time is a luxury I beg of you to afford
give me this gift to...

I've been blinded by your sentiment,
and awoken by your sweet cologne,
like our sweet morning regiment,
we don't live in a house, but a home.

I see my pugs silly smushy face,

I tiptoe up behind you and tickle your waist.
You jump and squeal with laughter.
You put the ingredients on the work surface.
And pickup your sharp knife...

Unwind


I see before me an interminable
Ages and hours repeated in seconds
Their voices I never heard
Stretch out
Creep-able 

Yawn at the very least !

Un- breathed promises
To wait
Garrotte the days
Before they have happened
Twenty-four hours
To the next one

I see...

On a blustery winter night my loved one comes to dine.
The table is set for two in front of a cheerful fire and 
a candle flickers in delight beside one perfect yellow rose.

and other flowering plants,
a bit more removed from the racket of passing cars, 
the tiny music of forks tapping porcelain dinner plates.

A fuchsia sunset,
a vacant room in the inn 
with a vista near the sea,
inhaling your sweet scent
that lingered and excited
as we hugged each other on the porch.
The calm sea flowed into the bay,

i figured it out.
I'm not sick without you
I don't even miss you.

If we, 
The words whisperer,
Are the ones that have the power 

Of the silver quill, then 
Let us move, in oneness,
And versify the earth

With more crème caramel
And not of salt,
Nor, of vinaigrette;

Let’s cultivate our thoughts

They came together, love entwined,
When stars in heaven were aligned.
But their love hit a hurdle,
When their vinaigrette failed to curdle,
