Speak to me and break this silence
Before it breaks my heart
Speak to me but don’t try to make sense …
All five of mine are senseless since she did depart.

Too Soon

We were so happy together … for a while
And then … the warmth went out of your smile.

Just Like Smoke

November 1, 2013Poemsend of the line, facing facts, grief, heartache, Just Like Smoke, love, passion, regret, Satori Publishingsatoripublishing2013

It’s been three long months since we parted
Three torturous months since you left me broken-hearted …
But now it seems as if the two of us never met
Vanished without a trace the love we once felt.

My Loving Murderess

November 1, 2013Poemsdramatic, end of the line, facing facts, grief, heartache, love, My Loving Murderess, passion, Satori Publishingsatoripublishing2013

All my emotions are shell-shocked
But my bank of tears is well locked
I will not pour out from my crying cup
I will not rant and rave till I am fit to drop
I will carry on through the rain and shine
I still have my Reason, though you are no longer mine
NO LONGER MINE!!! … Control yourself … control yourself …
The hands of Time – and your heart – were broken by her sweet self.

Too Beautiful

November 1, 2013Poemsjoy, love, passion, personal, poetic, romantic, Satori Publishing, seduction, Too Beautifulsatoripublishing2013

You ask me to recite poetry
But, in all honesty,
You are too beautiful for words
So I’ll just admire you – silently.

Mirage

This is no ordinary love affair
This is more than devil-may-care
Even the angels had better beware

When you’re in this deep
You’re bound to lose sleep
The path of love is steep

But the peak is the place to be
With you there beside me
Looking ahead – together eternally.

Convert

I never believed in love at first sight
Till I saw you –
I stumbled, as if I’d lost my sight,
And fell in love with you.

Kashmir

‘Kashmir, O, Kashmir,’ you were the last words
On the lips of a dying man
You moved a Mughal, and the common herds
Have been touched since the world began;

‘Kashmir, O, Kashmir,’ you are a haven for songbirds
You are a jewel set in a valley so rare
‘Kashmir, O, Kashmir,’ your beauty is beyond words
The woman has yet to be born who can compare;

Kashmir, your name is always on my lips
I love your majestic mountains crowned with snow
Your silver streams, and hills rolling like a woman’s hips
And your flower-choked lagoons that smell just so;

Time is the longest distance between two places
Kashmir, I work abroad but my heart remains with you
My mind’s eye can see each of your angelic faces
O, Kashmir, Kashmir, when I die I want to be buried in you.

In Memoriam

Give me full possession of your body and soul
And, just like that great Mughal,
To show you I’m no run-of-the-mill lover
I’ll build the Taj Mahal for you twice over …
Though it too would erode as time went by
Therefore I’ll write your name on every star in the sky.

Muse

After calling you my moon
I realise it’s not enough;
I spoke too soon –
The moon’s only worth half my love;

This time I’ll get it right:
Moonbeams are just a reflection
The main source of light –
You are my sun.

Beyond Compare

November 1, 2013Poemsaspire, Beyond Compare, higher ground, joy, love, passion, poetic, romantic, Satori Publishing, seduction, Shakespeare, timeless, universalsatoripublishing2013

Let Shakespeare compare his love to a summer’s day
Your worth can only be appreciated on a winter’s night
White snow, black ice, cold winds cannot hold sway
Your warm, warm body wrapped around mine so tight;

When you move the world stops to stare
You give me strength – and make me weak
Flowers are fair, diamonds are rare
But you are unique.

Father and Son

November 1, 2013PoemsFather and Son, grief, heartache, love, personal, regret, Satori Publishing, the dance we do, timeless, universalsatoripublishing2013

The stamp of failure is on my face
The brand of shame is on my eyes
The sign of rejection is in every place

I’m a foreigner in my own country
I’m a stranger among my own people
I’m an outcast by my own family

My sorrow is too great for it to be spoken
All my faith and dreams are shattered
There is no hope, nothing for the forsaken

You broke my heart in two
The moment you said you didn’t care for me
I stopped caring for myself too

Your subtle rejections cut like a knife
The damage is irreparable
You have scarred me for life

Just because I didn’t live up to your expectation
You should have still loved me as a father
All I ever wanted was to love you as a son.
