My boyfriend is
smoking hot.
I kid you not.
Under that hood
I understood
lay my destiny.
In the dark I 
felt the spark
as we passed.
Love to last.

Tempter shrouds his cold flame 
hovers dwelling in pleasure,
with no remorse 
to lay a kiss
on the sleeping soul at their weakest
as they lodge in fear.

His world
hangs on a wall.
His wheeled chair
sits in a corner.
His tillered escape –
the Barque,
Astral Traveler.

uncertainty
moods unresolved,
a nothingness
a stasis,even-
fluid thoughts
preoccupied
in a steady stream
of misgivings:
variable motifs
shadow play
in an instant
dissolve,evaporate
into a oblivion
of emotional 
frustration...

A sari of soft silk
I drape your fluid grace
Flowery motifs your curves seek
Satin skin they embrace
Feather fabric you wear
Become fashion bird, fly in flair.

A night walker you’re lost in the dark
In life forlorn unseen dangers lurk
I’ll show the way, destination bright
For you I glow, your ornate road light.

It’s not hooded evenings
Which leaves me desperate
     But the alienation from self-esteem -

     And no one can trace such loathing
For veil of blindness rips induced apathy.

In the dead of this cold foggy night,
is this the spirit of Jack the Ripper
or the Boston Strangler prowling 
the silent streets...
or someone’s imagination running wild?

Design your space
With light in place


Spread thought refined
With profound lines


Apt motifs tell
How ideas dwell


Come to know truth
In ample proof


As feelings ace
Trace your sure space

Smok’n hot in his black suit,

a cool dude - he’s not.

Sickle swings shattering glass -

silencing bitter sand.

Your ignominious ghost

broods your grim image,

under the reaper’s hood.

Grimly he comes.
Day after day,
hour upon hour
second by second -
for centuries
into eternity.
The face 
beneath his dark hood
he will reveal
when he comes
for you.

I have crossed oceans
Tasted salt of discoveries;
Allowing strangers
To become families.

Now I am older, yet new allies
Beyond map's horizon 
Still rouses thirst
For unknown destiny.

Glassy lamp  flickers
to expose her quiet vulnerability,
while fingers thumb pages
of his delayed letters---

Hiding in tenebrous light
she quavers relentlessly,
knowing it’s time for goodbye 
come morning.
