thresholds

thresholds

.

drawn with toes

on water

.

etched with nails

on the breeze

.

fenced with thoughts

in the mind

.

blur melt and disappear

in the warmth

of your presence

.

why?

like a
.
heavy laden cloud
holding back
the rain
lest it
stain the earth
.
the restless ocean
smothering its waves
lest it
shatter the breeze
.
the full moon
hiding its light
lest it
blind
lovers in the night
.
why am I
so
with you
?

to death, my friend

i can smell
your lack of breath
as flowers wilt
in your path
.
i hear
the emptiness
you cloak with
rustle in my dreams
these nights

.
i can see
your yearning
reach out its tentacles
to wrap
my mind
.
i can touch
your heart's dilemma
as it swings
between what I know
and what you know
.
i can taste
chew & savor
fear
trapped in your chest
.
but why ,

my friend

?

so said the woman-3

i feel

the incredible lightness of being

having said

the unsaid

which is now

a feather

being blown about

the jerky movements

of your restless mind

.

i feel

the incredible lightness of being

having made

that tightness inside

melt

getting you unstuck

from my thoughts

.

i feel

the incredible lightness of being

having said

what i feel

waiting for you

to pluck it

from no man's land

.

universe

vast sky

lone star

.

a

black hole

deep hunger

.

orbits

fission

fusion

.

birth

rebirth

.

blink

.

Incessant raindrops

incessant rain drops

in my courtyard

falling on memories

with the rhythm

of old melodies

.

buried skeletons rise

dancing in tottering steps

dragging the spirit away

from the rain

and its wetness

.

to waltz away the night

locked in the arms of time

.

while

mind and body

sit and watch

the rain and the dance

from the threshold

.
