There will be a single spark of light.
But not from the stars. Because even them,
they have shied away and have forgotten.
Here, only from my birthday candle
casting shadows waltzing the wall
and the chilly wind whistling a tune,
sending wisps of wishes, for tonight.
While the rest of the world snoozes
in its deafening silence. Getting used
with the normalcy of [...]

Chiaroscuro

A little rain. And it started
to chill empty souls as shadows
prowling  some pallid walls. Alone
and not a sound.  Some midnight walk
without the stars, only lamplight. Blue.
Is the color that falls on these cold
cobblestone, silver shimmering
streams of tears by its wayside.
While the heart has melted
the shape of love, lengthening
into dark shadows embracing
empty spaces. Stretching out
to reach you.

Monochrome

Be still. Please focus. Would you wait
until my iris capture you of snapshots? I am here.
Don’t notice. Your portrait on my mind, I dodged
and burned. Don’t worry. I won’t
over-expose the sequences of the memory
fleshed out from my canister, the last strip of film.
 
On my negative- your wavelength of light escapes
through my lenses, I would carefully [...]

Paint The Words

I came from the east
And you from the west.
 
The space between us
is an empty canvas.
 
Our footsteps were
unsure scribbling of lines.
 
Our lives were
charcoal grey sketches.
 
Our beings were
liquid pigments, pressed
out of  tube-like existence.
 
Paint the words
written by fate.
Our union pre-destined.
 
Our spirits would soon
penetrate this world,
transforming our bond
from this obscure surface.
 
Like criss-crossing layers
of texture and dimension.
 
Your blood. And my [...]

Haiku To A Hideaway

Let me beach to your powdery sand,
a beachcomber with seashells on his hand
delightful picking colored stones ashore.
 
On your rugged cliffs I climb and went,
lingering to witness your misty sunset
touched by the wind of this summer’s kiss.
 
The leaning tree, a coconut, subdued me,
as it veils its shadowy palms over me-
dancing divine light, streaming reverie.
 
Seawaves sailed glinting [...]

Blank Canvas In A Lazy Afternoon

Pensive as I was in this lazy afternoon.  Looking out in the window and the hazy light filtered through. Sending dust like a strobe of crystals. I stared. Just stared for the longest time.
The muse didn’t come as I expected.  Like an acrylic tube on the verge of squeezing out  of its contents, I just [...]
