veiled innocence


how many times have i faltered
on this green grassy mead
a false breath of love and sorrow

promises that never were kept.
truth.a history.
white linen or cotton?

an esteemed look of desire.a glass of port.
the vein of sad tomorrows
where have all the flowers gone?

innocent rays of sunlight
or burnt wisps of a past?
trembling moments of grace .
and a whispering heart.

a good luck charm.a charmer.
fake notes of sweet surprise.
a sonnet.a ballad.a love song.

no proof of dark despair.

a book in my hand.
clotted seeds of grain.
the mewls of the tiny kitten .
whose folks did her betray

not a dream.but very much Real.
the notion of a loyal knight.a vision.
not light.

for it's an axiom seldom false.
"veiled eyes , a thousand signs,ignore"

Heartbreak hotel

Does it come with a warning? Or does it sound as brittle as the shattering of glass? Does it taste like despair on your tongue- ashen, dry and unpleasant? Or does it leave an aftertaste, bitter and nauseous? It's one thing to call yourself a beacon of strength and another to shed silent tears when no one's looking A failed attempt, and some more, and hope is washed away like by the tides of time. Corroding the light and heaping in darkness. A car Crash, a death, a black dress and mourning. is there going to be some light at the end of this tunnel?
