patience
how much of it must one possess
to live a life in serenity
how much of it must one aqcuire
to face life's never ending battle
how much of it must one give
to learn the true meaning relationships
how much of it must endure
to be able to unmask everydays deception
While He Sleeps
I watch him breath heavily
As his touch reveals his past
And I look at all the long years
Of his life without me
I touch the deep lines on his face
Lines of wisdom and need
Signs of a life without amity
And years flooding with lust
Yet he lived and longed
Battered by life's uncertainties
Surrounded by living proof
of his indulgences
And now, I
Wiping out his years with my youth
Living with a glimpse of his past
Loving him forever
As he breaths on my face
And I keep him fragile in my arms
Kissing him
till his painful past is shunned.
A Date with Pain
What time was it? What day?
A cold dark night
Without any expectations
Till the glances unmistakably took place
Like lightning in the sky
Ripping our innocence to pieces
Leaving us powerless to nature's covetousness
As we instinctively fell empty
To the strings that tied us together
Into an entanglement we never knew
A knot we never thought would demolish the child in us
Yet we obliged so willingly
Ignored the signs of times
Opposed the power or reason
And denied the knowledge in our hearts
And the possibilities of regret
For we loved and we wanted love
We yearned for passion
And was lustful of the tortures of youth and time
We were ill from the past
And the miseries of wrongful play
And found restfulness in our secretive thoughts
And friendship in our discoveries.
We unearthed our desires
And delved into our juvenility
You and me without countenance.
As we lived and we loved.
And we dreamed and we took chances.
Till we stained our hearts
And blemished our thoughts
As we tortured and agonized ourselves
With sour notes and rupture
As we drowned in pain and regret
In estrangement and schism.
And we, living our days forsaken from each other
With a toilsome past
Of our date with pain.
must i
Today, like everday--
Is a part of my life that shall remain reserved.
You have completed my little heart.
Must I plead for more?
Not in this lifetime.
For you alone have taken my bleakness
And replaced it with flames of gaiety
And of passion.
Must I need more?
Nothing more but your meek touch
And your passionate words
And your unpretentious desires.
That fill me with hopeful gestures
And sweetdreams that last till dawn
And your hands that hold me unflinchingly
And squeeze me till I loose my breath
How can I not be grateful?
Your love has taught me to.
You nourish the weak and uncertain me
And pour your rain of kind days
And color my darkness to pastel expressions
Must I beseech for more?
How can I?
Im mute
From your love.
why?
why did we meet?
why did our eyes touch our souls?
why did our lips feel our minds?
only for a time.
and now we are part of the past.
were we too weak?
were our hearts too feeble?
or did we not love enough to surpass each new day.
we have settled to be part of the past
we did not dream to have a future.
its sweet trouble once banished sleep from our pillows.
yet now we are in peace.
you must be alone or with a more satisfying soul.
and i, living my life to be a better lover to my lover...
a better lover you never thought i was.
still furtively, i think of you.
and wish you well
and wish you love.
happiness will touch my heart
once ive learned that it has touched yours.
different skies
Now i am away
and our skies are different
we used to wake up and see the sun together
and we used to end the day watching the sun set
now my sun rises and your sun sets
and tonight, my sun has set
and your sun is just about to shine
are we that distant?
do the miles between us break our hearts?
must we not be closer?
must our love fail us
and my destiny unfold the unknown?
and my fears keep my tears from falling.
still i pray that your eyes are dry
and your tears never drip
for when it does, i drown
and loose my breath
and everything ends
in darkness.
