Burned Memories

Once i remembered,
The times when we rode on canvasses of pink pearls.
Once i remembered,
The scorn upon which we forged our cares.


We sat under the mango tree of fantasies.
Looking at the ants as they march up.
We looked upwards into the skies of laughter.
As the downpour of rain settled as tears upon our eyes.


We smiled with the rainbows.
Beside the lake of silence.
In the dark tunnels of our affections.
Loopholes were found chasing the doors of rejection.


You looked upon my flaws,
And smiled with a cheerful grin.
Then boiled up the hurricanes,
That swept away the debris of our ruins.


We sailed on oceans of passion.
Driven by fountains of desires.
Flowing out of our hearts.
Into the abyss of our consummation.


I wrote my fears on red papers.
An burned them in your eyes.
Our souls swam in crystal waters.
Surrounded by blue fireflies.


Once i remembered.
How love came on calling,
my name upon the shoulders of your care.
Looking out to the winds,
hoping I will be there.


Once i remembered.
How we drank the wine of sensuous kisses.
Intoxicated to daydreams..
As we strolled round galaxies of stars.


Once i remembered,
how you cried in the absence of my presence.
How you got strength.
From the cuddling whispers of my silence.


Now I've committed my thoughts.
To gather these diaries and memoirs.
And perform the ceremony of cremation.
Pouring the ashes into the sea of the past.

Muted Conversation IX

Tonight i would stay awake and think about how we eloped into mysteries. You came in and stuffed my mind with effervescent chemistry. I couldn't breathe. All i knew was, i wanted to strip you naked and disvirgin your imagination with words borne from a heart yearning for intimacy. But i was dumb... silence gagged me like a prisoner tortured by the snares of grief. All i could see was temptation staring at me in stern disbelief. "Do something" my alter ego would say. But all i could do was take my mind on a erotic spree to love's garden. I would take your hands and slowly caress them light and thin. Hypnotizing my senses into the pores of your skin. I wanted you to feel what i feel. I wanted to dissolve into your memories and hack them with images of me. I wanted to wet the appetite between your thighs with testimonies of godliness and raw passion. I wanted to perform the ceremony of consummation. I would look at you and break into a smile governed by naughty ideas and...

Sunbeams

The sun beams its rays of light Into an eerie fog of darkness. Paving way for joy to dance its way Into the shadows of night. Surreal silence then decides to prey On this joy, transforming it to fear. The fog then morphs into faces of demons. Dining in a feast of fright. The sun beams again to disrupt the darkness And chaos sets in. The mind of joy enlivens into straws of hope. Standing in a congregation singing. "Rays of joy...rays of spoil. Shine with colors that destroy. Rays of joy, come restore. Beams of hope and faith employ To a heart so frail and thin And a mind, timid and weak Shine with grace so strong and heal Open wounds and age long scars" The sun beams now rays of hope. Forming a rainbow in a desert of whispers. Reality becomes a dream. Blistering fantasies into the winds. Then suddenly i wake into shards of loneliness Beaten by the fray of a long lost bond. The sun beams onto my face As i look out to the window Staring at nothing. H...

DREAMS

I Dreams flutter around my head.. As i sit down, eating beans and bread.. Dancing in my mind are mangled hopes. Entwined like a labyrinth of many ropes.. Fighting against the wiles of profanity.. The mind wanders through the plains of Sagacity.. Trained like a monk, to show no pain.. The soul becomes undaunted, in the midst of rain.. Zeal becomes the madman who, In his quest for knowledge, becomes the fool.. Who acts irrational, hated by them.. Who lack discipline, and courage to stand firm.. But through it all, dreams will live on.. Even in the shadows of a dying sun.. For by it, memories still will remain.. In the remnants of time, for they, who lived not in vain.. II There is a garden in the city of the mind.. Where dreams were sown, nurtured and grown.. The farmer was a different unique kind.. With the wisdom to discern the seeming unknown.. With an understanding of the times and seasons.. He made sure no crop withered or died.. He lived in the hut of logical rea...
