Love's Storm

The skies whispered
And my summer turned stormy
Winds swirled all around me
Dismantling the shelter surrounding me

No more on safe grounds
I found myself unable to run
As water rapidly filled in

Finding nothing to hold on to
I got swept away
The winds blew me to the center of the storm
Controlled by love, as willed by the skies

In the midst of the chaos
I could only listen to the flute
Being played from love's deep eyes
Recounting to me of the harshness of cold nights
And the bliss of the skies' whispers

The chaos raged on
While I succumbed to love's flow
Enlaced in strong arms
Promising to hold on to me
Even in the next world
As my powerful God

The skies whispered and the storm wreaked
The havoc is of unequalled power
While the bond of love only got stronger

AMERICAN CINQUAIN COLLECTION

How slight
The petal of
A poppy,flowering-
So much like us,beautiful,yet
Fragile

Hurry
Takes its toll as
In our daily stroll,we
From deepest ruts of blind alleys
Quicken

Beauty
free from above
embedded in our heart-
His loving-kindness ..ready to
impart


The warmth
Of love's invite
Encompassed my desire,
In two soft whispered words of love,
Be mine !


Eyes closed
As lips caressed,
Mouths joined,impassioned
Tongues explore,in our love's embrace,
Time-framed


My love
Beguiled me,with
Soft sensuous lips,sleek
Long thighs with rounded hips,twinned heart's
Enlaced

Long days
Of August sun
Where nature blinks and shrinks
The dying grass,yellowed in sleep-
Held fast


Night chills
the aging bones-
blowing on the east wind
flurries fine and dry settle on
new graves.

These be
the keys to life,
faith,hope and agape,
love,the greatest gift of all three-
to thee !

Desire
welled within-
words became a promise
so sublime,to love now and for
all time.


We had
met and conversed,
a rapport on first sight-
a chance meeting to a life's time
delight

My Dream Date

My love
Beguiled me,with
Soft sensuous lips,sleek
Long thighs with rounded hips,twinned heart's
Enlaced
with
Eyes closed
As lips caressed,
Mouths joined,impassioned
Tongues explore,in our love's embrace,
Time-framed

The warmth

Encompassed my desire,
In two soft whispered words of love,
Be mine !

Celestial Spider Web

A spider web is wondrous made
with interwoven threads o’erlaid
of sticky strands to snare the prey
in intricately shaped display
like filamented promenade.

High up, in galaxy brigade
agrouped through gravity obeyed
in Hydra’s grip the stars portray
a spider web.

‘Midst Nature’s splendorous parade
on cloths of heavenly brocade
as earthly spider spins its way
so cosmic galaxies convey
enlaced within galactic glade
a spider web.

Explanation: The Spiderweb Galaxy (PGC 2826829, MRC 1138-262) is an irregular galaxy which is 10.6 billion light years away. It is located in the southern constellation of Hydra (the water snake) and is one of the most massive galaxies known. Hubble images provided a dramatic glimpse of a large massive galaxy under assembly as dozens of smaller galaxies merge through mutual gravitational attraction. This provides the best demonstration so far that large massive galaxies form by merging smaller ones.

Never Enough

Newness of spring’s manifestation,
efflorescing motifs of flowery guile,
views of the gregarious vernal rev,

eviscerating the macabre haste of time
rapidly flittering as orange eye-thunder...

Enlaced halcyon trees to ponder in a birdy glee
No longer barren, they sing a gasconade silken

Oh robin on your perch precarious, stay still so!
Under the preeminent flurry of you,
glowing petals snow my gazing...

How fast your breast flashes by my lost breath

Unredeemed

decayed as corrosion seeks a way to abort fear
into realms of subconscious oblivion-
seeking what needs to be seen, I gaze only at sights
ahead that lead to redemption;
enlaced and cuddled inside burlap (craving silk) 
needing only one seal to close a letter to pain,
but you attach anguish inside the envelope in case;
signed with a signature from...
                                          you

I sit confused; contorted-
I awoke this morn with silent dreams; 
startled from all that delivers what might have been-
disconcerted with remorse I am left muddled and
confounded in a cave of self-pity and weakness,
trying to align my soft heart with a harmonizing
aria of brilliant tears, longing not to shed;

                 astonished and filled with surprise I close my eyes-
                 I see the my dusk meant for dawn in the eastern skies

Au Clair De Lune

By the crescent moon above
I dreamt of your embrace, my love
In the moonlight by the sea
We sailed away just you and me
Protected by the clair de lune
A million stars on honeymoon
Enlaced we pledged fidelity
Our hearts teeming with intensity
The moon our witness for eternity

Don'T Make Home a Heartbreak

My heart
Was in a slumber so deep
Almost as if poison
Had put me to sleep 
But you 
You were the one
Just that one special person
Who could change that for me

Because 
Your smile
Was so gentle
So kind
Just like a fireplace 
With a warm embrace
I would get enlaced every time

Your words were so soft and kind 
It made my heart rewind
But with the rewind 
It also
Put thoughts in my mind
I felt as if
I wasn’t ready
To know what true love is 
Because I was a fool of so many others
games and tricks

It gave me that feeling that was deep in my heart
It felt like a shiver down my spine
But the good kind
The kind that made me want to stay with you forever
Together

I know I’m a lot to fix
Because of the damage that was done 
By everyone else
But with you I feel something greater
I feel safe
As if I have finally found my home

So please
Don’t make our love a mistake 
The heartbreak
Will just be too much to take
My heart will just fall asleep forever
Never again to be awake
