permeated bleakness

on a January night

shedding its inhibitions

of untamed trepidations

drip

drip

drip

eloping silence through

a senescent faucet

startling visions

of unknown destinations

conjuring chortles

the fledgling jostles

shy and tacit

yet

drip

drip

drip

inchoate delirium

sit up, then smile, then brood,
then laugh,
look around,
a tiny tear
Stop
sigh! it didn't elude
you speak, I talk,
you wave, I nod
Pewterish moonlight, glimmering tonight,
yoke, come closer
ephemeral is
this halcyon night
Don't touch, just look
Don't go, just wait
Its you, Its me,
these ripples desiccate
Then come lets go
home, to the stars,
away from days,
where dreams are ours!

Only a wish

Look yonder at my sleepless dreams, my darling,
I pilfered each one from many sleepless nights, my darling,
hitherto pinioned by my fears lived a mirage,
dawn awoke me to behold your eyes strolling the skies, my darling.

A rich bohemian whispered to me one day,
she blessed, 'your prayers will be doted on someday'
With celerity in my fortunes and baroqueness in my hope,
remember, my darling, this pauper became yours that day.

Now again I set gaze at the golden moorlands my darling,
for a bohemian to pass by my hearth, oh darling
she will bring paeans of your return,
fulfilling chimerical domicile of those nights, my darling!
