Beneath the inscrutable sky, blinded by divided eternities,
We are islands of yearning, adrift in fate,
Each bearing a mysterious longing, a desert within the chest,
And with every heartbeat, my sorrow robustly grows.
Fate, the ancient dramatist who in astral maps has decreed
That we be star-crossed lovers, struck by the curse of the falling star.
Painfully sweet is our allotment, a share of shadow and nectar,
Tasting fleetingly, in profound flight, from the sweetness of ephemeral intimacy.
This is the light we endeavor to clasp tightly,
Like Odysseus, shipwrecked in an epic of froth,
Clinging to the beam that thrashes amongst the violent and caustic waves.
You remained locked in a loveless alliance, you've watched too long.
Belatedly, we discovered each other, drawn by a sublime magnet,
Which seemed, in its ephemeral moment, too intense to be contained.
And thus, nature staged its wild banquet,
A cruel show, unintelligible to hearts, stealing away our happiness.
Thrown from heavens tides,
an embryonic entombment drowning in desire…
For I have seen the face of an angel,
bending realities before my despondent eyes…
Where for the beats of my hapless heart,
sending signals to your ravaging realm...
I stand before you a christened Knight,
my pulchritudinous princess of spades…
A melancholy madman marooned on distant Dunes,
as your daggers of love penetrate my pensive passion…
And thus I stare at the monolithic moon,
asking for twilight beams to chariot your embrace…
For I am lost within your nebulous perfidious presence,
and yet I wait for your return like a cataclysmic comet…
Warping my space-time and hemorrhaging heart.

Circle of a world
one halo shining bright
surrounds warm breathless beauty
Sweeping warm held inside
addiction of need
A lion roars taming the beast
Heartbeats run wild free and skipping
hooked under one bridge of a promise made
Colours in sunshine mist bouquet
In the end holding preciously
hands with you
drifting into your golden light
Eden capturing to a soul true
starlight shines in one out of a million dreams
Fountain mirrors glisten
From the source sparkling
chandeliers light up
once happiness enters
Charms each morning
kissing delight
looking into your eyes love
Amazing beautiful
eclipsing words lost of this earth
an angel of grace
Arises holding spotlight
dazzling visions
sings back smiles in your praise
All the days, I’ve not so patiently waited, waited for the one, the yang to my yin.
Brevity precluded me enumerating all the subtle joys of you, yet, your eyes,
Charismatic orbs of jovial laughter, crinkled from sunny days, and blue as sky.
Dangerous man you are, yet, the gentleness you show to me knows no bounds
and, I would wait another eternity, if only you could guarantee to end life with me.
