Two lonely souls

across the hall

from one another.

He silently sipped

his coffee isolated

while she went out

and sat solitary

with her cup of tea.

He went to the movies

she slipped out an hour later

they sat apart

never to meet

She went to the beach

mused isolated on the sands

yearning for soul mate.

He walked by the waves

oblivious to her.

He saw her once

at a distance

felt interest kindle

but no matter how fast

he walked

couldn’t catch her shadow.

She felt estranged

from her possibilities.

He felt disconsolate.

Two bodies

passing in the night

never to entwine.

                            A  P  A  R  T

Red aura 

for passion.

She turned 

from the balcony

and moved 

aimlessly

through

the crowded party,

Champagne flute

in hand.

Blue aura for

constancy.

He stepped

out from

the other alcove

in the velvet

curtained

window to 

gaze over 

the city lights.

A faint perfume

of jasmine lingered.

He smiled 

a slight smile.

Refusing her

hostess's offer

to call a cab,

Red slipped 

out the back

door into

the night.

With a sigh, Blue

made his way 

to the front door.

He leaned into

the evening chill

and turned his

collar against 

the wind.

Indigo aura for

truth (denied).

Just another 

dull and pointless

party in the grey

and lonely city.

"Why do you keep on reading the same chapter?"

This question always surrounded me,

Engulfing me like an old dear friend.

A small smile tugged at my lips,

And I replied to the cold wintery wind,

"Because I'm hoping and praying that maybe,

Just maybe this time the ending would be a bit different." 

I arrived, you departed.

I smiled, you frowned.

I wanted to embrace, you picked a fight.

I talked, you shouted.

I cried, you laughed.

I cherished, you disparaged.

I left, you scratched your head.

I choose not to go with the crowd

Because they all dance the same

In a rather boring fashion

That I find very lame

All they do is twirl and hop

Their way across the stage

I choose to flip and leap

To escape from their dreadful cage

For we all want to act the same

It's evolution, as you know

But I march to the beat of a different drum

And, steadily on, I go

A hundred billion stars and

Seven billion people, 

Hurtling through space

Futile and everything to lose - 

Running - errands and to work 

And away from the unimaginable - 

And when we cease

with nothing left and thoughts all shadow - 

the world still turns,

but we are ice and

leaking sand and how and why?

are we to know - 

what time it is

at the center of the earth -

And for the man

On the other side - 

So far and spinning - 

A thousand miles an hour -

Falling through space

And if 

         we 

             let 

                 go -

born by division

grown through multiplication

end zero balance

starlight's asynchronicity affects my vision's awe

pinpricks of brilliance, romantic bursts,

"i love you, let me recite the asynchronous ways," 

in which you stir my emotions to passions' oblivion

you've gone on above, stardust you

once asynchronous, earthly lovedust transformed

once grasped by physical reach, 

now particles divine, spirit's asynchronistic essence

i yearn innumeratively those asynchronous nuances 

of our former human state,  

ecstasy borne of will, 

mere lust acquiesced to highest plane

let these stars attest asynchronistic ordeals 

such worth of price be paid,

woe to mortal me, your eternal state

impatiently awaits reunion, 

what remains of me,

your asynchronous half, yet physical 

to be as you, 

rejoined as asynchronistic spiritdust

A sink.

Chrome.

Nice.

This city.

It.

Bites.

But.

Sure is.

Pretty.
