Oh Love...
True love is like
A child chasing a butterfly
A song that makes you smile but cry
The part of the movie you watch five times
A first kiss, losing your innocence
Sunrise, star paved nights
Psychedelic highs
Someone lending a helping hand
Beach side, walking in the sand
Laying in a bubble bath,skipping class
Winning a game, getting payed
When the week reaches friday
Playing on the tire swing
Falling fast asleep
Remembering a good dream
Smiling lip bites
Flying a kite
Christmas gifts
Eleven eleven wishes
Dressing up for Halloween
Dancing at a party
Getting another chance
Being born again
Happiness times ten
Indescribable
An alternate reality
All that matters
A beautiful disaster
Everything and anything I always wanted
What I thought would be forever and always
Now nothing but a memory and what it ment to me
True love
A child chasing a butterfly

True love
Years
Through years of love
and years of tears
You've made me laugh
all these years.
I know sometimes
we tend to fight
but you never insist
that you are right.
When it's time
to go to bed
next to me
you rest your head.
The years have come
the years have gone
through all the years
our love is strong.
They are past
with more to go
what they'll hold
we have to know.
Through all these years
you've understood
and always gave me
what you could.
Through years of love
and years of tears
You've made me laugh
all these years.

Idolatry
She is the apotheosis
the sculpted facets
of mythical goddesses
Expressing a resilience
that echoes through wars
and allegory
Her image etched
into green stone
bridges legend and reason
Imbued with the rarest elegance
and grace
are her curves
The sun stains them not
and the moon pays tribute
by its pale blue resplendence
painting with a soft brush
a royal hue
Burnt within the fabric
of my mind
she resides as an immortal
Her divinity
unquestionable, unforgettable
Her celestial tapestry
of an abiding tenderness
asserts its boundless perfection
She is my golden calf, my idol
by which I awake
and kneel beside
that I can know true beauty
It is in her memory
I bathe
From my thoughts of her
I see art
In the presence of her sculpture
my love is defined
She is the apotheosis

In the presence of her sculpture
my love is defined
high on romance-life-new age music-Coelho
we had mouthed words as the banal sun went hiding
behind the Kanchenjunga in its warm indifference
those words probably meant nothing but
back then it was about belief
so we treated that tomfoolery as divine will
even at times thought of Us a soul union or
some transcendental craptalk
we became Mickey Mallory sans bang bang boom boom
pristine-almost as innocent as sarcoma
free birds of fine plumage dressed in
free tibet tees
for years it seemed
that was the shite
when one nears thirty the early years somehow
become some godforsaken ed wood flick
ah yes
try denying that
i mean
all those familiar stares at which our hearts
used to skip a beat like it happened in those
chick lit novels you would buy from the tube
for nothing only to read and cry for days
i bet you do remember that time we met
after a week and someone had to yank me from
becoming roadkill on the western express highway
and those wild nights by the indifferent Arabian
when you thrashed harder than the rain
everything-all of it-hot damn
all the blood-bile-booze-bruises
poems-phone calls-piss-pills
madness-silence-violence-nothing
chasing after noisy taxis with you inside
wiping your smudged kohl-ending the phone calls
that i made while trying to keep up running 18mph
smooching till paralytic fever set in amidst mild
chances of threshold electrocution at synapses
making love in the bushes with mouths covered
grunts muffled-gravel cutting into the spine
or giggling while dashing half naked afterwards
away from security
one lives the life and then is left with residue
sky high-undeniable-non-disposable as one cannot
get rid of it
may be-ah never mind
all these hank jr-cole porter-ray charles-menuhin records
wong-kar and jarmusch dvds with director's commentary
stored inside the cupboard with a blue ray of annaud
and all those photographs inside the shoebox of trial and
error in the kitchen that resulted in delicious chicken curry
we had eaten with frozen yoghurt-cold naan-white wine
not to forget the unused tommy girl-thai beach sandals
well what about things one can't ever lock and hide away
like memories of black label-nepali weed-country rum
followed by large packs of durex and strips of aspirin
monologues of endless love and soul connection under
clear night skies with imaginary falling stars and shit
and all of that
reminds me more of you than you have ever
reminded me of yourself ever
then and even now
well probably that's why I sit and
write about them

Love, thou art
Is dying
Petals unfolding
Immaculate ink
Light that lingers
Through the pores
Of thou skin
Night my knight
Of velvet visions
Silken scarlet sea
Love
Awaken

You were so sweet and interesting how could i resist,
liking you and everything you did,
But I was so afraid of our first kiss,
I was scared I wasn't ready and way too nervous,
And then it happened on your bed,
And warm blood rushed to my head,
And I knew that you were the right choice,
That i wanted to treat you better than the other boys ,
But then we started saying those three words,
And 5 months later you said you felt too immature,
And for some reason that really hurt,
because you made me fall in love,
Then i guess for you it got to tough,
And you decided that you had had enough,
And you left, yeah you left,
And you said you wanted to be friends,
But then you decided you couldn't let it end,
So you came back,
said you missed me so i took you back,
And now here we are trying this again,
Because we care too much just to be friends,
And we both know that if it ends,
We will never forget our first love.

"I Hear You in The Wind"
http://deepundergroundpoetry.com/images/uploads/poemimages/56407.jpg
Two lonely souls
so far apart,
see translucent
beautiful mirror
reflections
on tempest seas,
future dreams that
may or may never be,
such sweet love, glee.
Incessant desires bring us
to brinks of ultra-sensory
overload insanity,
not vanity,
we come back from
hidden minds, treating
each other so kind.
Hearts in our throats,
we waste not,
a frenetic pace,
desire for lace,
feeling remote living
in our separate places,
hiding our faces,
present tense moments,
transporting on
astral planes,
fast trains,
bumper cars, the
eternal bright
twinkling stars.
Pinching myself
asking if
this is this for real, or
am I free falling from
above without a silk chute,
jumping train tracks at full speed,
experiencing multi-car pile-ups, or
eating sweet pie in the deep blue sky?
Always burning blood,
learning in void space,
we return to
consume more delicious
refreshing elixirs
from our deep wells that
hopefully, don’t run dry.
In earnestness,
we continue to try.
I cry and cry, and,
cry some more
crystal clear tears,
fearing incessant sadness,
our perpetual yearning
will never end.
My lover friend,
I hear you in the wind
and,
transcend,
yet
again.

Somewhere along the line
I apologized too much to
say I love you any more
than when I didn't have
the slightest clue as to
what it means to say I
love you more than life
I love you more than death
that much I say with confidence
But more than life? Who can
say that makes them feel safe?
More than cheese or bacon even,
and even then only sometimes
I wouldn't dream of eating you
unless my hunger was constructive
of the object I devour in the
overpowering yet only whelming
sense of pride I forget from
letting you go forth and seeing
you fly by every once in a while

What Do You Feel?
Whisper my name in secrecy
into the night that-beckons
I shall hear you in my dreams
And you will... find me there
torn between pure and wild
on the edge of letting all go
What do you feel?
Jump with me...Will you?
I could easily rip-apart
and fall into another place
while you were not looking
Like sand falling through time
Hold me and tell me
you won't close your eyes
or look away...Promise
There is a single red flower
at the other-side of eternity
Walk there with me
let me show you beauty
It will only take your breath
for a moment
There is silence...It's precious
Let's jump...Will you?
Whisper my name in secrecy

Please Don't Let It Fly
She holds onto the very breath of him
air in moving swirls lifts her away
his arms around her waist lovingly
slipping through fingers melting ice
She closes her eyes and wishes and wishes
"Please don't let it fly"
Wings that tug with the softest breeze
and he holds on in whispers of the heart
picks her up into his arms and binds her
with his will that nothing shall take her away
He closes his eyes and wishes and wishes
"Please don't let it fly"
With the struggle ever fighting the force that is
in each moving moment where love silently walks
arms of strength alone cannot stop the slipping
They know it is their hearts and desire that will win
They close their eyes and wish and wish
"Please don't let it fly"
She holds onto the very breath of him
air in moving swirls lifts her away
his arms around her waist lovingly
slipping through fingers melting ice
She closes her eyes and wishes and wishes
"Please don't let it fly"
Wings that tug with the softest breeze
and he holds on in whispers of the heart
picks her up into his arms and binds her
with his will that nothing shall take her away
He closes his eyes and wishes and wishes
"Please don't let it fly"
With the struggle ever fighting the force that is
in each moving moment where love silently walks
arms of strength alone cannot stop the slipping
They know it is their hearts and desire that will win
They close their eyes and wish and wish
"Please don't let it fly"

Love?
never cared for love,
never cared for the mortality of it all
call me a misery,that's okay
when you play, do you play for the keeping
do you see yourself soundly sleeping side by side
with the one true love of your life
oh please
even if you have woke up every morning
since the day you laid eyes
with your stomach turning and your heart yearning so much
that it's smashing off your rib-cage
every third beat
and even if every person you pass on the street
reminds you in some way,be it looks or nature
a waft of aroma an expression a laugh
what makes you think you're any different
than the rest of humanity
doesn't love peak and fall
like every other bastard thing in life
never cared for love,

i feel like i'm walking on the rubble of my heart.
going to da beginning but don't know where to start.
i was a sinner and u were the angel with the harp.
now im sittin with a lamp writing in the dark.
love is suppose to be magic not smoke and mirrors.
n all love brings is hearts broken n some tears.
but now im miles away wishes u were here.
but i can still hear u whispering in my ear.
saying it will be alright till tomorrow.
n how can u love with a heart so hollow.
wish i had a clue but there's none i can borrow.
ya said im moving through this too fast like Apollo.
n i just got home.
saw i had at least 20 missed calls on my phone.
i thought that u just wanted to be alone.
guess u really dont know wat u got till its gone.

Fifteen, the age where one suppose to enjoy life,
but instead I fell in love.
It was the most loving moment in my life,
Flowers, steady heartbeats and romantic dreams,
I wish he would be only mine.
Days went by,
but the will to express my feelings to him wasn't there,
Until I saw him with someone else,
my heart shattered into pieces.
Tears, shattered dreams and no heartbeats,
the days were long and I just wish I forget him.
Months went by,
but the will to forgive him wasn't there.
I saw myself tearing apart,
Until someone fell in love with me,
Afraid to fall in love again,
I ignored him.
Years went by,
Now I fell in love with the guy I think deserves me,
but he is no longer mine [cr[/color]y].
