[Querida]

Thank you Crazy...I'm glad that you can appreciate what you have "yet" to write...really do give it a try...it might be just as beautiful as NM's touching "LOVE" piece.

Thank you Crazy.....n Queri....

[Querida]

I fail in fear of
what is to come

I stay in fear of
what is far

I dream in fear of
what is real

I sigh in fear of
what may become solitude

I reach in fear of
what will be left

I have in fear
more destiny
than in
happiness

[Querida]

indigo shadows follow, incognito.

hunger stalks pity
satiating nil.

virtue falters to vanity
counting newly gained
limbs from a leper.

good will reeks resentment
coyly cloying
innocent swallows.

[Querida]

walking along this earth
i wish i knew how to
accept that i will go
into the ashes alone
never knowing what walking with would be

must i go
to follow light
and fall into dark?

[crazy]

must i go
to follow light
and fall into dark?

[Querida]

I cannot long like Meera
not upon dreams
not through words
not under spells
not around other lives
not by mere memory
not over time
not in denial
not for one taken
for I am your Radha
awaiting

[Querida]

there once was a leaf
that loved a blossom.
it grew greener
as the flower blushed.
it awaited the wind
for a touch of petal.
it envied the bee
who kissed nectar.
it admonished the stem
worrying its lovely bud
would droop its darkened head.

it felt not the caterpillar's bite
for his darling was within his sight.
it cherished the dew that slipped sun-shiny
into his glazey lap.

and so leaf from a near-far
awaited the day when they
would be plucked and placed
together:
a loving pair from one lover to another.

came one day and
with spade in hand
reached for leaf so glee'd
for once and for all
casting away the weed

Queri :

Meera is short, simple and sweet but the second one is simply beautiful
