He always wants more...
Than breaths could offer;
Life drives to the core
Into love's coffer.
She wish to be it,
Than complaints could earth-
Worries of his ...
Living dreaming mirth.
Both ain't enough one,
For each other's taste,
Yet balling off fun...
Time tags ALL but waste.
What a joke for truth,
None value being youth.
(“The Longest Journey”, 2017, original encaustic)
Remember now
Without a doubt
The source of all you dream
The source of Life itself
Your home when there was no other
Your home before you ever left
To begin the greatest journey
Your long and winding road
To this very moment
Nowhere else to go
But here and now
Nothing else to know
But this source
Shining in ever new forms
Smiling in the face
Of danger, suffering, confusion, doubt
Shining with the morning Sun
With light that’s never really gone.

I love you babe
You know I do
And I just want
To be with you
To do the things
I know you like
To make you smile
Behind that mic
To get your eyes
To look at me
I'll wink at you
No one will see
The secret of the onyx ring
It sums it up
Everything
I'm the band
And you're the stone
Inseparable
Never alone
You are far away
Perhaps we will never meet
But when I look up
You're the only one I can see
I love to look at you
Your beauty is gorgeous
They say I am a fool
Who is dreaming of you
We are inseparable
Maybe because we never met
But whenever I look at you
I can see a beauty no one can ever have
I don't compete with death
in fair certainty
that together we will arrive...
Many times on my couch I lie
In a vacant mind or pensive drift
Wondering and pondering
Why the thought of my mom
Doesn’t go off my busy mind;
Ever after she is no more
Is it ‘cause of being a chip off the block,
Physical bond, blood relation,
Evolution - in womb,
Umbilical connect, love,
Care and grooming.
In many instances stepmother
Or a sibling, or a dad or others
Have filled the void caused by
dead mothers or adoption per se
Is is because of gratitude or
selfishness or emotion or admiration
Is it food, clothing, shelter, love
Security, protection and support
Nothing withstanding.
Very surprising that this love for mom
exists till the *** end of one’s own life.
Why and how?
For sure I don’t have an answer.
Mothers may know it best!
Love and poetry, inseparable siamese sisters ever
Jerry and I were inseparable then
straight and tall
high school buddies
we had it all.
The girls favored him
heart-melting smile
the epitome of class
the essence of style.
But I won over a few
'twas only so much of him.
I had sweet Patricia
who loved me to the brim.
The day came when we parted
Jerry chased what he wanted to be.
He chanced upon me after fifty years
disbelieving what he did see.
Never-resting time chisels marks
on every frame.
And what we once were
can only in memory remain.
I sport a mask, not to mention the fog
Yesterday I tripped on a huge log
Specks need; built-in wiper
Didn’t see the sly viper
To top it off, I conversed with a hog
*I wear glasses, and wearing the mask
my glasses fogs up when I breathe

An energy field,
Once you get in it, you will be stuck in there forever,
She will captivate your mind and spirit.
Your body might be able to escape her spells,
but your thoughts, emotions, and senses will worship her...
Don't beg for your freedom,
I have seen her pulling the likes of you and me,
Like a Leopard pulling her victim with a sufficient amount of certainty.
Even if,
She sets you free, it's one of her charming tricks,
Without her blessings, you will be lost male energy in
an endless universe owned by her.
Ourselves, executants of our sentient being
At which our affection started flaming
We are inseparable by nurturing
Upon our blest with agreeing
To cherish each
With a full reach
The day by day 'I adore you, saying
Our desire, never-ending
The very thought of you
makes me happy and keeps me true
What would my world be
without you loving me
Your smile so inviting
Your kiss so exciting
Your touch no denying
I love you
Inseparable
nothing can come between us
Inseparable
no one else would ever do
Inseparable
nothing can come between us
Inseparable
knowing you love me true
It isn't magic nor a spell
It isn't a wish from a wishing well
It isn't a dream nor hoping hope
It's your love that's got me rope
Your one of kind
Your mine all mine
And I'm happy to be
loving you with you loving me
Inseparable...
You possess the unique ability
to make me feel alive,
whenever I'm close to you.
The first time I heard you speak,
I was instantly attracted
by your charisma.
Like an indescribable force:
it drew me to you.
Your captivating presence enthralled me,
and I slipped into a fanciful stupor:
oblivious to reality's boundaries.
Our time together
is filled with metaphors and surreal imagery:
you're the artist, and I'm your brush:
the world is our canvas.
Your beauty rivals Aphrodite,
the Goddess of Love.
And your tender touch fuels emotional fires,
that fan passion's salacious flame;
making my pulse rise and my heart pound!
Fate chose you for me, and me for you,
melded together, we are inseparable:
eternally conjoined in heart and soul.
Spooned together they held a silver moon in their hearts
Lined their bedspread and table with memories of one star
Moulded from cloud dust to the sound of lush orbital spin
It never mattered who brought food for their regular feasts
Whether fast food or a la carte menus or a bunch of grapes
Maybe two olives draped onto a lavender wreath offering
They never lost passion for dining al fresco or lined in silk
Robed or naked they followed courses of harvest and joy
At times poverty struck but they always grasped full measure
For compassion and kindness needed no fancy embellishment
Their spoon was pewter not golden and gathered life’s patina
But they polished in rag clothes or satin and shone all the way
At times they painted words on skins in crumbs and sweet sauce
Licked kissed and savoured what mixed with fragrant side dishes
Received what’s on offer and scooped up refection and gratitude
03rd October 2019
Seize me by lips
It’ll be kiss
Seize me by sight
It’ll be love at sight
Seize me by two hands
It’ll be hug
Seize me by breaths
It’ll be closeness
These all will be our magnetic lust and gratification love
I’m not near, yet, you’re in my mind of activeness
You’re afar, yet, I’m reminder of your chores
Love stays alive; awaken as the life of soul connection
This is best from both of this form
I don’t want go in this argument
Let’s come we both close together to the womb of lotus
Though we live afar yet it makes one core of hearts church
