incessant incantation of I love you

Unspoken words can have a chasm
As far and as wide as galaxies
But there is nothing as fathomless
And empty and hollow
As the "I Love Youes" that are shallow
That are swallowed
easily by the serpent of doubt
And withers at first sign of the cold.

Klimt Kiss

when I saw the Klimt kiss
I felt a fire of bliss
running through my veins
stomach fluttering with butter flies
brain buzzing, I saw the paradise in your glazed eyes
you were in my arms
wrapped around me...
my blanket of life?
or I was a lord of lust
lurking around like a shadow
tenderly toying with its prey?
or it's a sublime ritual of love
before the ecstatic play?

Its on the tip of my tongue

Its on the tip of my tongue
its a whisper that a heart aches for a thousand moons
its a gleam, a shimmer off the heaving sea on the bluest night
its the scent of the flowing strands of silky hair that mesmerize
its the longing of the forlorn eyes that makes a heart sink
its a nest ready for the miracle of life
I have been lost too long in the wilderness of doubts
I forgot the name, one word that covers all
I forgot what its called...
I forgot what its called...?

Let it go

Let it go
Let it go…gently
For gentle was love
Let go of that love
That does not return to you
It’s a leaf broken off a tree
There is no ointment that can heal that wound
Weep to peace.
Gently let it go with a sigh
Wishing for relief that comes with it
To come soon.
Let it go
It may needs to be some where else
To some one else it may belong
Let it go…
Love is nothing but the happiness of the beloved
It’s not a bird to be caged,
Not a thing to be possessed.
Gently whisper it luck and let it go like a sigh
Wishing for relief to come soon.
