[ INCONSPICUOUS ]


Hello, my love!
I have something to confess to you.

I have something to confess to you,
before I get inconspicuous again.
My life's a mess - wish I could
start anew,
with you by my side
again.

Hello, my love!
I tried to kiss a woman.

I tried to kiss a woman
who wasn't you.
But I jerked back -
frantic as a nightman,
after her face faded
and I saw you.

Hello, my love!
Do you still have that nightmare?

Do you still have that nightmare,
where I'm not clutching your hand anymore?
And do they go away
elsewhere,
when the man beneath you
tells you that I'm not there anymore?

Hello, my love!
I swear I'm not drunk.

I swear I'm not drunk,
because I have not forgotten
the shape of your dimple that forms on your right cheek,
everytime you blush.
Everything I held dear
has sunk,
including you, with golden hair
and blue eyes and soft thighs and scarlet lips and cute pinkies -
Oh, I can't control my blush!

Hello, my love!
Don't say goodbye so soon.

Don't say goodbye so soon,
as you already did that,
a couple of months ago.
You'll forever be my moon,
even if I'm no longer your star
like I used to, lightyears ago.

Hello, my love!
Would you leave me again?

Would you leave me
inconspicuous again,
even when I'm calling out to you?
Won't you wait for me in heaven,
if I conquer the seven rings of hell,
to unite with you?

DESULTORY REFLECTIONS

Desultory Reflections 20th April 2019 3:25 am The setting is the same. I'm spread out in my bed, my posture stuck somewhere between sitting and lying. I'm alone in my room, in the whole apartment in fact, alone as that time before I was born, a loneliness that's calling out to me, the only voice echoing along the walls, akin to death. The clock's ticking as it's supposed to, but I don't turn on the light to check the time, because the darkness has a solemnity about it, it's radiating a pseudo peacefulness that's pretty much impossible to attain in one's lifetime, and I'm reluctant to disturb it. Instead I tap on my phone and turn it off instantly. It's 3:26 am. I light another cigarette, dragging death in with a desperation that's masking my hopelessness. I release the smoke with a sigh, trailing my fingers through the smoke rings dancing in the dark, like midsummer shadows trailing in my past, before eventually flickering away, ...

HAVE YOU, TOO?

Image
I have dreamt a thousand dreams about you. During daytime, and at night. Have you, too? I have prayed for a thousand times to meet you. I have prayed, with the first rays of summer, with the falling leaves of autumn, with the last breeze of winter, and with the humming crickets of spring. I have imagined over a thousand ways to kiss you. Merely brushing your lips at first, followed by ensconcing them softly and taking in your breath, before bringing in my tongue, craving to feel a hundred different sensations at once. I have been awake for a thousand lonely nights, staring up at the stars, and whispering my one and only wish, frantically and beseechingly - that I can expect you to lie on top of me one day, embracing me to sleep. I have searched a thousand different worlds to find you. To unite with the other half of me. Because you're mine, and I'm yours, and I'll storm into the burning embers of hell itself to be with you. I have gazed at a thousand differen...

[ TWILIGHT ]

Image
I wonder If the moon stares at you The way I do. I rack my brains Standing under the November rains, Struck by lightning, By a thousand thoughts and reflections, On what it means to be awed by you - Everyday. I wonder If you still look at the moon, And think of me. The stars still transmit, They twinkle and sparkle With the decaying echoes Of the adolescent nights you spent, From twilight to dawn, From full moon to new moon, And new moon to full moon, With me. I wonder If the sun is to the moon What you are to me: Everything, everything. It's strange that The lost parks of this lost city Still dazzle the strangers passing by at twilight, Resplendent with the buried love Of a thousand lost souls, Of a thousand concealed promises, Of a thousand stolen kisses, Yours and mine included. I wonder If the shadows of the eclipsing moon Affect you, The way my thoughts do. The lingering traces Of your lips, Like the fading chorus Of an 80'...
