Words come , words go
My thoughts tonight as taut as rope
Just when the serein makes its final bow
In cold waters my feet i soak
As i walk down the gateways of the mind
Where i am engulfed by grief and serenity
I never saw you leave as if i was blind
And the thought of it brought my heart calamity
peu à peu comme une rose
quand vient l’automne
je t’ai vu faner
devant moi tout lentement
je n’aurais pas cru
voir éclore entre nous un amour si serein
garni d’un parfum plus divin
tu m’as offert l’intimité comme un trésor
que l’on offre sans rien à cacher
d’un cœur innocent
cette proximité restera toujours avec moi
tu seras en tout temps l’amour de ma vie
je n’aurais jamais osé croire
devoir un jour te dire adieu mais voilà
Translated from my poem YOU WERE MY HARDEST GOODBYE
AP: 2nd place 2021
a sanguine set of sun
descants the symphony
of ocean's pulse
within the confines
of my soul
i find serenity
in the depths
of its hold
as my heart
serenades
in quickened strums
beneath the rise
of misted breaths
within the serein
of smoother skies
as they break
cloudless
above the wake
i feel the quake
of tongued whispers
as sand surrenders
below the wave's
firm caress
hear the moans
in climatic gusts
as they thrush back
through the lure
of depths unknown
searching for something more
than this repetitive pressure
against its shores
my mind contours the same
through the grains of time
shattered in memories of fate
where soul escapes briefly
in salted stains
across folds
of ivory flesh
unseen
After
sunset
fine rain
falling
falling
without
clouds to
be seen
"Suh-RAN"
is how
you say
the word
a nice
one that
my ear
has heard
The wind whispered her shy
song
And graced her stride serene
She glanced at rivers gloating by
And seduced her gods with ease
The gate of heavens opened
wide
And came thence flaunting pride
The chivalrous rain that drizzled
by
To cuddle the wind ,his bride.
With dainty charms,she stole a
peak
At her groom with august
cheeks
She blushed and hid beneath
the veil
Of happy rustling leaves..
A frivolous urge to taste her lips
Had conquered his strong mind
He cajoled his woman in his
arms
And slept her by his side
The arch of colours filled the sky
And the earth now smells divine
The birth of peaceful ambience
strikes
The world with dazzling sights
I want to peg you away
and stablish you on my lips
until the break of day
I'll slowly take a sip
I want to peel you
as you reminisce in your care
I'll hold you
and tear away your fear
My fat juicy and clean
loving you is easy
your taste so serein
so refreshing, so squeezy
I want to strip away your bark
hold you close to my heart
light away your dark
and moment by moment take you apart
