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"
