Yes I am afraid,
to love you,
because this is all,
the heart i have,
battered and bruised,
been through dead
and beyond,
a smile, a play with hair,
a giggle, a playful eye,
all i need to love you,
but why afraid?
because of rejection?
no,not at all,
rejection would pull me out of the black hole,
it’s the acceptance I am afraid of you,
because I cannot get enough of you,
anytime, any point, anywhere.
Candles burned and so did bodies
devoured souls looking to complete
each other for eternity
not a word whispered
still they said enough
searched enough
loved enough.
Two deck of cards
She mixed them
Playing with her hair
she asked me to pick one
and if it is the lucky one
I would get a kiss
I took the decks
and held every card
I possibly can with my hands
and said I cannot let my luck stop you from kissing me.

Fear not the cold,
that can send the chill down the spine,
but the warmth that melts heart one day
and disappears for eternity.
Empty your drink,
remember the love you had,
her playful nods,
kisses on shoulder,
tantrums like a two year old,
then
smile incessantly.
Refill.
Repeat.

We are all meant for the untimely end,
an end to the chaos within us,
the light within us will shed,
and the love inside for others will burst unseen,
the rest is stillness.
stillness of heart ushering love.
