Another time, another place…
Beyond the life, in different space,
Where the Sun goes down on the faraway East,
And the Moon rises high above Western feast,
I saw you in a mask made of silver and silk:
Hair is auburn like leaves, skin in driblets of milk,
Soulless eyes, gleaming green – like a moth to the flame
I'm the one who flies straight to burn gladly in vain.
Yes, your visage was spinning the ballroom that night.
I've surrendered to you – with no doubt, with no fight…
In return, at my silly devotions of love,
You just smiled and fled by – swift and light, like a dove.
Morning light woke me up. I suppressed hopeless scream,
Cause' you've fled once again and escaped in a dream.

Squatter pulse rates purvey hoarder rain,
Blood drips, heaving, flipping the veins hole.
Shaping an abyss in your nearest chain,
In the dusk, you can hear raindrops on the tole.
Blood drips, heaving, flipping the veins hole,
You expect a reply as you hear and embrace.
In the dusk, we can hear driblets on the tole,
You sink into the gloom with its tune chase.
You expect a reply as you hear and embrace,
In the water, we will be exposing gaps of refuge.
You sink into the gloom with its tune chase,
In the gaps amid hurried swing and deluge.
In the water, we will be exposing gaps of refuge,
Blue and silver waves echo in the bland brine.
In the gaps amid hurried swing and deluge,
Painful and subtle, disclose an anxious whine.
Blue and silver waves echo in the bland brine,
We can spot underlying stream dysmorphia.
Painful and subtle, disclose an anxious whine,
Under the decent ripples of life lies dyspraxia.
We can spot underlying stream dysmorphia,
Shaping an abyss in your nearest chain.
Under the decent ripples of life lies dyspraxia,
Squatter pulse rates purvey hoarder rain.

you yearn for
the scribble
poem in rain
like a dressmaker
of waves &
ebbing
sociableness
Yet
the steam
surrounding you
glide
the zephyr
Within other
proclivity &
given
appropriateness
Infrequently
shepherd
the driblets
within
your hunt
natural
grants are
sustaining the
precipitousness

NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived

You make the minutes dribble
Down the meanderings of time
First drizzling
Then dripping
In dribs and drabs
Then dropping
In driblets
That drain the hours
And drown the days
And I
With my drowsy eyes
My drifting mind
And shaking hand
Turn a deaf ear
To the hue and cry
To the whys
And the wherefores
of your fatal lure
For I have no time
To let go of you
And live my life
As you have already
eaten it up

" I LOVE YOU, even if you don't mind ... "
mouth are kept shut
eyes overflowed with myriad driblets of tears
no words came out
no single phoneme is heard
"QUIESCENCE"
~~~
filled the cage of our "LINKAGE"
this feeling of passion and love
this heart overlaid with warmth
this mind crowded with your "NAME"
this being subjugated by your "SMILES"
but until now, I am still in SILENCE
because until now,
"YOU" and "I" can't be together ...
"YOU and I are walking in different trodden paths of LOVE" ...
and still until now, "YOU and I are running in opposites" ...
~~~ how I wish, I can say this HEARTSTRINGS jailed in my deepest "ME"

iridescent rainbow hue of alluring view
heart's living essence now in screw
whole unscathed life is in glue
her name is no clue ...
oh love, love, love
like white manoeuvring dove
vagabonding in sense being's above
fate and will - hearts' soul shove ...
you're a scented exquisite flower
petals of warmth's dew in shower
a lady as comely and refined as the Eiffel Tower
I'm a beau, a secret lover ...
you're the effulgent golden daystar in my vague murky dusk
you're the incessant driblets of rain in my ghastly drought's mask
you're the sculpted key that opens my obscure, nebulous life's door
now, no query - " I LOVE YOU " , please don't ask WHY no more.

teardrops emanate from within
inner bane, anguish perforatin'
space for vigour devoured by pain
driblets of tears pour like incessant dewdrops of rain
melancholy cuddled my psyche's being
whinging flashbacks juxtaposed - reminiscing
nightmares, incubuses in tight sleep bedtime
death comes, humming lyrical requiem in rhyme
dreams swallow me with fear - exasperate
like ceasing ... expiring ...it's a fate
now, crying ...bemoaning ... myriad tears fell
reverberates like infant thrown to hell.

Innumerable -
Incessant countless driblets
Catastrophies fell.
Crystalline mirrored
Chromatic, stunning, superb,
Grandiose paints stained.
Forging faith within
ATMOSPHERIC UMBRELLA
Colors- urbaned, mazed.

Like a wild flower in the rain
Sometimes you get desensitized
By the company you keep
And you forget to be a genuine person
Just like the arms you lie within
Your body cannot do without a warm touch
Driblets, a breeze, triplets
It was all a spring time hush
Like a wild flower
I saw you making hail in the rain
And I won’t carry through my days
Without you by my side
