still breathing you in…

the last time I saw you, Coltrane was spinning,
and there was this feeling, a rose in your
hair,
cunning, and
fair

while music billowed out, raspy, deep sounds filtering
throughout,
and…

I would be honored if you would go here, and read the rest of my poem. Thank you!

torrential rain

waves break over my heart, as
a realization
dawns

about the clouds

I’ve traveled near
and far

it’s as if the sky
has always
called
me

from the very
start

drawing me closer, I listen,
and learn about the
moisture

within my
veins

it was
always cloistered

yet clearing the pain kept at bay,
opens me up, like
the sky

after a torrential rain…

Midnight’s Dream

There was a time when sandalwood dawned the day, I remember the blood and sweat, and all the fallen decay.

The night was darker than anyone’s remembrance of our plight. It was as if the sea had crested over the town, leaving in its wake, no sound.

A tinkling in the air was all that was left.

A regard for fairy’s, we used to jest.

In between the tall trees, and the grassy leaves, we spent the summer in midnight’s dream; and, just when I thought darkness might envelop the entire world, a kiss from you sent me toward the light, unfurled.

Emerging from beyond the dream, did we; as stars rained down, and we caught love, watching it bourgeon like the sun.

Do you remember, hon?

It was our first starry night, two lovers underneath a canopy of brilliance, their life barely begun.

silver trim

dreams leak from my eyes, the
sun shall find

a way into my heart, cresting over
the canopy, love bourgeons
through the
limbs

lining the contour
with silver trim,
cascading over
the land

giving dreams a second chance,
they arrive in my
hands

and
outstretched
across the void of time, we,
for each other,
stand

letting light guide the way, a
flutter or two, takes
center
stage

as we let love parade…

a love emboldened…, Published at MasticadoresIndia

I am so pleased to announce that my poem, a love emboldened…, is now available at MasticadoresIndia. Another big thank you to Terveen Gill, and the team at MasticadoresIndia for their continued support, and for publishing this piece.

a love emboldened…

books with broken spines, reminds me of a time,
when pain was deeper, a love
inclined

towards the heavens, farther than can be seen, it’s
as if, we’ve always
believed…

I would be honored if you would go here, and read the rest of my poem. Thank you!

under an open sun…

I rise from the depths of the sea, surmising all
I’ve seen, in-between the pain handed down,
and the joy,
drowned

into
a special
place in my heart…

I would be honored if you would go here, and read the rest of my poem. Thank you!

amber clouds

amber clouds, with darkness traced, a
a silver lining placed, in your
heart and mine,
forever

and
beyond
time, they
move in the sky

uninhibited by
mind, collecting dreams
from children
playing on
the

shoreline

sand settled in heart, a complex emotion,
takes us
apart
one

piece at a time, as tears fall from images
held dear, and we
move on

past
fear, into
another land
completely

held with awe and esteem, are the sky’s dreams,
these patterns traced
in the sand
and

collected by hand, so
sweetly…

mauve patterns

humanity is like a dream, closing
in on me, feeling
cloaked
and

drowning on the tide, consciousness
fleeing with the setting
sun, and

the
beams
of falling love

raining mauve patterns
across my
mind

delivering reassurance of a kind, as
the sand in between my toes
reminds
me
of

a doe, as it flits across the field,
wandering into nature’s
scape

of a love, made real…

the fragrance delivered…

I’ve seen you, the mirror bestood
the shelled husk, and
the ground spoke
in tones
musk

scent delivered, atmosphere tense,
boiling over imminent

as presence fills my being with a firmament,
languid colors
arise

it is
the nature
of everyone
to despise, yet

love is always there, hiding in the alcoves
of hearts and
minds

remove
the fragrance delivered,
and let love
reign
far,
and wide…

oblivion’s mist…

words cut from stone, it is your love shown,
resplendent and full of life,

twice

once before time began to run, like the rivers…
