Broken Bones

Now we sit together at

the terrace and watch

the setting sun

we never did that

before since we were

strangers under the

same roof

she was the mother of

four kittens, my cat’s

lover

neither we exchanged

any meaows nor we

shared scrambled eggs

only her babies were

close to me and my cat

was my star

my companion in dawn

and dusk

my solitude in lonely

nights

he still walks in my mind

he still plays the rara avis

with both of us

our eyes now meet

sometimes while we

cross rooms and perhaps

we see him sharing a

space

it was a death and not

a murder since we would

never give credit to an

unknown rash driver

we know time will fly by

we know we shall cry

we know silence will turn

into stones

while we shall keep

sharing inside us some

broken bones…

A Streak of Memory

A deer running in the midst

of deep forest and a memory

peeps in my mind

The valleys we saw, the

touches we left in the patches

of memories

We ran once like there were

no boundaries only to fall into

each other’s arms

In the silence of those nights

we drifted apart to be lost in

sweet-bitter senses

Passion drizzling with strokes

of touches forever lingering

in skin

Let us meet. Let us feel again

the ripples of lost melodies

Not to lose your soul in me

but to set my visions free
