Yearning

I want to hug you
with no holds barred
my arms around your neck
my lips kissing your ear
while my right leg wraps around your left,
Your arms around my waist
pulling me close,
oh so close,
that i want to melt
right there
in your warmth.
Hold me like that forever
let time freeze in that moment
of you and me
and me and you
breathing in one rhythm,
heavy
heady
hearts pounding to one beat
lips exploring the taste
of old passion.

Silent treatment

You will win at this game
of egos;
You've always been more head
and I, more heart.

But I wonder
how much more indifference
can I take
till I crack...

You probably think
it's fine,
that I'll come around
and smile at you,
But, baby, you don't realize
that the glue of money
cannot mend broken hearts.

Let me be the second

Have you ever noticed
how sometimes a lone star
is brighter than the moon
on dark nights?

Burning silently
far, far away,
yet shining
through your heart?

I want to be that star
to touch you
with a twinkle
on your dark nights.

You know
how sometimes
words are warmer
than hugs,
and a kiss
more intimate
than a fuck?

I want to be
that second
to your every first,
for all firsts
fade into stories.

Broken

A thousand pieces 

Strewn about 

of my shiny heart.

I gather them carefully

One by one, again,

For another start. 

How is it 

That your eyes dance 

To another tune, 

While I make music 

For you all day 

From July to June? 

A thousand dreams 

Strewn about 

From me to you, 

Please take them all

And give me my love

Back in lieu. 

Busy

You and I together
Make or break our home
Why then make mountains out of molehills
And make me write a poem?


I was irritated
You were rude too
Let's now please bury the hatchet
For we both have work to do!

Together

Under the same sky

You and i

So far away

Yet so close.

You are probably

Looking out the window

of your car

Wearing your sunglasses

Through the bright, sunny day.

And I

Look out the window

of my office

Into the lush, wet greens

of the pouring rain.

Let me send you

Some of this precious rain

And take

Some sun from you

To keep me warm.

Under the same sky

You and i

Brought together

From a time long gone by.

Here I am. After six long years. I feel like a completely different person today. Going through my old posts I wondered how such emotions were felt and documented so easily in the form of verse. I was a simpler, more naive person back then. And perhaps the ability to feel and write like that is the price I have paid to get smarter/wiser ? Or perhaps I still have it in me.

Let's find out.
