There’s a darkness
That will not m/end
Swiveling, inside
Faster and faster and faster
And you can almost miss me sitting here
The real me, I mean
Through all this talk and laughter
The spinning –that- just doesn’t stop
This darkness that owns me
And, that I own
Is consistently around
A shadowy companion
Tethered to my being
Always mocking my attempts
at switching on the lights
crawling out of the abyss
the familiar depths
which have become
safe, comfortable
and mine….

hey no issues- no one has ever written me poetry
May 26, 2018 at 9:01 am
well, i guess that changes now.
oh sashi, look into my eyes, love and oh never look back, for oh you’re beautiful like no other! oh let me see you smile, my love, for as and when you’d smile, i’d dream of caressing you to sleep, only to find you laying over me and oh how beautiful was it all, my love? oh the warmth that we’d share, would make me whisper romance, just to you, for oh sashi, you’re exquisite, just the way you’re!
if you were near, my love, i’d hold your hand in mine, and whisper poetry to you, all day! i’m srijan! nice to meet you!

can you imagine me, holding your hand, as you’d lay over me, only to whisper poetry to you, through the night, only to fill the crevices, that you have with my words of love, that rhymes your name, everytime, you’d read it. can you, sashi?
