Who knows what the searching soul might find
Though love and loss and love again is blind
I was lost in the landscape of the mind
But the heart is not the reasoning kind

The mirror refuses
And so the mirror refuses to
Conceal
What time and toil have both conspired
To steal
And in the cold judgment of light
My youthful memories lose the fight
Despite my best prepared
Appeal

Of all the many things l love
It's the feeling that their memory brings
That I'm by far the fondest of.....
The memory of such lovely things

The tin man
Here beneath the fortress of my skin
My heart is caught within a cage of bony sin
And though it cannot cease to beat against the bars
The world still sees me as a man of tin

Approval's face
All my life to get a grade
Red letters topping every page
To get an "A" my day was made
In pleasing those five times my age
Ignore the world outside the walls
There's expectations to be met
Don't listen when the yearning calls
There's work I haven't finished yet
Nor mourn the time so cheaply sold
To satisfy a deeper greed
The edges of their chosen mold
Were sharp enough to make me bleed
With every tune I've tried to play
Each called for by a different voice
Another moment slipped away
Another chance another choice
Am I the one to fill their soul
Am I as boundless as the sea
I tally up the mounting toll
And find there's nothing left for me
To try to find approval's face
Reflected in the shattered mirrors
I gave away the only place
Where I could build unshattered years

Redoing the glimpse
I only sleep so I can
Dream
And in that dreaming catch some glimpse of
You
If in that glimpse the years now gone I might
Redeem
And feel the way I did when love was
New
Are we the lovers that we
Seem
Or only glimpses passing dreams
Redo?

Waiting
And so the waiting takes it's time
Nor ever feels the need to share
While hours stand in line by line
Where once we felt the need to care
And though the moment waited for
Returns the feeling that we need
We find that we've arrived once more
Where all our needed feelings bleed
And though we have a need to feel
And sometimes find the will to dare
The waiting lies in wait to steal
As if the need was never there
And so it seems we need the wait
To give our feelings time to lead
The passing hours always late
As if they were a shameful deed

Every dreamer
Every dreamer wakes
to find the stars have
Slipped away
Gone to join the years it takes
To earn his momentary
Pay
If we learn from our mistakes
I guess I'm not the one
To say
Every morning breaks
Just before it gains
The day

The food of touch
Who knew that human skin could have a voice?
That it could cry out in silent screams and shatter the brittle peace of night
Yet every pore
Every single pore becomes a unfed mouth begging for the food of touch

Water
Dripping into
Water
One thing becoming
Itself
Ignoring every intervene
In passing
It remains

It is
It is this song
Of Thrush and Robin
The skirl of Hawk
Upon the air
The squawk
Of Raven upon a gate.
The buzz of bee
Upon the air
The creak of cricket
In fields fair
The scent of earth
That floods the senses
And blooms fresh against
Fences
This life we hold
In tranquil bliss
That fills all upon
Natures gentle kiss
That so blind we become
And fail to see
The magnificence of Gods
Divinity.

Living to love you
While death
Attempts to creep
It's way in
The light arrives in time
On time
Saving lives with each rise
Peeking through curtain
Illuminating the galaxies we
Inhaled and exhaled as we slept
A fracture of my soul
Left behind each night
But in your eyes
In this light
Soaked in the scents of
Hard earned love
It's all right.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You're. ..
The ink to my pages,
The words to my blank spaces,
The dot of my dimples,
The cross of my religion,
The forever to my finiteness
And in the everlasting finity of us,
Our story created a spark,
An unpredictable variable
In an experimental mixture
Of passion and imagination
We didn't know
Where it would take us,
How long we would last
With a wildfire in our parchment palace,
Yet we persisted in our lovely innocence,
Cherishing each moment between the lines
And maybe
That was a mistake we'd never regret
Or a blessing we can never forget,
But no matter what we label
The unknown that almost undid us,
What remains is the fact
That without the sudden firestorm,
We would not have become what we are
And if we consider
How papers may glow in fire
But books burn into hearts
We could appreciate more
The tale of our blazing love

Crossed
It has crossed my mind
Several times over the years
That there's a reason behind everything
Nothing is as difficult as it seems
Rather we make it difficult
Our reasoning not being the best there is
Transfigures our existence into delusion
That we freely walk, after all it's our
Own creation
The hard times were always in,
How much of that is our mindset
Our failure to let go
To breath, really breath.
Hmmm or maybe it's just me.

Some people, despite the emotional tumult that they have caused in my psyche have only left their impression in the form of poems... their originality lost to romanticism and illogical placement of their character.... and the people who have managed to earn some semblance of trust from me, inn the end, are people who made a steady and gentle impact in my life.... people who, like gentle streams created a peaceful and diverse woodland in my mind instead of overwhelming me for sometime and then not having any lasting bond with me in the longer run.. only thing left in me that reminds me of them are obscure poems that are but uprooted and felled tree stumps left rotting after the floods receded..... be the stream, not the flood... to have a flower one must nurture the bud... etc, etcPerspective
I was alone,
But her letter had carried away my eyes
In thoughts scrambled, head immersed
In her unintendedly poetic lines
Now slowly aging behind dust.
I wondered if the flowers
We had sown together in happy hours
Had bloomed into pollen hearts.
I thought, my face dumbfound,
Of how she had weaved her soul around
Me to keep me in her house,
Be it make believe.
She knew we weren't bound
Together. Atleast not forever.
Shadows I knew weren't there
Made planetfall to just annoy;
I felt my guilt, it made me uneasy
And they whispered how it was unfair.
That a dandelion of loving pink
In the night's darkest hours
Shall find itself strangled,
Awfully winded: wholly entangled
Mesmerised and slowly dyed
In the unfeeling black of a stranger's ink.

you are fleeting poetry.
and
I am a poet,
equally still
and equally moved
by the pages
you have bookmarked
in my soul.

Stars Know Who We Are
Gazing up, I pull my hood down to feel the rain
Every drop sliding down a face showing nothing but pain
The clouds sing as a choir while my soul starts the fire
I want to be seen, I want to be saved
Don’t want to be strong anymore, I need someone else to be brave
As my tears finally dry, I wonder why the clouds never stop singing
Why the sky dims down to whisper a secret in my ear
Why I am shaking and restless
Yet these clouds make way for the stars to appear
I can’t blink until it’s done
Can’t move until we’re one
I reach up towards the stars
The stars know who we are

Our love is on its deathbed
Still, I wanna live
A better life with you
But I feel that this hope is wasted
Like I'm kickin' up sand
Knowing you can't catch it
Yet expecting you to build me a castle

and I touch myself
And you ask
For me
For me
For me
Like I was ever
For me
Like I had ever
Been discovered
Before your mouth
As if any other man
With any other hands
Cradled and split
Me open
To a trembling
Mess-
With no shame
I had never before
Been without
Humility
Yet you made me
Weep for you
And with such gentle
Violence
Spared the time
With your mouth
To find what I may
Like
Even if I had not
Known
What I could
Like
For you
For you
For you
As if my keening
Wail
Against your teeth
Could sound like any
Other name
You
Are
Consumption
And I ask you
Eat me
Alive
