SLEEPING VALLEY

Nocturnal bird, whistling consistently, on the

Higher branch, resonance breaks the silence –

Of deep sleeping valley, moonlit canopies

Builds the romantic bridge, sitting on balcony

Hill station looks a tiny paradise, as a night

Matures, desires wants to play hide and seek!

In this misty gloom, clouds are leaning to touch

The crest of mountain, unsettled, wet feelings

Trying to get fleeting refuge, you are wordless!

Gazing toward the rough trunk of tree, the

Tempest breathing, a drowsiness or hiding

Mysterious smile, your eyes say you love me,

Further than dream, I found, in this closeness

Dialogues lost meaning shrugs come out from

The ovum of passion, a fascination to sink

Ourselves in the unseen deluge of sweet -

Emotion, I try to hold, to seize your concealed

Pleasure, why you do not wish to share it, in

Your reply, life gets significance for survival,

In this long night, I saw haunting glow in your

Eyes, a recreation of elation, euphoria, a

Passion to die in love, this beautiful arctic

Ignition, the icy blue simplicity, your amazed

Face says me to keep you cautiously in the

Heart, as a fragile expensive urn, its clarity

Appeals, but I always think to decorate it with

Tender daffodils, but afraid to contact the

Glassy surface, looking to each other night

Reached to pinkish horizon, nocturnal magic

Toward the climax, slowly I cover the blanket

In your body, kissed the forehead, stretched

The twisted curtain, dawn encroaching to hills!

THROUGH NERVES

In the folded corolla, prolong perception slept

As you looked me after centuries, nectars

Were condensed in cubicle of heart, instantly

Fidelity of your love, desires to expel out from

The concealed slit, I tried a lot to preserve my

Emotions, agnostic thoughts began to sing the

Devotional rhymes, your beauty fascinated

I looked thy icon in the element, molecule, every

Where, in my shadow, in enclosed - exposed

Corporal world, in your mysterious smile, the

Mirror of life is existed, I found myself a kid

In your lap, munificent, prolific you look

Gives me shade of gigantic vat tree, the hanging

Roots of affection, grasps my persona, I relax,

Calm down all desires one by one, soul feels

Liberation from magical bonds, the fluid of

Pleasure, flows through the sweating pores

As sun goes higher altitude, clouds leave the

Path, joie de vivre, liveliness moves from the

Muscles, fertility nucleus produces the totality

Embracing arms becomes the radical faith,

I do not want to detach you for a moment more

This determined attitude forces you to love

Me over and over, sharing proximity in the

Solitude, makes us perfect couple, the offspring

Of devotional relation are so beautiful, as a

Seasonal flowers scatter forever-fragranced mist!

Heart wants to surrender all the aggression,

Superiority, arrogance, wilderness on the

Terrain of breast to acknowledge your supremacy

Life becomes the arc paradise, decorated by -

Precious, unique, divine, infinite adoration –

THATS A LIFE TOO !

This outrageous approach does not hurt

Me, I’m habitual, living in cemetery, your

Abuse, maltreatment, exploitations are

Part of my life, in consequence I couldn’t

Oppose because I’m defenseless, weaker

Then you, you forced me to follow the

Orders, on the bed, on the floor, in the

Bathroom, your serpentine venom, stings

Fangs, squeezing the delicate part of body

You made me an object to collect your

Saliva, semen, bites, scratch, love, hates,

Don’t know, it’s my persona or an ashtray!

Your prolong process to lured me, as an

Orphanage I had nothing to do except

Adopt you as a father, sometimes as a

Master, gradually adopted your authority

In my life, slowly you converted my body

Souls, heart, brain accordingly your need!

Later you made me hermaphrodite, in

Beginning feels pain, shame, hesitation, hate

Before maturity, I had been puppet in your

Hands, you beautifully utilized my existence

In your isolated life, your muscled body, love

Changed my individuality, I forgot my gender,

Identification, significance of life, just my

Planet finish in your desires, your deep

Involvement later changed my attitudes, I

Started loving you, bit by bit the venomous

Thinking altered, now I nothing without you –

(This poem based on a handsome young man s life,

Whom I know very well, live in relation with another

man, since childhood, as second man helped him for

study, once he shared his secrets with details -

During waiting time in the airport, it inspired me

To write few lines, but I found that person has no

Any regret about his life, he was happy, successful

In his life, working as a manager in a big firm, he is 

my Facebook friend since long time, he completely 

dedicate to that older person a bachelor )
