Canvas


The urge surges;
visions transpire.
Passion ignites,
and sets me afire.

Standing before me naked and bare,
drenched in light,
silent and still,
she submits tamely to my will.

Her textured skin whispering,
tattling tales of infinite promises;
as my fingertips, ever so keen,
tender and fervent,
trace the UNSEEN!

A temptress, she seduces me;
no chance to revoke.
Entranced and spellbound,
I give her life with every stroke.

When the ordinary and the conventional
are but a dark prison;
born to bear my mark,
she, is the emissary of my vision!

Without bounds or limits we dance;
we wager it all on one more chance!
My uninhibited lover,
my mistress,
my canvas!!!

Tear


In the silence of the days passed
and the uncertainty of the days yet to come
as the autumn moves across my skin
I shed a tear

I have hated and I have loved
I have failed without regret
and I have rejoiced in triumphs
and now, frozen in time in between
I shed a tear

The mind fatigued
I stand tall and refuse to kneel
for my relentless heart will never retreat 
A thousand thoughts, all obscure and obsolete
I shed a tear

My words echo to an undecipherable hum
My image fades in the passing crowd
The sound of my footsteps
marching to the beat of my heart
walking empty streets
I shed a tear!

YOU!

Intoxicated beyond measure; 
the wine, 
YOU!

Thunderstruck and dazed, 
my heart stolen; 
the thief, 
YOU!

Conscious or slumbering, 
sensing or numb, 
my only aim, 
YOU!

The day and the night, 
the sun and the moon; 
the source of all light, 
YOU!

You, the bidding, 
and you, the requisite; 
the road and the destination, 
YOU!

You, the ailment I suffer; 
and my only cure, 
YOU!

Clandestine and enigmatic, 
you are the secret; 
the key to this riddle, 
YOU!

You, the fertile cloud, 
and you, the rain; 
the “beginning without end”, 
YOU!

I’m lost and bewildered; 
for there is nothing but you, 
yet all there is, 
is YOU!!!
