A Leap in the Dark

-
  A Gamble to Lose There lived a gambler at the world's edge, With concrete faith in brevity, His words, which I decode here, He repeated for eternity.  He was a gambler like no other, Played a gamble he always lost, With not a quilt for warmth, I wonder, From where the stakes he bought. Holding up a shrivelled finger, He said to me, " Mark! Dear girl,  I see you walking the path, That led me to the end of the world. You've gambled a small stake for love, But know, you've nothing to gain, Look at this cripple and learn, Love's a homicidal game. It's a game where the winner,  Is the one who's lost it all, Death rids him of suffering before, He sees the end of this fall. Run faraway before it's too late, Cage your heart be brave! Lest you be a regret in my heart,  Another one I couldn't save!" I ran down the tunnel nearby, But on my voyage I learned, Life's not just about survival, ...

Mystical

  Stardust and Magical Things I find freedom in being captured, By that arresting gaze, Time stands still, and so do I, Scouring for befitting words of praise. But before I can compose a verse, Your hand is in mine, As I fall away from rational thought, The sky seems amaranthine. You're an enchantment, Superposing the lines on our palms, Imprinting on our soul strings, A love, eternal as the Psalms. As the crimson beams, herald a goodbye, Entangled in my fingers, you leave, Some warmth and some stardust, On a magical eve! Psalms: a sacred song or poem used in worship

The First of Everything

  Once Again Give me your hand, be mine again, I promise to love you to pieces, To unlock the dungeons of your heart, With keys tucked in your smile’s creases. Say you love me, hold me again, I promise to keep you warm, To sing you songs and write you letters, That get you through the storm. Lose yourself, let me find you again, I promise to drown in your waves, To stitch your scars, with silken threads, Calm the burns with a love-filled gaze. Chide me if I ever wrong you again, I promise to heed your words, For I miss wearing them like rubies, On a skin once radiant with your love!

A Shot in the Arm

-
  Two Faces I climbed up to the top of the world, And sat, hanging my feet from the edge, Looked down at you, sighing sadly, When you said you could pull your own sledge.   I found then a face, looking up. A baffled one, that was yours, Before you walked straight into the trap, Of the world’s unreal allure.   I gasped at the vanishing stairs, That kept me from reaching you, My screams of caution silently drowned, In that trap’s carbon hue.   Look up, look up, look up at me, Still here, I haven’t gone away, Climb out and listen to these yells, Look up at the face that begs you to stay!

A Fallacy

-
                        Him                     His eyes have mesmerized many, But I know them the best, Jet black or ebony, They change with every sunset! Moonlight breaks through his hair, Like galaxies in the sky, And just as he smiles, I cannot help but sigh! He is quiescent, sometimes, But to me, he’s a raconteur, Sadness to him, is ephemeral, Seldom does he feel a deep sonder! He dances in the rain, Like there’s no tomorrow, Seeing him smile washes away, Any traces of sorrow!  It’s darkness without him, Except him, everyone knows, That sunlight follows him, Wherever he goes! I’ve seen him fight, To set things right, He shines brighter than the stars, And dauntless, like the night!!

Definitions...

Perfection and Perceptions Perfection’s a word undefined, Let me define it by you, It’s the way you sleep, forehead unlined, Worries fading with the night’s adieu!   The way your lips curl into a smile, The constellations in your eyes, The way you read people for books, Discerning truths behind their lies !   The way your embraces warm hearts, The melodies you sing to the rain, The way you whisper words of care, To unheeding ears, again and again! The way words flow under your pen, The ink weaving unwonted beauty, The way you let your hair down, Unafraid of vulnerability!     The way you’ve always  shared The burden of your peers, The way you tread on embers, Yet wipe all their tears!   Perfection’s a word undefined, If only perceptions were universally true, I’d say you’re a Juliet Rose, In a garden of myriad hues!
