Beautiful things don't crave
attention because they
get it automatically
from those who
have eyes
that are sharp
enough to notice
& hearts that are large
enough to appreciate them.

Beautiful Things : A Quote
What are Feelings? : A Poem
A fleeting escape
to heaven or hell
in a surreal slide?
A dreamer's vision
a little magic
a mysterious smile?
Or turbulence
within silent oceans
a stygian tide?
What are feelings
but juxtaposed fancies
fond & fertile?

Explore : A Quote
Most beautiful beings stay hidden from view, until they are unearthed by the eyes that seek their solace.
Explore the beauty in others, to find peace in your own heart.

Shallow eyes : A Poem
Your demand for patience
I view with mounting pain
Your aching absence
I suffer, yet again.
Shadows grow longer
silhouettes of time turn
My shallow eyes tire
awaiting your return.

Frozen Flames : A Poem
Melodies of sunrise
in stunning aura
& frozen flames of
a scattered dawn,
herald new beginnings
of running from chaos
straight into dreams
of forever silence
& tranquility
in golden light
of an eternal summer.
Melodies of Sunrise : A Poem
Meditate upon
the frozen flame
of forever
silence of peace,
in golden light
of scattered
dawn
& absorb
distant realms
in the melodies
of sunrise,
straight into
welcome depths
of your soul.
Crazy Rhapsody : A Poem
Darling, in this drizzle,
there's you, there's me
& this crazy heat
between you & me.
Wet flames sizzle
in an eager melody
& raging rhythms meet
in thunderous rhapsody.

The Digital Ocean : A Poem
The digital ocean
is mighty & deep,
it threatens
to drown me
Slides & scrolls
steal my sleep
poems & emojis
define me
But my saviour
& upkeep,
my reads
sustain me
Pages I turn
to let words seep
into my mind
& relax me
I stay afloat,
sanity I reap
as oars of wisdom
refine me
Miracle of Faith : A Quote
We do not pray
because we expect
miracles
all the time.
We pray
because our faith
is a miracle in itself.
Into Your Arms : A Poem
Straight into your dream
she flees
running away
from fears
that haunt her
leaving behind
doubts
that plague her
bearing secrets
with smiles
that thrill her
seeking fruition
of flames
that arouse her...
Into your arms, she flees.
Confidence : A Quote
Her confidence sits
at the pinnacle
of her mind
as perfectly as
the ornament fits
on the clavicle
above her skin.
Dream or Destiny : A Poem
Running away
from her abyss
she endevours
to replace
cold spaces
in her heart
with warmth
empty palettes
in her soul
with colours
shadow monsters
in her mind
with light angels
straight into a galaxy
of wilderness
she sprints from calm
into eternity of chaos
called herself.

Let Her : A Poem
Let ur embrace
make her melt
Let ur kiss
make her insides churn
Let her feel
more than she's ever felt
Let her raging fire
make you burn...
Racy Rhapsody : A Poem
Let me take your hand in mine,
feel the magical melody
of mounting desire;
Let our swaying souls shine,
in the racy rhapsody
of hearts on fire...
Scars Simmer : A Poem
Stoic scars simmer
wounds, reluctant to heal
hope soothes like a balm
Unshed tears glimmer
numb heart, ceases to feel
chaos smothered by calm
Raging waves shimmer,
the ocean does conceal
whirlpools of the storm

Let My Ink Flow : A Poem
When will my ink flow
again, my love?
When the cool zephyrs
are laced
with warm scents
of your return
When the soft feathers
are rustled
with whispers
of your breath
When the still waters
are rippled
by the fluid waves
of my feelings
When will my ink flow
again, my love?
When peacocks sing
to the majesty
of the clouds
from a hidden alcove.
When the bells ring
in the distance
to chimes
of heavens above.
When the well-spring
of my soul is filled
to brim
with nectars of love.
Let my ink flow
again, my love.

Simple Joys: A Quote
We take
simple joys
for granted
because they
are available
in abundance
and for free.
Grounded : A Quote
The view from atop the clouds
is sweeter, esp after the hard climb of the mountain.
Enjoy the view, at the top while it still lasts. It won't last forever.
The descent down to earth is easier & faster, which is why the view is less exotic, but necessary, to stay grounded.
Order: A Quote
We waste half our life
in trying to restore
order in our
chaotic universe,
& the other half goes
in trying to undo the damage.

Achievements : A Quote
The greatest achievements happen regularly & randomly in obscure places by those who make no attempts to gain attention, recognition or fame.
Wings to Rise: A Poem
Whispering your name
in an endless dream
of sweet love
into my heart,
my neglected burns
find wings to rise
in the eternity
of our passion,
in the golden light
on sunset's shore.

Weary : A Quote
Weary of a selective memory,
that refuses to forget
all that deserves
no remembrance.

Splash on me: A Poem.
I'm a mess
of mismatched hue,
my darling,
how shall I paint
my love for you?
I'm a canvas
of willing spree,
my darling,
now will you splash
your passions on me?
Her Eyes : A Quote
Her kohl may accentuate
the twin windows
of her soul,
but you
are only
allowed to read
what she's willing to reveal.

Wicked Thoughts : A Poem
Let languorous lips laze
devouring heated skin
Set passion's fire ablaze
ripples in ensnared din
Let each osculate amaze
with angelic nectar, to win
Set senses in a haze
with wicked thoughts of sin.
Fragrance of Liberation : A Poem
Ensnared in passion's fire
of smoke & shadows,
my endless dream
of beautiful things
- splintered reality
in my passage
to tomorrow.
Bathed in guiding light
I inhale wisps
of whatever healing
the fragrance of liberation
blesses me with,
till a delicate peace
is reborn in my soul.
Cornflower Eyes : A Poem
Cornflower eyes
deep as the ocean
Blue as skies
clear & cerulean
Wanton & wise
wicked thoughts, aeolian
Subtle allure
sizzle of passion's fire
Silent cure
coax of needs, dire
Steady lure
ripple of mute desire
Ascent to Healing : A Poem
I crush
petals of betrayal
& drain the fragrance
of liberation
from intrinsic thorns
of splintered reality.
I walk
away from pain,
as wicked thoughts
of hurting you
as you hurt me,
of destroying you
as you destroyed me,
begin to resurface.
I climb
higher into healing
where volumes of silence
in my shattered soul
hope to find
unbroken peace
of letting go.
The Icecream : A Short Story.
Mine : A Poem
Flurry of smiles,
river of kisses
like dripping feathers
along my spine.
Searing touches
laden with promises
that you're mine,
only mine.
Do not...: A Poem
Do not cage her wings
from ability;
within her feathers
are hidden shades intense.
Do not mistake her musings
for frailty;
within her meekness,
lie bastions of defense.

Butterflies : A Poem
My gaze,
you unflinchingly hold;
With my mind, my heart wars
like a turbulence-ravaged sea
In a haze,
my besotted eyes behold,
a dance of dazzling stars
& butterflies leap within me...

Detours of Love: A Poem
Yesterday's tears
are yet to dry
My heart draws
on every ounce
of inner strength
& warns me
of sudden yet slow
curves ahead
between us
Beware! Unexpected
detours of indifferent love,
leave no last chance
to exit unscathed.

Lipstick : A Poem
Flavour of sweetness
shimmer of dew
a seasoned seductress
applies a deadly hue
Teasing his control
his senses led astray,
she is on a roll
in her enthalling sway.

I Dream of Us : A Poem
I dream of us..
sunshine & long walks
holding hands in spring
laughter & deep talks
our closeness will bring
starlight & moonshine
drenching in beams
of music & redwine
sharing our dreams
rain showers & wonder
snuggling near a hearth
cold nights & thunder
searching for warmth
When You Are Gone : A Poem
When you are gone..
I stare sightlessly
at fields so green
they hurt
my eyes.
I stroll aimlessly
in grasses so sharp
they stab
my soles.
I collect blooms floating
on waters so cold
they freeze
my palms
I control tears flowing
from eyes so full
they squeeze
my heart.

Faith : A Poem
When life seems vile
& devoid of shine
When hard toil is futile,
trust in the Divine.
No search for logic
no room for doubt
Only belief in the magic
of faith, is the way out.
Faith in the Almighty
rarely goes in vain
Rely on the Deity
to revive life again.
Untamed : A Poem
Untamed heart
unafraid to die
she shoots a dart
with each practised eye
From a glade
of boundless grit
from worlds made
of sweat & spit
In a tender scorch
of heretic solitude
blazes her torch
of indomitable fortitude
