#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 .

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 ?

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

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!!

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.

our love story

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...

Baby please take all my love,
You know what you've got to do.
Moments with you I can't get enough,
So meet me at our rendezvous.

signal call of the love bird;

White night, frothy light,
Moon wears a mischievous smile;
Take a deep breath, wait!

she would tell you of our late night rendezvous.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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
