When you dream
do you kill me in your sleep?
When you wake
am I the thought that makes you weep?
When you walk
do you see me in your shadow?
When you speak
do you hear me in your echo?
When you breathe
do you feel me in your breath?
When we touch
do you know that I love you to death?

I read the journal you wrote
with your eyes and your soft, lullaby sighs
as you played me note for note
in your thighs and your soft, lullaby lies

eyes crossed
tease dotted
stripes lost
tossed
and besotted
the bees lost
the eyes have it
blind as they may be

Roses never die
let alone weep

All my life
I have sung praises
for roses

O Rose,
do pose
with a rose

My Valentine
be mine
with a Rose...

and

on lapels of Kings and Queens
Ah! Many worlds’ ministers
Rose was the flower

Roses are never ever dead,
in the far phases of eternity
in sweeter memories
we all but roses see

We know now for certain
roses lay in library books
the original fragrance of
a memory of the one
who gave you
one

sweet nothings
after-glowing
glide
tenderly
mingling
love's sheen
like liquid starlight
dripping
fragrant
kisses
lingering
mid-air
fading
slowly
reluctantly
into sleepy
invisible
silence

prone
lay low
the wind will crawl
and find you
skin and bone
a fixture
bathed in the cool television
flow
flowing cast on the ripples of
your spine curled inward
the stretch of ribs
undulating
to the sharp angled hip
tilted leaning
and beneath
the darkness
of the buffer floors
from the street
through the doors
you floated like a traveller
on a breeze
of frost
the chill in your teeth
as pure as a white
hour
overcast sunday

fading..
like memories
kept in a bottle

changing..
the seasons
that slip by

remembering..
a love lost
through time

finding..
the simple truth
in love

breathing..
like years
that past by

echoing..
15 years
of co-existence

YES but of course
In 1998
specialists gave me
just 6 months
no less no more

I looked inside my mind
and am I alive
tis
2014
coz
you all had to read me
am I
an Apparition
a GHOST !
search me

I still am alive
OR
am I?

Loved to Lovedly

This IS Madness, I say!
I wish it will go away
but the error in connection,
keeps haunting me for no reason!

"Website cannot be displayed?
Is this some sick joke, mate?"
I asked my computer
but I get no answer.

My patience grows thin
as the seconds tick away.
Why do I keep stumbling
for two whole days?

Help me, friend,
I'm at my wits end.
The problem keeps repeating,
making me feel like weeping.

CREATURES

My strength is waning
and my will grows weak.
What are these creatures
dark and unforgiving
that bind my soul
in chains of fear
and sicken my heart
to near dying.
