Strangers for the Second Time

Lost in the midst of the crowd
In the most remote of lands
Her eyes pitted black
Stared at mine

For that instant
We recognized the familiarity
Of what we have lost and died in the past

To find ourselves groping for fragments
Buried too deep to understand
Consoling one another as nothing more
Than strangers for the second time

The Muse

It is only the momentary contentment in her smile,
That makes me want to stay, a while.

The woman I placed on the pedestal
Loved.
Desired.

Making a Fetish Out of My Solitude

Dull is the evening

Filled with sounds of passing cars

The moist feeling

Of raindrops on the skin

Void beats from the heart

Memory lingered from eves before

Of the night I last saw her

Announcing her presence by fingertips

For it is time to call it a night,

But not without the taste of my mouth

This is what loneliness should feel

Always just a second past from her kiss

Not flooded by empty sounds, nor the creeping rain on my skin

Always just a moment away...

From the ghost of her touch
