April, 2009

I cried and cried

Till the pillows

Were wet,

I cried till

I could cry no more

Emotions so deep

Feelings so bitter,

So distant

You are

Wish you were

Here

Here….to see me,

How my poor heart bled,

Bled till it could bleed no more

But to

Endure this pain for

You, my Lord,

Is so much pleasure

Love would be

Too small a word

To describe what

I suffer for you

A sensation so rare?

So rare in love?

Isn’t it?

Only mortals in love

Do feel…..

“I can see the stars

They seem to smile

I don’t know

If it’s day or night

I know the time is right,

To be in the arms I love

The night sky seems

More beautiful

When the moon and

The Stars dance

Together

Reminds me

When me and my love

Look eye to eye

And our souls dance to

The beat of our heart beats….”

You wrote

This….this?

I am too

Thrilled for words,

Rather,

I now think

It’s spine-chilling.

As I lie besides you

I can see

There….the flotsam

Knowing not where

It is headed.

Knows nothin’

‘bout Love..

And you and me.

As it gets tossed into

The sea,

Again and again..

You smile

You hardly can

Can you..? Comprehend

The gargantuan

Damage

To the soul…

Mine?

No…his, the innocent

The smiling face

The blue baby

The pink lipped…

I can see tears

Searing his

Cheeks, his chubby

Blue cheeks

And almost drenching

His naked chest

Save his gold

Embellishments

As he held me.

Close to his chest….

So close I could

Hardly breathe.

But hear I could

In the rise and fall

Of his heart,

The persecution,

Of the spirits

Locked and barraged

Under the fly-over…

Remember? He asked.

How

I found you…?

Just a lump

Of flesh…

Shorn of all

Your adornments

And belongings…

Lying wretchedly

Like garbage..?

While you were

Dragged apart

From place to place.

No grave big enough

To lay

Your battered soul...

Or small enough?

For your heart.
