Blowing Away

Zen.

Look.

Brush.

Touch.

Vibrations.

Mind creating symphony.

Heart creating rhythm.

Lips creating melody.

Music playing.

Body swaying.

We blowing,

blowing away

to come back

into each other.

Parched In Love

Our love may look an illusion today 

but it was no less than a miracle

that you left to die.

Still I will not chase you.

It would be disrespecting our love. 

Our love empowers me 

to wait 

until we rediscover magic again, 

until we parch enough

to find love in ourselves  

this life time 

or 

as earth or water or fire or air or space 

in another life time

to live as particle or die as vapour

loving forever.

Harvest Love

Culture Love, cultivate love. 

Harvest love, distribute love. 

In your own world of love 

invest in emotions, 

feelings, 

flight.

Forget

the plight, the brain, the mind. 

Smile in love, cry in love. 

Attachment, power, pride 

give away the worldly delights.

Memories! 

Pain! 

Repeat!

Hating Love

Ludicrous it may sound now, 

but it was me who wanted to live and die with you. 

Today the reality is different. 

It’s time to accept;

I failed as a lover,  

we failed as lovers. 

 

Love rarely dies a natural death, 

what is left with us is residual love. 

The love we had for each other has zombified

and we are keeping a blind eye to it. 

Our lives are going nowhere.

We are not we,

our feelings have died open-eyed. 

 

It’s hard to believe that once upon a time 

we loved each other. 

May be our foundations were weak 

built on momentary emotions and attachments. 

Let’s help each other. 

Let’s not hold ourselves back from growing.

 

Before our love becomes diseased

stinky 

toxic 

abusive 

mutates to become cancerous 

and eats us out. 

Let’s cleanse ourselves 

and adieu goodbye. 

 

Else we will live in lingering pain 

keep on shaming love

cursing love

hating love

become villains of love 

even though love gave us few best moments in life 

and it is love that can excavate the pain from us.
