Said they,

the eternal

Quest of man is to seek.

The truth. The new.

The reason for our being,

perhaps.

Yet mine ended the day

I had all for myself,

Why seek another world,

When I have you.

Of lies and

of all things old

I cherish dearly

that single moment

you wiped the past clean

of demons that

waged littler wars

in my head and my body

ridden with reminders,

of wounds and scars.

You became the reason to

start afresh,

A chance

so criminally rare

Accorded to so few.

You are my truth.

You are my new.

Bigger purposes.

Greater conquest.

For power. Or fame.

In glory and in shame.

The world has seen

Them all.

But none come close

To finding one’s true self

That’s willingly lost

in another soul.

In life and death.

Together or apart

In you my love,

My capricious soul

sleeps deep,

in a peaceful rest.

All my losses and

all that I lost

dint' go in vain.

For the only battle

That mattered,

I won you.

To you I bow

To you I surrender

Truly.

Unconditionally.

This lifetime.

And all of next

To you I bequest.

Wide awake in your love

I sleep, I sleep

in a peaceful rest.

Wish my love!

On a night as clear as tonight,

Under this spangled tapestry

Lying besides you,

Awash in all its moon lit glory

I wish you'd ask for the stars

Then I would borrow

and melt

Some of the radiance around

And bathe you in it.

But no beauty on earth

would match

The glint in my eyes

That's come to be forever

Each time there's a smile

On your lips and

that beautiful

face of yours all alight.

Just as my heart soars

at the sight of you.

Wish my love

For all our dreams to take flight.

I wish you ask for a song

Then I would make you an anklet

Of stolen sounds from

The rustling of leaves

And swish of the wind chimes

That breaks through this quiet.

I would read the words

On your lips, in your eyes,

Unspoken. Unsaid.

And all that is my heart

Whispering them softly

to you as you hum along.

Just as the each dying star

bring with it a little faith.

Wish my love

For us to forever,

in one another, belong.

I wish I had died because

Then it indeed would mean

I was in heaven.

Where else would an angel have

sought my hands, entwined,

as we walked on clouds.

I counted my blessings

On my fingers.

But my hands are full ,

with your love,

Nestled deep and tender

in the puddle of my palms.

Then there's you by

my side,inside.

And I counted eleven.

Just as I got my wish

Wish my love,

May all that your

Hearts's desire be granted.

Amen! Amen!

BlackOut Tales

The flicker caught my sleepy eye

half shut in the middle of a dream.

And I let a smile escape, a smug one,

as surreal as it may seem.

Like a happy child with

colored candies all licked,

lest you had to share and

a sound beating be risked.

And then the curve inverted

as the flame died.

The dying aroma 

of the scented candle

Lingering on,

in an abyss dark deep and wide.

Annoying,

like the ringing of an alarm

That's gone off,

just when your snooze

slid into deeper waters.

Bathed in serenity and

in the embrace of calm.

And the clock far enough,

out of reach

So you have to move an

inch onto colder sheets

When it has taken

all night of warming.

Like sand arts built

and swept off at the beach.

Now I wonder

of the rough territorial wars

That predators fight.

It's the sense of belonging and

what's yours

Not a question of might.

The want to keep it all

for yourself and to shield

wandering off will only

dilute the power you wield.

I won't light another match

And I sure as hell won't wake.

The buzzing suckers

can have a field day

I'll be the sloth and

won't even swat,

Those blood mongers can

Take the cherry

and while at it ,eat the cake.

I solemnly resolve to not

Relinquish .

My warm bed

And comfortably fluffy pillow.

A battle of will.

Even if it means my dreams are now

Black and white in the dark.

Like the night sky bereft of its moon

The hour is nearly up and

The power should be back.

Anytime.Soon.

I wish. I wish.
