Leaves have settled
on the path
Green and yellow
Waiting to be swept away
And walked upon

Words still fly wanton
Driven by the winds of thought
Falling out of the edges
Of the mosiac of my mind

A few will come perhaps
and fall green and yellow
To float with the untraceable
Entrancing circles
In the soothing waters
Of your heart

Windows filter in the night sky
Sending out in watery smoke
Dreams that outgrow
sleepless eyes.

Shivering from more
Than just cold
this blanket of nightly hush
keeps warm.

Where a blink is more
Than a thousand tears shed
And a mere sigh
Spans distances of the stars!

As the invisible arms
Of your gaze
Wrap around and dissolve mine
Into the depths of the deepest oceans
Bathing in the light of a sleepless moon..

My heart opens to watch
The tiny bird mount
The unmeasured breathless spaces
In ever expanding spirals,
Its shrill chirping heard and unheard
The tiny dot of its existence
Seen and unseen!

Here I am sitting at the edge,
My gaze swept directionless
By the gentle ripples.
Not waiting anymore
For the words that drowned
To resurface!

Hush, don't point me
to the blossom
I would rather drown
in the fragrance alone

Forget the sweetness
Of the nector
I would rather be dizzy
On the buzz
Of the maddened bees

Its never the sound 

of approaching footsteps

The sky tries in vain 

to paint a face

I tremble yet again 

only to hear my own heart race

Till all the rest 

Fall silent. 

When a butterfly trembles
Ever so gently
On a flower

It is not drinking
It is not breathing
It is not resting

It is gathering strength
In a flash of a moment
To dissappear!

My moon comes to me
Every night
Howling and mad
Weeping and sad

And I know,
it is no baby
To be hushed
And put to sleep!

My moon comes to me
When it is dark
Laughing and falling and weak
Barely able to speak

And I know
That it will never
Stop to tell me
What it is all about! 

The weight of a flower
Doesn't cast a burden
The colors of a rainbow
Can't be too bright
The drifting shadow
Of a cloud doesn't steal light
And the pain of the heart
Cannot hobble love's flight

The absent moon shall shine
Through a million stars!
