Missing you

It is harder to get warm
when you are not near
near enough to my heart
it still skips a beat
the missing one must make its way
to play on your heartstrings
like a bird without a song
muffled to my ears
tastes like thinner
illusionises my painting
at dusk
it is all too grey
rain stops by
to keep me awake

Oneness

Let us fall into each other’s eyes
swim as one
from the tip of the bay
to the deepest heartbeat

In God’s presence
let us burn into sublime beauty
my name inked in your skin
your blood flows in my arteries

 

 

Home

We are such homebodys
the couch is our sanctuary
where the shapes of us
sinking into
the wings of a butterfly
gives life to our dream

There is no more safer space
than the span of us
where body temperature
is within reach
our flesh
is in contact
each of our worlds
knitted into one
bright colourful
landscape of
love

Finally
we are home at ease
in one breath
one flesh
one uniting
force of life

Home

It feels like home
seeing the Chinese arts
hung on the walls;
cooking in a cosy mess
where everything is within reach;
talking, joking, laughing,
doing life together effortlessly;
making every minute
the illustration
of the next
for the rest of today
and all the tomorrows to come.

It feels like home
where my heart rests upon
the solace of your love.

Gangster and spy

A collaboration with Mike Ennenbach

hardly your everyday couple
the gangster and the spy
violent outlook hides
the teddy bear innocence
sweet aura concedes
a sinister cold heart

the rain fell dirty water from dirty clouds
landed with disinterest on his bald head
as he watched her slide into
the oversized chair with sinuous grace

the retold story of
beauty and the beast
in reverse
the modern Vito and Olga
sipping coffee latte
in the middle of a land
once flowing with milk and honey
cowboys, cattle and cotton farms

Droplets of kisses

the ocean mist
descents on my skin
like
you caress me with
droplets of kisses

Make may way to you

tread the long and winding road
thorns and thistles
storm and hail
make my way to you

I make my way to you
calm and clear
blooms and twine
we skip down the narrow path

Love as a masterpiece

My love!
I only stand in distance admiring your grand beauty.
My absolute adoration for you leaves no room for coquetry.

Would anyone dare to smear their hands on Van Gogh’s painting just for their own pleasure?
Would anyone be so insensitive to shout cheers in the middle of Peter Grimes?

My love!
I am in awe of you, my masterpiece!
My obsession for you is beyond the need to possess you.
Trust me!
You are safe with me. I am the keeper of your heart.

Love in punctuation

We walked through the four seasons of love:

“Your smile shines brighter than the stars”, then he tilted my face and kissed my cushioning lips.

Oh baby! Fuck! Baby…

He was hurt; he knew it too well I said it out of my own insecurity.

The atmosphere was like a pair of ill-fitting shoes, go bare feet, or suffer the agony.

We ended our relationship.

Did our love just die?
