You

Your touch makes me powerless

I collapse like a shooting star

Into glittering shimmering gold dust

And blend into the thin air afar

Your warm skin melts me

Like an ice cube on a sizzling platter

I sublimate into misty steam

And then vanish from reality after

Your lips taste me as if I were

Hot and cold, sweet and spicy

Consuming me all at once

Leaving me parched as a pitcher empty 

As your gentle caresses explore me

The passionate touch gets me carried away

Like an orphaned boat while I calmly meander

The current comes and sweeps me away

You linger behind my shut eyes

And make my heart skip a beat

Leaving me longing for more

Until the next time we rekindle the heat

-2001

I am Waiting

I hold my sorrow deep in my heart

Behind locked doors.

I am waiting to see you

I know I will one day

And when that day comes

I’ll tell you all about my ache

The doors will open and I’ll tell you 

About the sorrow and heartbreak 

All that I experienced when you left

I’ll complain to you -How could you go

Without me be your side

You took a part of me with you-you know?

I  have not had enough of your love

I need so much more of it

I have not given enough back

I need a lot more time for it

I am waiting to tell you all about it

I have cried every day since you left

But only when I see you

Will I cry my heart  out to put this ache to rest

Grief

How painful is grief

How helpless is grief

Its a like a rock kept on the heart

While you are trying to get up an lead a life 

You walk around with this rock as if it does not exist

You move on as if nothing has happened. 

Once in a while, you notice the rock 

You get crushed under its weight

It breaks you, it takes away the earth from underneath your feet

It takes your breath away. 

It takes away a part of you each time,
 that you will never get back

Every night you sleep into nothingness

You cease to exist for a while

But when you wake up to reality

You wish reality were just a bad dream
