside a beat because it's better for my health I ain't got no reason to stay mad at you, or follow through I'm past excuses, it's just I'm feelin' useless
