THE LETHAL GAZING 

some strange stare, descends on the
depth of heart, that lethal gazing
touches the persona as a 
glassy edge goes 
silently, very 
near to 
the consciousness, life chases the 
runaway shadow, on the waves
of quiet ocean , the unseen
brainstorm plays with 
tidal dreams, here
jaded body 
desires 
to sleep on the moist sand bed !
the inventory of needs was 
prolonged, the breath 
had the limited 
length, 
though my thirsty lips reached up
to the filled glass, before 
touching the window 
panes the vapors
melted down,
remained
few finger prints on the wet glass,
meanwhile the fresh tuberoses
kept on the delicate vase, 
the twilight stupefied 
the emotion as 
darkness 
swallowed the charm of waiting, 
the depth of night becomes
lunatic, gradually your
promise goes 
toward the 
seductive trail, slowly the purity 
of love gave over the aroma
to the blooms, in the 
atmosphere now 
emerging the 
humidity 
of sweating sensation, meanwhile 
darkness sustained its 
concentrations of 
inner beauty in
natural way,
sky looks more beautiful sometimes
in moonless night - - -
