Walking Away

Whiff of Cold Air
As You open the Door and walk Out
I look
From the Window
Your arms crossed
Lost in thought
walking away from me.
I want to open the window
and ask you to stay.
Come sit down with me
Tell me all that you have been through
I need to know
The Fire that burns inside me is strange
It does not consume me
It just smolders on and on.

Across the table

Sitting across the Table from You
We are all chit chatting
Among all that Clamor
of small talks
and stealing glances
I want to look
deep into your eyes
and ask you
Why
I know you don't have an answer
I wish you did

Storm

A storm churns
Slowly grinding its way
leaving a path of destruction
I stand back
in Awe of Nature's fury
And for a moment I forget
The turmoil inside me
My Brain comes to a screeching halt
Like a defibrillated Heart
It starts back again
The Same circuits
The same tracks
It still leads me down the same path
the Dirt road, the smell of sand
Where we first kissed.

Light

I know well the Road
that takes me to You
I have made that Journey many a times in my mind
But every time I  have set out for my destination
Darkness has greeted me
Forcing me to stumble back
and wait for my time.
The Light of my life has gone missing
But I know
That one dark night
You shall come
With a Flame bright and shining.

Letting Go

And that's when He got up and walked away from it All.
A small figure disappearing into the Horizon
The Sun was still shining
Birds were still out
But Something was dead
And I could not pinpoint it.
I thought of stopping him
Calling out his name
But a voice inside me said
Let Him Go
It is not about finding Inner Peace
or coming to terms with Life
It is what it is.
Ashes to Ashes
Dust to Dust
And everything else in between.

Vision vs Illusion

I lack a Vision
A sense of direction
Anything and Everything can unsettle me.
I want to let go
and be Free
Like the river
Flowing and overcoming.
And then there is You
Seemingly at Peace
I know You went through Fire.
From being in Pieces
To being at Peace
Are you really there
or Like everything else in this world
An Illusion

Cowboy

I wish I was born with you during the Wild West
I would have stood up for you
With my Guns Drawn
Would not have let anyone Hurt You
They would have had my Bullets to reckon with
You would have walked the Town with your Head held high
Knowing that a Noble and Courageous man
Watches out for You.
And you know
That I would have taken any bullet meant for you
Proudly on my chest
Warm blood oozing slowly
With my head cradled in your Soft arms
A gunfighter's  ultimate wish
To die in his Lover's arms.

Fall ( Part 2)

Cold Wind Blows in from the North
I am going to be out walking tonight
There is something about cold nights
and Lonely walks
It brings back all the Warm Memories
Fall has not set in completely yet
I still hear the leaves rustle
A soft whisper
Did you just call my name ?

Event Horizon

I have Reached the Point of No Return
The Event Horizon of My Life
One more step
And I will leave my Past behind
The Past that shaped me
The Past that led me down this Path
This Black Hole is going to suck me in
Shred me into tiny pieces
And Spew me out the other End
There in the Nebula of  Gases
I will be formed again

Fear

I am so afraid of Losing You
That I have decided not to find you.
It is not the lack of your Love
That frightens me
It is the thought of having your Fleeting Love
For if my heart does not know warmth
It will be satisfied with the cold
If my Lips don't know your softness
They will be happy dry as they are
I don't want to drink
From Your cup of Life
Let it be full and brimming.

Colors

Tired of Words
I decided to paint a picture of You  today
But
I got stuck on the colors
I don't want to use black
For my heart is filled with hope
White is Pretty
But too bland for Love
Red is for passion
And Passion is not true love
Blue is for when I am missing you
And you are always with me
Green is  for envy
And envious I am not
Yellow is fever
And even though my love burns for you
It casts only a gentle warm glow
Violet is so  artificial
Like Money and Glamour
Orange is  pale
And You make my Life so rich.
I have to find
the true color of Love
The color of your Eyes
And your smile
Then only my Painting will shine.

You and Me

Holding Your Soul in one hand
And Your Heart in the other
I was trying to see
Which one is Heavier
But I guess I cannot break you down to pieces
For I would not know
How to put it all back together
I will take You as You are
Not a Contradiction
But a Fusion
Of Love and Suffering
Cold on the Surface
But Warm Deep Inside
And as the earth revolves
So does my Love for You
I see You
And I see You Not
