Whispers To The Oblivion ...

When I leave I shall have left, No footprints on sand No ripples on still blue waters No images on mirrors So when I leave, Can I leave a bit of me with you?

The night I stared at the heavenward blue, The night my heart had wept for you. Stranded on that sooty black A pair of stars up and high I knew I loved, I remember those eyes But who, at all was the answer to my cries The glitter his eyes had cast in glee Her words had stuck like dust on me. Shady ghosts arrived to veil Till i finally caught the trail... She was the answers to all my prayers The fingers that gnawed deep into my layers She was the dawn to my deathly nights She was the star, even from long afar that drenched me in an eternal light.

How do you do that? Undress me one layer at a time And kiss that void deep into the pits of my stomach with those eyes And how do you tangle and detangle locked away abysses of passion in me effortlessly, like strands of hair snarled in your fingers How do you fit with ease, into my arms like puzzle pieces? We were strangers, after all...

Then I, wet with desires and forlorn To forgotten hymns from yesterday and drenched in praises of Gods from the sky. In our secret penchant for the ultimate union Through blurred glasses and webs of dreary hair Between rumbles of ache and background noises Us, torn apart by distances and sewn, in hems of a major conspiracy- Love.

The way your eyes smirk at my existence and heavy breaths sublime under hallucinating lights The rifts of your wet lips, abhorrent and unawaiting On mine sometimes, sometimes gone A lover's sigh, and poet's respite, You. The splash of aquamarine to my gloomy canvases.

The ode to her sorrow,  in the life she has lived, The love she ever held in her heart,  the love she never received.

In her leaving, I saw the death of a hundred moments of hopes and love crumble onto earth. In her dismay, I saw the love in my heart grow wilder, desperate in longing her touch of solace. In her smiles, I saw the forgotten heartaches we traded through fragrant air in the death of the night. In the twinkle of her eyes, I saw a new love settle down on veneers of dust-clad memories of holding hands and wiping tears. In a jiffy, I saw her love me and leave me And all at once, came undone

A century had elapsed between her two sentences. Eons of pain and inducement of sorrow; the demise of an edifice of emotions and new acclimatization to absence. Even though it has been years now, like unheralded summer storms on the coast, I saw, a fleet of gloomy clouds pass over her. It all rushed to grab her. As if for a jiffy, she could again feel her nerves severed, throbbing and oozing scarlet in that hospital corridor amidst shrieks of agony. For that moment, it seemed so near that I could see her pupils dilated (or was it tears?) and she was almost craving for death. Time had flown past like wild air as she had striven to let that burning sensation sink deeper into her flesh and scar her for life. A moment. Only one of the so many years. Like the bloody remnants of her last letter of love. One that never reached her lover. The last hope she held on to. The holy water on her lips before she drifted away. -"I had a lover" - "He is gone"

In the blur of a lone violin, In the empty halls of a desolate theater, stands a solitary silhouette The ghosts of her pasts, her phantom felonies of love.

I was a virgin canvas your lips couldn't stain I had waterfalls inside my chest your eyes couldn't contain I ached in places your hands couldn't touch I spoke of autumns words couldn't adorn much So what you loved that beauty spot on the edge of my waist, Alongside thrived a freckle you had already abandoned in haste.

Beneath foggy blankets, we lay in still darkness, discovering hands on hands and heartbeats on heartbeats... Touching the edge of our lips~ ecstasy, an unforgotten craving Caught in limbo, our words defiant and skin to skin our goosebumps hum... Is it just mouths, or are we one? At dawn, like the moonlight plunging into the embrace of sun...
