These strings of my heart
you hold
it’s not a tale fresh
but rather old
Ears are ringing
with your sighs
and moans.
You have a way
to disarm me
each time
I wish to get away
do not go
please stay!
I have reserved
a rose
now dried
and dead
in the pages
of my favorite book
please come
and have a look
scrawled
on that bookmark
is your name
in blood
my own
and very much so!
I cannot make
the flower live
its supine
yet glorious
in its death
but if you look deep
you find the bloom
of the past moon
its lights
witnessing
the embrace
of us two
and those small
kisses that
grew longer
with each done
and it was you
who always
won.
You whetted me
with your desires
impregnated
with your passions
till I scurried
for grips on you
I felt all of you
aha! how soft
you used to be
and what refined
feelings
you had
and now it is all gone.
Now I am told
there is a queue
near you
where you cater
to a few
how life degrades
and how emotions
get sold
is this that exhibit
in a new fold.
A slumber can be disturbed
and a stupor can be shaken
but an addiction
cannot be broken,
I realize that
and shrug at you.
By the way
in the small garden
of my hamlet
and among the thorns
there is a bud
in deep brood
and slowly
sucking
food
it grows
to a gradual
beauty
and bloom
may be
you come out of
your life’s black
walk in grey
and then
back
in light
of white
and maybe
I would have
another
rose
and another
bookmark!
