Sometimes we observe a great sense
of negativity arise,
feel pressure in mind, so intense;
Try to believe life with no love;
baffled, demoralized kind of
pulling down our proven mindset
feel stunned, visualize false threat.
But, surrender needs no defense
to HIM, despair vanishes; wise
thoughts appear, life's trueness commence.
Practise silence taking sort of
break from social networks thereof
to feel quietness, peace; forget
for few days using internet.

Don't say to forgive you from heart;
it's too late, how to forget those
days, when the kid played lone in dirt.
How to bury those memories
of parent-teachers' meet in school?
Staring at parents of every
classmates, standing alone like, fool.
Why did you not care while depart?
How can you return my fourteen
years of boyhood; you broke my heart.
My best baseball deliveries
others' parents cheered, I played cool;
Never enjoyed bedtime stories
what's my fault, why you're so cruel?

Outside new rose buds contemplate
the future, should we bloom or no,
and tempt our own vermillion fate?
We are not winter's afterglow,
they muse, but amulets of grace,
consider buildings stacked in place
without decorum or brio!
Which is the greater of the two
in March--intentions must not mar
the garden cloister--to eschew
the world or flutter like a star
or horse manes lilting in the breeze?
Remember thus: our pedigrees
grant entree to a love's boudoir!

If love is lost for evermore
my heart will surely fade to naught
and life will be an endless chore.
Tormented eyes that beauty sought
would pierce the air in anguished pain,
my love's unwritten song in vain
if you should leave my soul distraught.
Yet hidden in the azure skies
I feel your love return my gaze
and in my dreams invoke my sighs.
My heart is yours for all of days
through winter sun and darkest night
and in the ancient mystic ways
our love will stand in its own right.

Can words be mine in pen and ink
if they can write without my hand
the odes, like strangers, make me think.
For love I cannot understand
but in poetry I can find
the words that say what's on my mind
by carving names into the sand.
As tears now flow beneath the stars,
will my love see the bright moonlight
and will the night always leave scars.
My dreams I hide from wisdom's sight,
the heart in secret cannot show
how you remind my pen to flow --
yet it's for you alone I write.

I see you arching under me,
the dew of passion on your skin,
as bodies strain for liberty.
Our quest together, love within
a calming serenity's spin,
the physical unites with dreams
and sustenance in wanton screams.
Can phantoms of pleasure relate,
the fevered moments such as this
as nerve-endings reverberate.
We are as one in love's abyss
and all I am is all you are.
Daylight reminds, you are so far
and leaves me yearning your sweet kiss.

My love, my heart, it’s not been long,
but has been many lives before,
for passion is an ageless song.
Our souls have joined in love once more,
the joyous love that is our core.
To kiss your lips is tasting love
and reach the shining stars above.
But time apart is slow and dull,
alone I have no reason why
the poet left to muse and mull
of when I see the twilight sky
by gazing deep into your eye,
I touch the worlds beyond divine,
when in your arms, sweet love of mine.

Why should you mean so much to me?
In all this world, it is you alone
who fills my heart with love’s decree.
In winter’s wind your love is shown
a ray of sun, a warm embrace,
the mystery of passion grown,
where silk and roses interlace.
Why you and not another heart,
can lose my senses with one glance
but then you’ve had me from the start.
A single word, desire’s romance,
as odes of love our lives enhance,
like magic from a wishing-well
your heart has wrapped me in its spell.

Each time you call my name I seek
the feeling of your gentle kiss,
I hear your voice, it makes me weak.
In love's embrace yet still I miss
the caress from an angel's lips,
my mind needs more than parti pris
to lose my heart to love's eclipse.
You touch my heart beneath moon gleams,
to woo my mind and win my soul
with whispered thoughts, you feed my dreams.
Sweet-talk my heart, with words cajole
my feelings, with a push and shove
you show me how in you I'm whole
and dance me to the world of love.
