I "Live"

I sing...
I sing to calm
the screaming silence

I laugh...
I laugh to eclipse
the droning tedium

I cry...
I cry to mollify
the hurting ego

I love...
I love to feel
the throb of life

I hate...
I hate to remain
fate's perpetual puppet

I create...
I create to liberate
the trapped passion

As time flies by

When I met you first, I was-

Allured by your mystery
Aroused by your temptation
Enthralled by your capriciousness
Intoxicated with your novelty


Many a year has passed-

You are still shrouded in mystery
But I search for something familiar

You entice me no end
But I look away

You are whimsical as ever
But I choose routine

You are born afresh each morn
But I want eternity

Twilight reminiscence

My mood so mellow
I watch your halo,
As you look down at me
smiling in glee.

I reach out to touch
your smoky face,
As you float around
in your high abode.

I hate to see you
melt away,
As you rush to hide
behind dawn's veil.
