LOST LOVE
an earnest plea, the quotations of my soul,
it never led me to that beautiful doll,,
i didnt know the magic, i didnt know the art,
to ask that angel to live beside my heart,,
with every failure, with every fall,
she moved further and i lag behind all,,
slowly slowly as the blue moon waned,
i saw her fading in the monsoon rain,,
and a day came when she was no more,
the tears from my eyes were pouring forth,,
but to my surprise then happened the sunrise,
i wished her good luck in a singing voice,,
u see, here the love paths are entangled,
some find it near some find it distant,,
but love shines, it shows its existence,
when u come to live without ur love's presence..
it never led me to that beautiful doll,,
i didnt know the magic, i didnt know the art,
to ask that angel to live beside my heart,,
with every failure, with every fall,
she moved further and i lag behind all,,
slowly slowly as the blue moon waned,
i saw her fading in the monsoon rain,,
and a day came when she was no more,
the tears from my eyes were pouring forth,,
but to my surprise then happened the sunrise,
i wished her good luck in a singing voice,,

some find it near some find it distant,,
but love shines, it shows its existence,
when u come to live without ur love's presence..

SERENDIPITY
Groping in dark like a body on pyre
I was struggling to hold happiness in my vain
Suddenly phone flashed with a beeping clash
There, She introduced herself as "Naina", intrigued by my fame
Then the words flowed and the feelings rised
I did realize her presence hitting me inside
I don't know if it were words or her spell
But she became light and I felt again health
I felt attached, I felt attuned
A drowning bliss and a glimpse of truth That "love is the key for all broken twigs,
That Love is this potion", this all I could see
Yeah It wasn't that worth but not to let the gratitude unexpressed
I asked her whereabouts but she was too frivolous
Without any footprints, leaving any clue
She vanished like she had appeared out of blue
Now i wonder if she was an angel of blues or a girl just homely
Ummm whoever she was, for me she was a true serendipity
I was struggling to hold happiness in my vain
Suddenly phone flashed with a beeping clash
There, She introduced herself as "Naina", intrigued by my fame
Then the words flowed and the feelings rised
I did realize her presence hitting me inside
I don't know if it were words or her spell
But she became light and I felt again health
I felt attached, I felt attuned
A drowning bliss and a glimpse of truth That "love is the key for all broken twigs,
That Love is this potion", this all I could see
Yeah It wasn't that worth but not to let the gratitude unexpressed
I asked her whereabouts but she was too frivolous
Without any footprints, leaving any clue
She vanished like she had appeared out of blue
Now i wonder if she was an angel of blues or a girl just homely
Ummm whoever she was, for me she was a true serendipity

After All This Time
Like a long-lost love song that fill up you with nostalgia
When the melody captured the moment forever forward to no end
This emotion lingers in the depths of me
Reminiscent of sleepless nights and letters enthusiastically penned
Like engaging dreams dwelling in the back of my mind
They fuel a lasting passion that’s full of quixotic imagination
The feeling goes beyond visionary boundaries
Filling the heart with wonderful and extraordinary inspiration
Like an undying ember that burns feverishly, fervently
The eternal flame will always write your name within my heart
You and I took a chance on this epic romance
Because there was something so special right from the start
Through the highs and lows that not everyone knows
Destiny brought us together like it was part of a divine design
We’ve held on to each other tightly, rightly
Loving you more now than ever before after all this time

I'm soft hearted but firm...
My hubby despite our marriage of 20 years
still loves me perfectly, expertly
both verbally and physically
Then had come on my scene again
an admirer who created as if a void
and filled it with his love letters and love poetry.
But whenever an admirer
creates love's vacuum in my lovelife
that was non existent before
I've always managed to brush it aside
with chastity's vacuum cleaner lol.
Or I sweep it under the rug ,
can't get stuck in the dirt of the flirt😉
Only marital love can sweep me off my feet.
His poetic charm created in me love poetry's chasm
and I tried awhile to be a balm to his obsession's spasm .
Yet my wedlock is a high walled fortress
even if I'm no crowned regal princess
So while my hubby still bills and coos in love
this admirer inked me his billet doux
What a batter, what a roux!
I'm softhearted but not towards soft porn
Thank God its over, phew!.

Unsullied Pages
I vow
to pleasure
your spirit
wholly wordless
A silent promise
polished
by the hum
of a music box
Lining the immediacy
with
poise
Whirling through
the depths
of impulse
Twining
raw incantations
with
the soothing cadence
of a
whisperers tongue
Comforted
by the passional affinity
that seeps from his mouth
Constant
and
craving
A masterful raving
Composed in song
Settling in
Clinging
to the lore
of unsullied
pages
Idling awhile
in your
essence
to pleasure
your spirit
wholly wordless
A silent promise
polished
by the hum
of a music box
Lining the immediacy
with
poise
Whirling through
the depths
of impulse
Twining
raw incantations
with
the soothing cadence
of a
whisperers tongue
Comforted
by the passional affinity
that seeps from his mouth
Constant
and
craving
A masterful raving
Composed in song
Settling in
Clinging
to the lore
of unsullied
pages
Idling awhile
in your
essence

Reese — that guy is an ass
I’m leaned against
a vending machine,
arms crossed against
my chest,
toying with my hair,
peeking up at
you between my lashes,
And you’re leaned in
one hand propped
against the machine,
while the other hand
offers me
a peanut butter cup.
I fumble with the plastic,
peel the paper off the cup,
hold one up for you
and you take the whole
thing in one bite
and I forget to breathe at
the feel of your
sensuous mouth
on my fingers.
Swallowing hard,
I almost drop the
package as my
shaking hands
fish the second
Reese’s cup out
head bowed to hide
stained cheeks
I push out the soft center
and joke about
the chocolate ring
being the perfect
size for your
cock.
I look up.
Make eye contact.
You jaw is tight
as you lean
in slow
motion
to write your
name in my mouth.
And love…
your lips are so
sweet that
my fingers
dig into your shirt ,
leaving the
stain of my hand
on the left side
of your chest,
as your free hand
drops the wrapper
and gently
grabs
my
throat

The Weight of gravity²
I can't sleep tonight
so I write you.
I write to alleviate anxiety
from the day's events
{nothing more than usual}
and I write to you because
yours
is the voice I seek
to soothe—
your specialty,
which changes the trajectory
of a truly stressful day
oh how you love me to say
Writing you connects us
through merciful Gods
much smarter than myself
Maybe- if you're quiet enough
right now
you can hear my thoughts,
wispy little murmurs
that carry delicate desires
dispersed across the miles
Feel tiny smatterings
of hot singes
speckle against your skin
embers slow smoldering
by the fire you stoke
deep inside me
An incremental burn
building intensity
bursts wide open my yearn
flashing bright
flickering that grows
to a blinding sight
sharing my passionate rage
I want to believe
you see it wage
How flames dangerously dance
in a sort of Morse Code
of long distance romance
branded secrets lighting up the sky
like messages from a time gone by
realizing the space of separation
means little
once receiving the siren signal
ushering emergent information
upon prearranged fires
love's unstoppable notification
My insolent selfishness
is righteous
with it's want for you
you surprise me
flexing strong measured control
I am captured by your pull
even in your absence
even with our distance
I feel your gravity
I crave it's weight
like my body craves your complex touch
I can't get enough
of you
I know what our love means
Ferociously aching in between
longing fills my night's dark spaces
from those very places
that only your enlightenment traces
I've found what answers my call
am entirely consumed
left in splayed wide open awe
I miss you
I've always missed you
If that's possible,
{I whisper again}...
I.
miss.
you.
My body knows your it's meaning
my soul is mated to your reason
under the same moonlight
within the vociferous page
jagged in lights that slowly fade
across the desert's dusty heart
each night my hands
impart a written art
curious about your happenings...
"What is he doing at this moment?"
"Is he missing me like I miss him?"
"I wonder if he knows
his mouth is my heart's hope?"
(and my greedy cunt's number one fan)
"Does he think of me
in all the seeking ways ways he can?"
Sliver'd thoughts dart and dash
adding to my secret'd cache
each reverie that doth embed
runs quietly through my head
I calm myself
slide down into the dark
let dreams of you infiltrate my heart
folding in your free spirit's soul
my submission honed
balanced weighted by control
My pen rests—
I wrote it all
to you
let sleep now come
right on cue

We almost Kissed...
Your lips, we almost kissed,
A moment that I'll forever miss,
A fleeting chance that slipped away,
Leaving my heart in disarray.
I can still feel the warmth of your breath,
The electric tingle of a love that's left,
The anticipation of what could have been,
A love that was never meant to begin.
Your lips, we almost kissed,
A moment that I'll forever list,
A memory that will forever remain,
A love that's always on my brain.
I can still see the sparkle in your eyes,
The smile that played upon your lips,
The way you leaned in just a little bit,
And the way my heart skipped a beat.
Your lips, we almost kissed,
A moment that will forever persist,
A love that was never meant to be,
A memory that still haunts me.
I can still taste the sweetness of your lips,
The tenderness of a love that could have been,
The wonder of a moment that slipped away,
Leaving my heart in disarray.
Your lips, we almost kissed,
A love that was never meant to exist,
A moment that will forever be,
A memory that's etched in me.
A moment that I'll forever miss,
A fleeting chance that slipped away,
Leaving my heart in disarray.
I can still feel the warmth of your breath,
The electric tingle of a love that's left,

Leaving my heart in disarray.
Your lips, we almost kissed,
A love that was never meant to exist,
A moment that will forever be,
A memory that's etched in me.

A perfect fit .
Love really is an oxymoron .It can make your heart sing but also make your throat bone
dry and not one note can float by . It’s a million different things all at the same time. We don’t feel whole without it but half of
us doubt it . It’s a shape shifter in different
versions and sizes and we wait for it to settle and be still . Hoping that my trousers match your shirt and the cut is divine, a perfect fit skimming us both in a eco cotton with golden threads that has fibres made for durability. A real classic piece that the years can’t disagree on as it becomes your staple piece, your favourite despite the collaboration acquired in 1965 , it’s been
Stretched to its very limits but still stands
The test of time with all fashion faux pas, I
mean this is love after all it’s never all heaven or hell but sometimes something
In between.

Betwixt Exultation And Love's Torment
Blindness
Slowly lifts
We stagger to pinpoint focus
You
Are a harbinger
I bear hallowed witness
Wrapped up in the minutiae of sensation
Anticipating this epoch desire
Bewitched and utterly bespoke just for you
White static
Multiplies starved frenzy
Rumblings of archaic thunder
Stir my wickedness
Calling forth a sum of your whole
Everything you have to give
Becomes mine for the taking
Knowing your beast is restless
Revelation mingles upon a periphery
Twine shadows conjugate sweet lustre
Pacing each promise
betwixt exultation and love's torment
Overseeing a fierce cascading rhythm
Fixated
Eye to Eye
Deep internal growls...
Can be heard rumbling wisely
In an animalistic choral 'come hither'
Flexing lean hard muscle
Tempting me—
{please.. tempt me}
I am the epitome of want
Encompassing for aye
Skins glisten rapturous evanescent need
You float me easily
Into a new existential realm
I wrap around you
Surround myself
Perfectly fit and famished
Grasping hold, we
Circumnavigate
Beating hearts regale
Your sandpapered whisper
Is erotic communion
Pleas to God
Echo
Find answers
In all the moments
Between
Scorched breaths
and
Aching mews of
"Don't stop!"
.
.
.
You
Make me a woman—fulfilled
In every sense of the word.
