Trust and Truce

You remember that particular, precipitous evening
when lavender skies shone through white windows?
There were birds, whispering flowers and winter chills
twinkling bangles, twirling dreams and twilight songs.
There were also those scents that spun ecstatic stories
there was a feeling of wonder, worship and erratic sighs
there was the splendor that inspired dreamless stupors
and the bejeweled princess ruled the rest of the night!

Why? That question doesn't have a meaning nor a chance!
What? The mere thought of two mortals in purest harmony
How? You and I! the milky way sings us a waltz and we dance!
Where? In the charm, the smile, the allure and the mystery
When? Eons will pause and listen to this incredulous journey!

But before that, my knight, I must ask you to grant me a wish
a wish of trust and truce! You have to trust life and its promises
You must believe in me! You must relinquish past associations
you must come to realize the orgiastic dream so close within reach!

My Verses

Are golden yellow threads that intertwine universes
they fly me on the shimmering blue wings of swallows
show me moon dreams, smile silky mimosa blooms
and they play with me under starlit summer skies.
They appear at random, defy my own stubborn will.
They unite me with an omnipotent source, the sacred Word;
its archaic meaning is beyond human comprehension
yet its simple rich sound evokes memories of a past,
of a distant planet where simple raw emotions exist.
The word sets the night on fire and ignites soulful passion
a deep hum resonates in the future, a billion years away!

Silence

It grips the soul and a stifled heart sprees
a dull gray shadow runs across the horizon
thick smoky blue fog rises above the trees
a dark force glints in those eyes of poison
without warning, it descends upon the world.

Walking Together

Why have not I ever noticed this before?

The elegant beauty of such a simple act

unassuming yet an intimate expression

A man and woman walking hand in hand.
