Under the sky where stars entwine with the shadows of lost days
Under the sky where stars entwine with the shadows of lost days, when sanctity becomes an echo fading slowly,
we bear the burden of time like a heavy cloak of lead, while madmen escape from the prisons of their own minds,
entering social fields like wild storms, their shadows darkening the sky with whispers that God has

Ending A Perfect Night
A perfect night ending.
After passion peaks,
our quivering bodies,
dissolved in fiery heat.
Wrapped in a nightly cocoon to sleep.
Fragrance dew lingers,
entwined in dampened sheets,
as two hearts synchronize
in harmonic rhythms.
Breathings calm to steady flight,
as sleep creeps,
ending a perfect night.

Fan club leader
This is my fan letter,
You make souls better,
To me, you're a sign.
Love, yours and mine.
Our hearts do entwine,
Rain or sunshine,
Now we recline.
Love duly thine!

What Love Means
Love is the splendour that mystifies me
A rainbow in the sky colours my mind
Rapture bosom in high-spirited glee
Blind by passion, beloved we enshrined
Romance, Zephyr on a hot humid day
Dawn of spring after each winter season
As butterflies draw toward flowers way
Lovers seek closeness for any reason
Amor, a warm bright light within our heart
Set ablaze

NIGHTERRORS III steel entwine
An ancient facade
Of wood and flesh entwined
A dream half-dream in flesh discard
Something undefined
Mechanical sublime
Where soul intertwined
A silent regime
In between space n time
where tears have never dried
Crumbling deity
Crafted by the Artist's hand
Fragile is your truth
Never to understand
Façade faded in wood & flesh divine
In silence it stairs
In horror it stands
In the stillness of

In a velvet night, where dreams entwine with the shadows of the moon
In a velvet night, where dreams entwine with the shadows of the moon,
Where thoughts flow like a river of memories, and the soul stirs with each whisper,
I wonder, my beloved, if my longing has ever touched your heart.
Was I ever a star in your universe, or just a shadow on the edge of your dreams?
When

Plaisir D' Amour
Plaisir d'amour ne dure qu'un moment
Chagrin d'amour dure toute la vie.
Tis here that I met you on a pleasing summer morn
Where blossoms of the cherry, out on the bough, adorn;
Underneath the cherry tree euphoria welled soon,
I met you in the morning, I loved you by the noon.
You were more the things to me that I

Amor Litteras In Antiquis - the Old Love Letter
Velvet paper tinctured pink,
A red rose at its crest;
The whittled feather, bathed in ink,
Set to bare its best.
A lambent candle close at hand
With dancing, flitting flare;
Where evening translates its command
And nothing stirs the air.
Words are authored, truly writ,
Where, from the soul they flow;
As on the page they snugly sit,
Affection to bestow.
Filling out each careful line,
Each

When Hearts Entwine
Blown like a leaf, in a fierce storm
Life whizzed by, each moment poignant
Dream images did rise and subside
All paled before the bliss current
It was the fall of year eighteen
I exercised my free will choice
Dropping ego fears and desires
Opting to heed conscience’s soft voice
No sooner I took the first step
Soma nectar flowed through my veins
A voice

Entwine Notion- Life
Life is an affair of feelings explosion
At one point promotion
At another we get demotion
Now let's talk about its 'Entwine Notion'...
Sometimes like a cherry on the cake
Sometimes finding an empty plate
Life gives a mix of portions
Occasionally devastated & happy so often...
Strange paths in the walk of life
Stepping ahead like on the
jab of knife
Existence of some

Come To Me
Sweet sounds of summer slow subside
as poets wandering words remove
similes, soliloquies, all finally laid aside
words our truest feelings cannot prove.
Come to me. Lay your gentle heart to rest.
Come to me. Lie by me undressed.
I will touch the stillness of your soul,
become made whole.
When last line is written
and noble heart does quicken
passions’ crushing fire

Softly Spoken Whispers Entwine--
Ever quietness;
Around the valley;
Still and peace;
We can not resist;
All I want is that voice in the wind;
Sometimes when I am traveling;
There’s nothing more peaceful in kind;
Formidable and fine;
Than hearing that voice in the wind;
Softly spoken whispers entwine;

Mom, I Am Still Your Girl
The world says,” Mom is always beside”.
Oh mom! When I need you, where do you hide?
The world says, “Mom is a child’s best friend.”
Oh mom! Why, you couldn’t comprehend?
To my childhood, your presence was ecstatic.
But I miss a mom, who has never been emphatic.
I left the house, which I thought was mine!
Still had a trust,

Where Water and Sky Entwine
And in meditation I drift
to where the water and sky meet,
on rolling waves bright blue and swift.
Oh, heavenly retreat,
here, I want to stay,
and sun falling-

The Past and Me, Entwine
My life has been a tangled path full of death and pain,
I have lost everyone that I love, they are just names;
Engraved in stone and those left, I seldom hear from,
I got tired of being the one to
