The Closing Shadow Of The Night

the closing shadow of the night
take me
upon the shoulder
of your smile
hug me to the knees of the your
unspoken words and capture
my arm into your
golden day of return, for my loving
fear embrace your
endless tears of memory that
i rest

Through Thick And Thin

to love to cherish
for richer for poorer
in sickness and in health
till death do us part

i hear it again on this day
in the wedding ceremony
that i have attended

it is the same promise
i give to you my love
my wife this day and forward
till afterlife.

When the rain fall

When the rain Fall

wet and dusty drone
touches my skin

like breeze hype
my coolness hump

oh! come thirsty minds,
struggle to whisper

my trouble ear salute,
nay stay my forehead

as the eyes that closes
to wrinkle my sight,

i'll stay forever wet

Blue

when the moon is full
and the night
is cold
and the trees
all but shadows

i walk on the bridge
and stand
by its side

i am a shadow too
lurking
i see this shadow
on the raging river
below

shall i loosen
my grip
on the railing
of this bridge

Remember that Day WHEN we WHERE once Strangers

....... Suck the breast that nurses your thirst and drink
the mother's milk that gives your strength, nay!
remember that day when you're a stranger to the
land and let not your eyes close, to the darkness
of the Heart that values your happiness.......

Beyond Words

beyond words
must be concrete actions
beyond actions
must be memories
beyond memories
must be

those that still come
just thoughts
partially glimpsed
by our wishes

beyond beyond
this we touch with
the fingers of our dreams

spoken of by the
lips of our hearts

Of you and You Alone

I don't know how to stand, until i have found one

I don't know where to wish, not before your heart quest

I don't know how to stop, before i meet you, who taught me

I don't know what to do until, you come to my midst and say i do

Truly, I need you in my HEART

Pssht....

pssht...... everyone wants
to hear but no one
likes to listen

good and bad make it

sense

early morning is a coffee,
a finger tip

and lips
that save

a table dine, where issues
and concerns are fine
a cream of sweet honey

in a table meet, where our

An Echo

'when you encounter
certain things in the world,
the evidence
for certain things,

you realize that you have come
upon something that you may
not very well be equal to…
When you've said that it's real
and not just in your head,

I'm not all that sure what
it is you have said'
