Labyrinth

When I wrote in verse
 The prelude of my poem
 I handed you my mind map
 I left my head at your hand
 Tilting back like a line in the sand
 Your heart came over my mind
 Just like the whispering wind
 Opening my writings 
 To wet mornings
 So when the birds started tweeting to pray
 I started moving away
 But amoured with miracles 
 Appealing to the poets
 As the distance stretches  afar
 With the clues to the story
 The code of the words
 The pulse in the veins
 The blood that riots
 When I decided to write
 On your heart landscape
 The letters scattered
 Where the sky and the earth are entwined
 These were not my hymns
 But yours
 Dancing on the grassy page
 Where the words are embroidered
 Breaking the dead of the night 
 While you are wandering in my pain
 Hiding beneath my cloak
 Here I decided
 To dedicate you my conquests tale
 Yet I wrote on the door of the palace
 "I'm bewildered
 Not because of magic
 But because of women' s endeavours"
