Hunger In Her Eyes

Hunger in her eyes

The moon in her full bloom
In the darkness of my skies
Leaving me full of wonder
The infinity before my eyes
My universe!
Comprehend cannot, the mysteriousness
Reason cannot my mind 
The moon in her fullness playing havoc with my mind
My senses so attuned
To the sounds shadows of the night
Like a she-devil prowling the streets
With hunger in her eyes
Looking for the one, the only one
She'll never compromise
Coming upon that station with fear in her heart
Whilst the whole world's sleeping
Spying for her love coming upon in
The only compartment sitting, so alone
Head in hands hanging low, as if his world's falling apart
Quietly she moves touching him once
Her hands shading his eyes, feeling her hands
There was fever exuding from her eyes
In her blood embers burning,
Fevers in the air.
Gazing into her eyes taking her hands in his
He could see there were tears in her's...
Realising not that love resided in her heart
Roots embedded deeply for all times
& a hunger within the sighs
Mortified was she
That the years in between she lost her mind
I've hollered to the winds I've shouted in the rain
& I've shouted to the mountains highs
To bring me peace, not pain!!
In the darkness of our nights the whispers between us
& at the dawning of the sun silence, echoing through my mind
In the silence of the night, I've cried out my love.
I cried to the winds the mountains highs,
In the plains the savanna's wild
With whispering hands, our woe's exclamations the sighs
Right through the night phrases uttered between us
But as the midnight bell tolls help cannot...
Help can, not but recall that "night our love"
In the midnight station with the moon at full light
Playing tricks on my mind
& like a banshee prowling the midnight streets
With hunger in her eyes...

When We Made Poetry

Believe I could not you were there
Just holding my stare
Was mesmerised by you!
Every few steps kept glancing at you
You said not a word just starring my way
So sure in my minds, mind it was you.Yet
It seemed to me you were avoiding me
Waiting for me to go on by
This feeling staying with me for sometime
Disturbing my mind
An impossibility getting you out of my mind
Believe I could not without uttering a word
Passing me by
Not a hello how do you do!!
So hard to entertain difficult to frame
Word fleeting through my mind
Phrases from a stranger, much easier to obtain
I saw you coming through the alley
Rustling the Autumnal fallen leaves
You looked frozen in the misty fog
Exiting through those magnificent doors
Looking at me shivering with cold
Winters night darkness seeping through
Like a hazy mist hovering upon you
At the downing of the sun its shadows casting over you
You looked to me as I haven't seen you before
So dapper so debonair!
& I looking for a reason getting closer to you
Just an excuse to touch look at you
In the silence of the night, the breeze whispering away
I held you close to my heart
Cupping your face in my hands
Standing close as we began to dance, slowly as one
These intricate steps the new craze
I held you close as we shimmered across
As the music takes hold living in the moment
So attuned the music our minds
Just you & me dancing
No time to whisper & say
After such a long time we're drifting away 
Memories within me I extolled no way
Or will ever say, please stay!
Something else on my mind before you go away
Just sit beside me whilst inhaling the scent of you
Touch you, for when you're away from me
I shall exist not completely nor happily without you
In the darkness of my nights, I'd often recall
That night of nights when we had it all
That night when we made poetry!!

Just For A Moment... Ciao

Ciao Caro!!
What a sight for sore eyes
Lazily lying in the sun, can you feel the love
An aphrodisiac the sun warming the cockles of your heart
Lying dreaming of love!!
Of course isn't love, inherently within you!
But Cassius Caro!!
Looking at you my somersaulting heart
Opiums I need not!
Just you would suffice to make my heart sing
As you lying indolently by the pool...
Those Nymphes attending you
Bringing a smile to mine eyes the adoration in their eyes
Oh, Cassius, I do love you not just with mine eyes
My body craves you, embers burning my mind
It takes every ounce of me stopping me!!
Burning my blood at the sight of you, just one look
Darling, let's play that game that you and I know so well
Here, in my basket, I have the fruits of the gods
Just gathered by me Figs succulently
& the juiciest's of grapes you've ever tasted
Gathered in the warming sun oozing sweetness
Salivate I am, cannot wait to feed you one at the time!
& a flask of the nectar from the gods
To quench your thirst!
That's all I need to love you...
No opiates will do just me my words & you
Ahh!! my eyes my hands my lips will suffice!
I can see the naughtiness exuding from your eyes
Wickedly!! Caro can you feel my breath
As I hover over you whispering kissing you!
& from my, lips a grape, escaping...
Sensually falling into your mouth, expertly...
Caro can you taste the juiciest of flavours
Rippen by the burning sun embers high
Caro!  Can you feel the need in me!
Open up your lips & taste the moreish-ness of these figs
Oozing sweetness, the fruits of the gods
I can see you love that, as a grape from my lips
followed by a kiss
Your the only opium I need making love blows my mind
Caro!  Feeling exaltation within me
Looking at you indolently taking all am dishing you
Carissimo try a sip of this nectar from the gods
Would this do you!
So divine the aroma the scent intoxicating
& from my lips following another grape as juicy as you
Taking hold of me!! But I've not finished Carissimo!
Administering to you spoiling you
But, me you heard not...
Burning embers my blood I see in yours too...
I feel your fibrillating heart beating under, mine
Your all the dopamine I need soaring high!
In my blood burning me my mind
Soaring like that Phoenix riding the thermal winds
In the ecstasy of the momentum
As I look into your eyes and take all you had to give
Shuddering in the delirium of love
Just for a moment...

Oblivious To Me

Where are you!
Where did you get to?
I've this ache within me, sleep cannot
But why should you care if sleep I cannot
My heart's fragmenting...
Darling why the silence, punished am I being?
This silence is killing me!
You truly do not see me standing before thee
Looking into your eyes
I see nought but sternness, looking back at me
Not, ever a word coming my way ...
For you have this obsession with you
On your, mind theirs nought but she
I hope that she loves you better than me!
Me, that loves you adores you
Worships the ground you stand on
But darling you see not me at all
Matters not how hard I try
Your oblivious to me,
You see how this is killing me!
But darling I hope she loves you better than me
As I see you worshipping, she
In my heart am fragmenting
Broken my mind into thousand little pieces
As if a poisonous dart wounding my heart
Killing me!
& my hearts crying outreaching to you kiss me
But you stare right through me
But darling I hope she loves you better than me
What has changed darling
Do I ever enter your mind in the scheme of things?
Do you ever think of me
But this obsessive obsession with she
But darling all I can say is
I just hope that she loves you better than me!!

On The Wings Of a Phoenix

On The Wings Of a Phoenix

Good Lord!!
It's blowing a real gale here...
The trees are swaying in the wind,
My Acer's almost touching the ground...
& the Bamboo canes dancing in the breeze!!
You can hear the wind 's howling down my chimney...
Roaring like an angry animal roaring infernally...
It's gone dark as sin...
Lashings of rain & the sun's refusing to give in...
A lovely rainbow upon my skies
Whilst the sun shines & the rain does not give in...
It's a weird kind of day darkness, filling in...
Between light & darkness,
Into despair, I must not give in...
My light I must switch on
Bringing brightness to, my eyes my mind...
Maybe I'll just join that Phoenix dancing in the wind
& my trees whispering in the breeze...
Whilst my mind's elsewhere...
Thinking of He!!
& Tchaikovsky playing being carried in the wind...
Into the hills the mountains the valleys
The Savannah's into the horizon's far...
Lifting our spirits high
Being carried on the wings of a Phoenix...
Oh, My!!

           

Closer To You

If I said you had a beautiful mind
Would you hold it against me
Would you let me hold you
Close to my heart
As we danced & swayed to
The music of the night
I can feel your body close to mine
As we danced through the night
I can feel your breath upon my hair
That slight breeze as if am
Undulating on cloud nine.
All my yesterdays
Dispersing in the breeze
In a dreamland swaying undulating in the wind
Kissing your eyes
Reaching high touching your face with mine
Softly your eyes watching me at all times
Making me feel in Nirvana I'll be
When your mind touches mine
Memories, yesterdays memories!
Making me smile laugh-cry at the same time
This little ache carrying within me
Not so easy to always smile
From my eyes rolling my tears
Like cascading stones
Falling from my mountain high.
So many, many yesterdays
Always will remember
as you kissed my cares away
& I hungrily kissed your lips your mouth
In my arms holding, you close
Getting closer to you
Incircling me so strong your arms
As if in a vice...
Making me blush as you look at me thus
Can you not see what's on my mind
Dancing to the music of the night
This feeling I cannot abide
This ache tearing me apart
As if you were departing from me
Setting heavily on my heart
Opening the floodgates
No choice for me as they flow irrevocably
But the music of the night keeping me
From this elusive illusion
The ecstasy having you close to me
Lost in my mind's mind euphorically
Releasing endorphins within my mind
As I touched your mind one more time
Overflowing like a turbulent ocean
Swaying indolently upon my shores
Erotic dreams came to mind
As you & I lay side by side
Beneath a cloudless sky glistening little stars
Like fairy lights
We counted countless stars
Scintillating in my velvety darkest skies
Dancing to the music on my mind
Imploding high within...
Your pheromones & mine

The Ignorance

The ignorance the abomination
The superiority such peoples
Because their skin happened to be white.
Putting a child under such insurmountable pressure
Because her skin happened to be black!!
How brave of her...
Not once did she show uneasiness
Or how scared she might have been...
How come did she possess such backbone,
In her tender years...
Underneath our skins aren't we all the same!!?
Isn't our blood red, do we not all bleed if cut...
Do we not all feel, love in our hearts,
Cry when hurt when in pain in sorrow...
Am finding it very hard getting my mind around this...
The imbecility, the superiority the obtuseness
Of those high and mighty peoples of our world...
Because the colour of their skin's
Makes them so much closer to their God
Or so they seem to think
Underneath we're all the same
Ashamed they should be...
Be they black white red or yellow...
After all aren't we are all human beings!! ?
