Life borrowed from dreams

I am drunk 

My breath may smell like the 

brewery across the street 

But these words, they share the

same fragrance as yours.

Tomorrow I will be sober

But these words will be cogent 

enough to pierce into the hearts 

of the lovers yet to be born

And you will live forever my dear

Cause all of this, is about you

I have made you eternal,

These whimsy words behold you

 

 

I remember the last time you

slowly placed your head against 

my shoulder.

That corduroy shirt still remember the way

its soft fabric folded under your

dimpled cheeks

And everynight I wish if

I could hold you again

Women I wish 

If I could feel the warmth of your

Touch

Dear,In my dreams 

We are still together.

 

 

I remember the last time I listened to

your heart, beat 

Yours were in sync with mine

That felt as if we were transcending 

space and time

Everything genteel I ever had is 

Intervened with you

It seems all my memories 

the good and the bad

Is interlinked with your

Beingness

Dear,In my dreams 

We are still together.

 

 

I have more tears than ink,In this page

It is unfortunate that I could not 

Give you a parting kiss

But dear,

My lips fulfilled their life’s purpose

The moment they touched yours.

Maybe that's why they never longed 

For a cold kiss

And my dear

The days are not days

Without you 

You were the finest sun.

My muse!

My muse!
