Aura of Mystery - A Poetic Quote.

The aura of mystery

that surrounds the lure

of guarded nonchalance

of well-reined emotions

wields more allure

than the plethora

of feelings on display

by dramatic exuberance.

Ravenous Beauty - A Poem.

Her beauty,

endowed & callipygous;

His opia,

intense & edacious;

Her flavour,

inviting & voracious;

His appetite,

fervent & ravenous...

After the Goodbye - A Poem.

At the end

of the stories,

when the feelings die;

Relationships

become histories,

& the tears run dry;

All that's left

is memories,

after the 'goodbye'.

Horrendous Memories - A Poem.

Grievous days

agonizing nights terrible

Memories return

with a vengeance

to sting, bite, tear,

mutilate the heart.

Icy shudders

the mind gasps...

How did I bear

such horrendous pain

& manage to survive?

Still surviving.

The Ghosts Remain - A Poetic Quote

Each day poses

a new challenge

but we face up

to the strain;

When fate

exacts revenge,

our efforts

are all in vain;

When our strength

does appear

& our fears

are finally slain;

The pain

may disappear,

but the ghosts remain.

Those who light your spark - A Quote

There are some

who douse

your raging fire,

only to make

their own tiny flicker

appear brighter.

And then there are some,

who offer their own glint

to light your spark,

protect, nourish & build it

into a flaming inferno.

A Sexy Woman - A Quote.

A woman 

with beautiful physical assets 

is sexy.

A woman with brains

that accompany her beauty, 

is sexier.

However, a beautiful woman 

who is brainy enough,

to bring out

the deadly combination

of guarded innocence

and aching vulnerability,

is the sexiest of them all.

Guile - A Poem.

Fatal knives

of raging desire

war with wounded pride,

electrified by bitter betrayal

that fans the fire,

with ghastly ticking

of burning time

& refuses to heal

vindictive casts

of damaging revealments

& low cunning

of human ingenuity

full of guile.

Mirage of Love - A Poem.

Harsh reality knocks

like a sharp lancet,

Shifting season shocks

amid fading forelsket;

Wrap of loss, stalks

like an ice-cold blanket;

Seeking nepenthe stocks

in nature's basket.

A lucid mind talks

reveals unknown facet;

Mirage of love mocks

in rhapsodic casket.

Respect - A Poem.

Respect the heartless

who teach

many lessons new.

Respect the heartbreaks

that invoke

prayers & poetry anew.

Respect the blessings

in your life,

so rare and few.

Respect nature:

mountains rivers seas

sunlight & morning dew.

Respect your being

& precious soul,

for life to renew.

Slice of Heaven

A slice of heaven,

in the saffron 

of the trees.

A touch of magic,

in the buzz 

of the bees.

A scent of bliss,

in the sway 

of the leaves.

A solace in greenery,

in the whisper

of the breeze.

Dormant Passion - A Poem.

Betwixt their eyes

lies the universe;

Knowing souls are wise

as hearts converse

Quandaries doth arise

secrets they nurse;

Dormant passion lies

in wait: a propriety curse.

Cosmic ties

for better or worse,

Love, in disguise

of lust, flows in verse.

Sweet Aches - A Poem.

In solitude

I discern

the masquerade,

as the last dream shatters

& ignites in combustion

of memories;

as broken promises

dissipate like vapor;

as frugal remains

of hope

disappear to return

again and nevermore,

to melt away

 the sweet aches

of our love.

Pirouette - A Poem.

In a pirouette

let me swirl,

into your heart

like a hurricane.

Sassy silhouette,

let love unfurl

splendid art

in the hazy lane.

Hurt - A Poem.

Soaring tempers,

senseless fights;

Sour memories

spin like ghouls.

Scornful spurns,

snubbing slights;

Sullen sulks,

moods are foul.

Hurtful words

of chilly nights,

leave bitter tastes

in the soul.

Shadows of Loss - A Poem.

A whim of a distant echo
of forgotten words
whets my appetite
for a glimpse of
moonlit nights
of shadows
of loss
of playing
with darkness
while silhouettes
of desire threaten
to lay bare the secrets
to unveil lost memories
from crevices of my soul.

Mutilated Heart - A Poem.

A mutilated heart, abandoned

but not empty, folds every

tiny fragment of memory

with exquisite care, into

hushed corners of woe

to rebuild & revive

to allow itself to heal

to refill spaces with joy

to revisit with fortitude

legend-worthy pathways

where angels walk with love.

Read Me - A Poem.

Read me,

like your favourite story;

Tune into me,

like a delicate melody;

Let me be,

your perpetual mystery;

Revisit my memory

as an enchanting history.

Walking on Skies - A Poem.

The calm darkens, 
spun upside down

betrayed & stung 
by artful lies;

She slays fears, 
repairs her crown,

severs & shuns 
painful ties;

Orange clouds beckon, 
sorrows drown,

In liberty she revels, 
walking on skies.

Warped - A Poem.

Dare I unlock the cage

of a heart destroyed,

with no hope left to show?

Can love assuage

to fill in the void

with a soothing glow?

Wary wars to wage

 in life, when fate toyed

with a warped blow. 

***

Follow your dreams - A Poem.

Follow your heart's desire,

and just go with the flow;

Unlock your hidden fire,

allow the flames to glow!

Let each day transpire

like there's no tomorrow;

May your dreams soar higher,

never let them go.
