the faces of the dead wrapped within the folds of their burial shrouds
no more to laugh or cry or bless, lips silent as their grave.
All too soon death has dealt its blows upon innocence, a lost generation to war and hate, another grief to bear, this Human Race.
It was only you,
My love at first sight.
My heart became a canvas,
Where I splashed colours of endurance,
And when at last you accepted me,
With your soft lips on mine,
Waiting for you was worth every single moment.

Night claims her lovers
carries them high on her shoulders
parades them through starlight
singing love songs
waltzing until daybreak.
Grant 'skin akin to the bark of the Oak,
age drawn deep clefts,
hiding years of heat and cold
- sweat and toil
in eyes of eternal blue.
People say that
Real men don’t cry
       Then why am crying?
   I never knew
    The true meaning
      Of a poem
     Until
      You
      Appeared
in the atmosphere
stratosphere
darkness that we do not fear
we find ourselves alone

where is it
that we visit
at night
this seamless ride on a stringless kite
our universe an endless flight
where time does not apply

we hit the bed and jolt awake
remember not our timeless break
a thousand years on a single snowflake
a blink in the cosmic realm
timelines and fine lines
we could have met;
a century apart
with other names
and a whole lot of luck.
