Sleepy sun

Wakes me in mornings

When I soak

Till my brim

Chances offered to me slim

Of the tanned comebacks

 

I hear you

In every footstep

That resounds

In the street

I wait for the day we’ll meet

In between moments

 

I relax

Clamour quieted

Your skin shades

Of everglades

The shadow of you now fades

As we rise to feat

Translation

Of movement in you

Lost in space

I retrace

Your body’s forgotten hue

The ink and the blue

 

When sun sets

I remember you

The sweet touch

Of your face

From a spent reality

In an unseen place

 

In eclipse

I reinvent you

Through the sight

In the night

When your features blurred in light

Rendering delight

I’ll be seeing you – Billie Holiday

I cling on

Like a wild creature

To the ghosts

Of future

Passing lines of your features

Relayed in outposts

 

Hopes in air

Redesigned by wand

The despair

Searing through

My looking glass as I scan

The road unraveled

 

Walk in pace

With me as I face

The swirling

Fail never

To whisper soft the reasons

Of changing seasons

Dance with me

Let the moon sway us

Persuade

Our footsteps

To overlook the darkness

On journey of light

 

Dance with me

Within me stored steps

Rival waltz

Of roses

I know how to strike poses

No foot opposes

 

Dance with me

Lift the darkened clouds

Bring colour

To the grey

Into your arms I will stray

Our embrace to sway

Rivulets

Straying past my feet

Overflow

Of water

Pinnacles of the movement

Lake’s meandering

 

Sand and mud

Alternate in space

Between toes

Under calves

Spring’s pallid sun shining through

A day at the beach

 

Images

Life in still motion

Teasing heart

Now departs

A million thoughts cascading

Flowing from my mind

Clouds gathered above

Movement back into winter

Spring’s blossoms swaying

 

Waterhen clucking

Seagulls flying in the sky

The canal flowing

 

Spring’s fight evolving

My inner realms revolving

Around shape of things

Practise me

Like a tired flame

Whisper slow

In my ears

I am drunken on the speech

All that we once were

 

Moments gone

Take me to the source

Of magic

My appeal

A winding staircase leading

To where I can shout

 

There are words

Definitions thrown

Like cardboard

To beggars

We sleep on them like white sheet

Gathering the ink

I was lost

In tempests I whirled

Agony

Defining

Stretch of imagination

Beyond all borders

 

Your blue heart

Revival of love

Enchanted

Melodies

Held in infinite embrace

I rise to your call

 

Bosom beats

To rhythm of soul

The notes set

In the air

My breath is for lung to pair

Within unity

Sun beyond winter

Spring’s magic in flowers’ touch

Waterhen that clucks

 

Branches in the stream

Tug of war of wooden limbs

Movement of water

 

The breath suspended

Particles alit in skies

The river racing

Sing me songs

In morrows’ valleys

I raise them

As white flags

Like when the souls come in rags

Elders to disguise

 

They bend low

Humility’s stance

The Royal

In the heart

Communion not counterfeit

Feature to repeat

 

The blank words

Welcome to my soul

They hurry

In tight pairs

To relinquish the control

When you find me whole
