MEMORIES

Memories that I seek to forget

flicker like ember in a grate

singeing my moribund life

escaping on a clamber.

Hankering flames emanate

undeniable affinities in heart's chamber.

Silver moon slowly consumes my dreamy eyes

night, in its mystic essence gets ready to thrive.

Bygones slither into my cold blanket,

hide, refusing to say good bye.

I try to push them out

But they stand their ground  profound,

I refuse to give a hideout

still they choose to stick around.

My fond heart in darkness yonder

come sweeping, a moment of surrender

I embrace the darkness...in its darkest corner

Hoping there's light beyond the tenebrour.

The night's sparkles go behind sunlight's shade.

dropping my tears on grass blades

tomorrow ensues uncertainty in brighter hues

memories gnaw in impetuous rue

biting each drop of frozen dew.

I begin to wonder

why they don't say

go lay...Your own way!

Why want to cradle me to my grave?

DREAM

Had a dream redolent

with no quantum claim

of rhapsody in averment.

An intangible presence

in vehemence

envelope few evanescent moments

in sensuous ardor.

In a semitone

in night's whisper...

moan together

with the Moon and the Zephyr.

Voice unvoiced thoughts...

break prolonged silence...

vouch veracity...cognizance...resilience.

An apparition, a mystery ...

In beatific intimacy

in a realm of scarlet insulation

we sparkle in undiscovered potential.

Traverse few miles

in blessed communion

drifting to a utopian destination

...swelling passion in a lunar sile,

sweep us to an AMORE isle.

Recollection brings back a cherishing smile.

ELIXIR

The most tantalizing elixir

impelling to eternal damnation

An expert alchemist's perfect potion

Lethal proportion,for my bodily constitution.

Beat me , each cell and a soul

to keep up to, the rhythm

of your own pulse.

Don't let me go,damn me with those eyes

Let this pain live...a few seconds more.

Let me bleed , as I steal

Beguile, your enthralling charm

in a noxious deal, sealing my fate

in a barter, with now ebbing time

And your concealed hatred.

Don't hurry this decline!

Watch the unspoken understanding,

in my gleaming eyes

Elucidating your enigmatic smile

as I dwindle by the second

One last drop... let me drink

from my lovers flask

Dripping sly, those magical eyes

That can make, this sweet tormenting moments last.
