FIFTY PERCENT LOVE AND FIFTY PERCENT LUST

A night of passion
Where madness unfolded
You held me so tight
Like I was being moulded

Rolling all over the bed
We kept pulling each other closer
No one could stop us then
From getting into each other

Lips were smacking
Tongues were lashing
We had it all
There was nothing lacking

At last you reached out
Making me cry out loud
It was then to you
All my love I vowed

The sweat on my brow
Only added to the heat
The never ending pleasing
Was oh so neat

I explored regions
I never knew I could feel
My heart kept pounding
While you had me for meal

In the hot and humid
We were in a frenzy
It was one long chapter
Mighty lengthy

A passionate night
A night like just like us
It was fifty percent love
And fifty percent lust

THE LAST WORDS

It is persistent, the pain

When will it take leave?

The thought of it goes in vain

As another pang attacks, making me grieve

No amount of oxygen is enough

To aid my lungs

A deep breath only stirs a drop of water

Falling, tasting salty, on my tongue

If anything has left,

It is the physiological needs of my body

Food does not fill the wounds, its depth,

Water is never enough to hydrate my body

My head plays your words on repeat

It has become a mere tape recorder

Rewind, play, repeat

Each time, hitting me harder

The continual twinge worsens

Knowing you’re never ever coming back

Acceptance is something that my body stopped comprehending

Long ago, now how do I get out of this crazy trap?

LET US JUST BE

I lie down

In your arms

Entwine my fingers with yours

Gaze at the stars

Feel your chest rise and fall

And just be.

No words need to be spoken

Let silence not evade us

Let peace not elude us

Let us just be

And everything around us be constant

To stay like that forever

What would it mean?

to be together, forever?

It is Utopia

As nothing is constant

Not you, not me

Not the world around us

Perhaps things are just not meant to be

Between us

Yet,

I lie down

In your arms

Entwine my fingers with yours

Gaze at the stars

Feel your chest rise and fall

And just be

A GLIMMER OF HOPE

It hurts from within

When I fail to dance

Pour all that I feel

Into a jarring performance

Stretch my arms out to the skies

Point my toes to go underground

Something there is that I am looking for

That I haven’t yet found

I try and reach out

Yet, I get it all wrong

I might have to start all over

I know I have to stay strong

There is a glimmer of hope

My hard work will surely pay

Someday, everyone will watch me

While I glide across the floor and sway

IT GOES ON...

It goes on, Life goes on,

You don't stop for anything, anyone.

Walk the streets like a zombie, 

Wish I had, on me, a gun,

Not to shoot anyone but myself, 

It was my fault alone.

I knew I was walking on fire, 

Yet I washed my feet with oil, 

Oh and how it burned!

Every part of my muscle and bone. 

It was something I had anticipated,

Yet avoided all the symptoms.

The end result is here, 

Black, burned, bruised.

But Life goes on, it goes on,

You don't stop for anything, anyone.

THE WAIT

When on my lonely strides

I dream of your face,

Beaming and gleaming

in the soft moonlight.

How I long to see it,

Again, and caress it with both hands,

Blow a lock of hair off your face

Gently, and see a smile appear.

Trace my fingertips

To your lower lip

Deciding the right moment

To cover it with mine.

When my hands drop

To my thighs, I turn away

From you, to leave

You pull me back

Our bodies colliding

I shut my eyes, while you

Lift me off my feet

closer to your heart

And my lips, parted

Them having waited for so long

For your touch, for you.

I exhale, dreaming of your face,

I imagine, just imagine

How I long to see it,

Again...

TELL ME

He’s crying out in pain from within and I can’t soothe him,

His insides are on fire and I can do nothing but watch him burn,

He’s lost but I cannot hold his hand and show him the way,

He needs somebody, how do I ask him if I could be the one?

What good is my love if I cannot just comfort him?

Hug him a little tighter, that’s the least I can do.

What good is my love if I can’t stay by his side?

Listen to him talk like most friends would.

I love you my dear,

Just tell me what’s wrong,

I might not be able to solve the problem,

But I’ll stand by you all along.

I love you my dear,

Just share with me your plight.

I can’t bear to see you in pain,

And the way with them you put up a fight.
