"From deep within my heart
I always catch the scent
of my Beloved. How can I
help but follow that fragrance?"    By Rumi
          


Drowned in delicate perfume of the gorgeous bouquet,
Glistening moon floating in sea of...

A fuddled mind surfs through tides.
Harboured, she sits by the sea doing nothing.
Her toes make electric touch with the  water
Restless currents ... spark the sand.

She could see the ocean break into two parts.
Did the Ocean have a heart?
She had salt in her tears..
She had...

As you suffocate the light, I'll fight with closed eyes.
As day turns to night, I consume the lies.
There's no guarantee, we will get out alive.
A chance for calamity, will not thrive.
Come get lost, inside my heart.
You know the cost, for now we're apart.
Our shattered dreams,...

The flames grew dim as the wax poured.
A silent killer, it stealthily soared.
My fire drowned in its accompanying liquid.
As the wax engulfed me, my spirit was rid.

Wobbly thighs are forcing legs to thrive,
Against the tides of doubt, I strive,
Softened walls once held...

She was the vastness of the oceans
I, sailing the seas
Enjoying her swells, her too and fro
She would entice me with blue dreams of lore
I would sail away from the safety of the shore
I was the lonely boat, with nothing but loves delusions
Heading over the horizon
Traveling...

Narwhal of antartic deep, trusty
heart my soul to reap, ferry last 
my wet cold skin, cross the river 
Styx of sin

And if you ask of me now gone,
enquiring where my light has shone,
speak them with salt-sea’s romance,
“He’s gone to prance the Narwhal’s
dance”...

Moon kisses blown by evening’s silver lips
caress the ocean's pricked up ears. They hear
a mute rage, frothy hackles raised to spear
a passing fleet of ghostly nightbound ships.
Dead dreams float up as daylight slowly slips
into the deep; again we face our fear
that dying might not be...

When Death’s pale decaying fingers
Have caressed the face of beauty and lingers
For a moment to gaze on that face so pure
The innocence of the young there’s no demur
Death has no concept of age no mind to dwell
On pity or the consequences of those who fell
They...

Speak once, 
and softly,
so the river may know...

"You've come to mourn,
his drowned bones."

[She starts to groan]

He was a
loving father,
a faithful son,
his body swept
and tossed
and now he's gone.

[Leaves fall and vanish in the current]

How now... Mysterious Death,
the speeding current,
time...

Travelling in his car once
Was caught in rain storm by chance
Car drowned in flood, didn’t find driver.

Drowned in Passionate Depths Of Our Deep Love

So much I wanted to say but could not
speak of moments dancing in pouring rains.
You gave more love than I had ever got
now you gone, it matches depth in great pains!

I know now, your desire in flying free
from...

He holds her till she wakes. 
Do I smell brownies?...

Reflection of the moon
In the water pool
So shiny and mysterious
I try to touch it with my hand
But it shies away
And winks at me 
In a lustful way
Seductively smiling
In my face from far away
I reach my hand again
And catch the edge 
Of the reflection 
But it...
