I am like a little seltzer pill.
Effervescent bubbles deep inside.
You are the liquid all around me, all around...
Uncovering the joy that I would hide.
I want to dissolve myself in you.
I want to dissolve.
So, wrap yourself around me as my body fades away.
I want to dissolve.
I am like the ice in wintertime.
Cold and hard and oh, so slippery.
You are the sun beaming down. beaming down.
Evaporating all of what is me.
I want to dissolve myself in you.
I want to dissolve.
So, wrap yourself around me as my body fades away.
I want to dissolve.
It must be so much more than love.
This desperate need to bare myself to you.
You are the Pacific all around my tiny shell.
Enfolding me with in your balmy blue.
And your saline eats away at my defenses.
Eroding all my carefully made fences.
Watch me dissolve...
In the end I want to be a part of you.
Swimming, drifting all around your soul.
I want to soak up all I can of you
Until my empty spirit becomes full.
I want to dissolve myself in you.
I want to dissolve.
So, wrap yourself around me as my body fades away.
I want to dissolve.

In the dead of night, her prince reveals his true form,
A wolf in sheep's clothing, his heart as cold as ice,
She's trapped in a nightmare, no fairy godmother in sight,
Her glass slippers shattered, her dreams left to freeze
Her heart, once on her sleeve, now lies frozen and alone,
Shattered like the glass that once adorned her feet,
She's a prisoner to his lies, a puppet on a string,
Her fairytale is over, her story incomplete.
The clock strikes midnight, her carriage turns to ash,
The ballroom's lights now dim, the music fades away,
She's left with nothing but a broken heart and tears,
A fairytale gone wrong, her happy ending astray..
And so she vanishes, a shadow in the night,
A phantom of her former self, her dreams now out of sight,
No prince, no love, no happy ever after,
Just a shattered heart and a fairytale's disastrous disaster..
In the cold and lonely silence, Cinderella weeps for a love that never was,
And as her tears fall, the darkness consumes her, a heartbroken soul lost in the shadows."

There is no destination, only thresholds that dissolve the moment you step through,
And horizons that retreat with each step that brings them closer, a play of shadows and light,
To chase completion is to pursue a mirage, a cruel alchemy of longing and illusion,
Where dreams intertwine with reality, and time slips through fingers like sand.
Perhaps the wise do not seek arrival, but learn to make peace with perpetual becoming,
Accepting that each moment is a gateway to another world, a universe in expansion,
Where every sunrise is a new beginning and every sunset is just a pause between acts,
A continuous dance on the stage of life, where the goal is not to arrive, but to be.
We often lose ourselves in the search for the final point, forgetting that the journey itself is the story,
A voyage through the labyrinth of time, where each turn reveals something new,
Where true peace lies not at the end, but in accepting that there is no end,
And that beauty resides in the mystery of the journey, in embracing the eternal unknown.

darkness that once I befriended
is pulling its strings and laid down it’s plans
the tales I recited following the shadows
of his and her, my and their life
are being used as a canon
to shatter decomposed walls
who plead me to say “yes”
with every single breeze,
with every single breathe,
i refuse to kneel before defeat
in my cold barren land,
every season feels colder
but I’m looking at horizon
waiting for that summer
to let the dear readers know
“i’m trying not to dissolve in the darkness,
that eternal excruciating peace”

Dreams that seem to make no sense
bits and pieces of suspense
dissolve and vanish before my eyes
blackmail-spirals, howling skies
All exits blocked, no escape
ghastly images, scimitar-shaped
horrors dredged-up, long suppressed
drown in light once awake

A monk ascends
Then shares wisdom
The ignoramus interpret
Thus a new religion is born
Unless our hearts become porous
We are trapped in lower mind
That is controlled by ego
Senses externalised
Notice that no sage
Followed religious scripture
All they did was to enter silence
Allowing God’s light to permeate form
If we truly wish to recognise the truth
We must meld head with heart
Relinquishing every belief
Becoming the flame
When ego disappears
Only then does God appear
Thus not by doing but in undoing
Do we reclaim what our true essence is

I wish to fall through time, breathe you
To melt into your universe
To cease me, become one from two
You the sea in which I immerse
Two only one
Dissolving done.
Fuse my soul with you, deeply, true
A process to never reverse
As your purple swirls with my blue
Fully fade, into you disperse
Without regret
Since our souls met.

Love, like an emotion beyond explanation
Come to me and dissolve me in your mysteries
I will swim in your endless oceans and
make memories of a lifetime to remember.
Gracefully as the spring leaves when her reign is over
Brush away all the pains from the chambers of this heart
Dwell deep inside the broken soul behind this smile
You might get the opportunity to cast off these sheath of tears hidden underneath
Touch me gently for I might break
The wounds of the past have left me fragile
Delicately run your tips all over my body
Give me a night that I remember till the end of my days
Like a sunset full of passion and colour
I yearn to be united with my one true lover
But the dawn steals away my dreams
And leaves me lonely to dwell on my scars
Next time hold on to me permanently before the sun rises
Reflecting our true selves infront of transparent light radiating from moon
So that you can clearly see deep inside me
The parts of my Body that echoes only your name

Lozenge
by Michael R. Burch
When I was closest to love, it did not seem
real at all, but a thing of such tenuous sweetness
it might dissolve in my mouth
like a lozenge of sugar.
When I held you in my arms, I did not feel
our lack of completeness,
knowing how easy it was
for us to cling to each other.
And there were nights when the clouds
sped across the moon’s face,
exposing such rarified brightness
we did not witness
so much as embrace
love’s human appearance.

I dissolve into you,
I am your effervescent love ...
You dissolve in me,
you are my loving salt ...
Together we are creators
of indivisible pure love...
Together we dissolve
all the unloving hate around ,,,
When i kiss you
I kiss me too ...
In kisses we are in each other ...
We are two in one,
we merge,
we dissolve
together in one ...

Awarded hate but not returned
Born black but not black
Called by names but not named
Shadow who cheated too
So let me dissolve in You.
Where I shall go ?
Sky , risk to fallen
Land , risk to slipped
Sea , risk to drown
So let me dissolve in You.
Fire increase fear
Air not at favourite gear
Snow makes me pale
Thus nothing without You
So let me dissolve in You.
Cold day : fear to freeze
Rainy day: fear to flow away
Hot day : fear to fry
Save myself , want to sink in You
So let me dissolve in You.
Debits larger than credits
Demarits heavier than merits
Bad lucks faster than my luck
Yet calm not me but you
So let me dissolve in You.

You're eager to challenge fate;
with lies disguised as the truth.
And you shield yourself from hate
with the innocence of youth.
Tattoos display anger's mark;
inked with a defiant tear.
And blood badges, crude and stark,
pictograph, a life of fear.
Feelings memories impart
make you want to run and hide.
For deep in a troubled heart,
sadness drains egos of pride.
Hope fades under neon light;
dreams dissolve, and trust erodes.
And friends, ingested by night;
are consumed by hungry roads.

Dissolve
Mother sits by the window
After freeing herself from her household chores.
Fresh and peaceful
She is all by herself.
She looks out at the clear blue sky
Enjoying the streaks of sunlight dancing at her feet.
She picks up her favourite wooden needles
Working them in and out,
Warping in love and and woofing out
Cabled patterns on father's wintry scarf.
A silent smile round the corner of her berry lips,
As she prides over her familial love.
It is Her time, for Her very own being,
A time to disconnect
From all entanglements of life.
Past adjustments, the present solutions, future ambitions,
Zoom past in a flash, and
Dissolve.
And then the mind goes blank
Into a state of nothingness-
No thoughts, no desires no regrets.
The prattle and gurgle on the wooden staircase,
Wake her out of her reverie.
She jumps to her feet,
With electrifying speed
Puts her knitting back into her cashmere bag,
Runs to unbolt the front door, finding
Two smiling elfins with upturned faces, outstretched hands,
Going down till their amorous eyes, holds one in each arm, and
All ambiguities dissolve.

TO DISSOLVE
I will dissolve the universe
With intentions incandescent
Go beyond this or that way
Beyond sultry cove or that shore.
Without beginning, in intensity
Without end, beyond conception
Where there is no fear or regret
To let go without inceptions.
