(Title: Couldn't Find One)

Of hearts, hushed beating
Of lungs, deep breathing
Of minds, no thinking
(Just bliss)
Of souls, meeting

Each cleaved to the other
By these flames
Bound, (willful slaves)
By these shackles
By these ties that bind
In a union unbreakable
Not even by death

A confluence of two lives
Birth of a greater stream
A flow so mighty
Nature doth not contend
That carves itself a canyon
In the hard crust of history
Immortalising flimsy flows
That alone,
(In the heat of life)
In this desert of loneliness
Alien to mists and rainfalls-
Of love, of laughter, of joy-
Beaten upon by a cruel and unforgiving sun,
Would have long been but dry and dusty gullies
Riding no more than whistling winds
Housing naught but snakes and scorpions
(And castaway demons?)
Shadows of their potential glories
Testimonies of loveless livings,
Forsaken of God...

Dreams & Wishes

I dream dreams of things I once dreamt of,
And dreamed tears stream their way down a dreamed cheek.
I wish wishes for wishes I once wished for,
And wishful sighs escape my wishful self.
When I remember... I die
Life loses meaning with the wishes and dreams-
To kiss you gently,
To hold your hand,
To frolic in the grass with you;
To give my love,yea,more to you,
And learn the hidden things of you;
To have you teach me how to dance;
To watch you sleeping in my arms;
To look deep in your lovely eyes,
And in them see me beauty ineffable
And the life that destiny us accords;
Dreams and wishes of a love struck romantic-
Gone
