I Spin a Tale

I spin a tale

today and now

of the thin golden lines

that I hope hold us

I spin a tale

of hope and love

of the mysteries beyond

understanding and all

I spin a tale

worthy to behold

the golden strand across

oceans and wide lands

I spin a tale

wisp by wisp

of gossips untold and

stolen, hidden smiles

I spin a tale

of numbers and mazes

of stranded meetings

of promises kept good

I spin a tale

with a thread

so strong it couldn't break

so sharp it cuts me

I spin a tale

to me alone

searching within myself

for pleasure of promise anew

I spin a tale

with my mind's all

hoping it'll all be true

hoping it'll always be you

Peek a Boo

I hear a slight rustle
I know you're behind..
Your movement gives you away
Peek a Boo

Ohh, but it was just a leaf
But wait.. isn't that your shoes?
It's unmistakable, that yellow..
Peek a Boo

Damn you took it off!
But I see a toe trail now
Through the mud, light-footed
Peek a Boo

You're not even here
I'm desperate now, searching all
But I see wall now..
Peek a Boo

You're nowhere and I'm lost..
Peek a Boo

Scared. You're not there.
Angry. You're not there.
Frustrated. You're not there.
Helpless. You're not there.
Lost. You're not there.

Peek a Boo? Peek a Boo?? Peek a Boo???
When did you stop playing Peek a Boo?

Food

Dwarfing me,
You pat my head
That hangs in insecurity

Will I earn my bread?
I wonder, whilst
my flat stomach yearns

Somewhere beyond
They waste food
Drinks run like rivers

Where?
I wonder.

They had me go
Touched me some
Hit them and hit back

I'm not me, am I?
The last morsel went
The next might never come

Food food food
Is all I can think about
My skin and bones across

You pat my head
but your stomach is full

They taught you empathy
But they didnt
Teach you to share!

Fo(u)rlorn

Muddle my eyes
Storm right in
Thunder away
Drench me in your arms

Infuriate my wait
Scourge some passion
Flagrate my desires
Burn into my blood

Blow my senses
Gale in my treasures
Burst some kisses
Swipe me off my feet

Wet me with your stares
Puddles down my clothes
Drown me in your love
Dissolve in you my soul

Silent song

I wonder at the face
Staring at me,
Having gulped a truth
Harsher than gales

I wonder why
My heart didn't fall away
My breath not
At all erratic

Strangely calm
My eyes and yours meet
And gaze at mysteries
We've learnt to create

My hopes stronger
Your needs bolder
My arms in yours
We sing a song

Our song is silent
But it has a story
Our eyes hit notes that
No singer can possibly sing

My eyes twinkle
Your eyes smile
We laugh together
We run the marathon

Forget the yesterday
Keeping my promise
Your sadness embraces
My grief divine

I resign to you
Drift off to sleep
You'll awake me
Stealing the worlds

The trinkets bling
Our song vibrates
Your silent note from away
Echoes in rhythm with mine
