Fantasy

Return thy hand from going far…

Wished to run;

Sounds snorkel in the Neverland

Bang! The desert cut through the door,

“It's not a giving life party, you hear me?

The ones who come here are sold… ”

Wished to run; his hand was far;

Sounds alighting flashes in my mind;

Lights out; none, just scented air,

When door opens, next,

This will be an Indian shrine;

This blended silence with the smell of hair

Damp on his chest,

This hidden interface of the divine,

Where have you been?

This flowing tremor of memories that never sleep

Sipping with me uneven cups

of fantasy…paid for everything.

Wished to run…barefooted,

His hand was too far;

Where have you been?

Flashes,

Dashing sands on the wall,

“You're sold….”

Scented hair,

Damp on his chest,

One night, here,

 in the desert…no one…gone,

Jailed as an expat.

The Travelers

We used to walk together,

There were empty rounds within secluded hearts,

It was like building bridges made of fire

between nameless shapes.

We used to call the night a traveler

And play hide-and-seek among worlds

So far sometimes as he could get,

Estranged in wanderings while arms held closer

His scent,

his laughter.

He made a boat of a palm tree leaf

To carry me into his morrow,

Eyes closed at dreams,

Dispersed harmonies through endless hours,

“But what if it rains?” ” We'll hide under the rainbow.”

We used to walk together,

There were secluded rounds within atomic hearts

One to another,

In hide-and-seek and worlds

That used to carry us

into the morrow.
