It hurts to see beauty
with eyes that run dry.
A collage envelope:
a fettered body below azure calm,
tormented by sunset,
you by my side,
strange #tranquility in between.
Darkness will rescue-
from feigning, from laughter,
from madness, from life.
It's beauty that hurts.

Can you recognize
The you of yesterday?
I had some answer
Which I forgot too fast.
It's scary, you know,
If you failed to love me.
Is fail the right word,
I failed, I know too well.
Now, when I have lost
Words for love and anger,
Stranger is partner,
The you of yesterday.
I don't have a place to call home
I don't have a woman to call love
I thought I had all that
For a day or two I had all that
There are days when I can remember
That dream in which I had all that.

"Is there a temple on this #skerry?"
"This is not a skerry. We call it thuruthu. There's a temple for lovers---the Place of No Return."
"Lovers?"
"Only couples are allowed. If they are truly lovers, they won't return."
"What happens to them?"
"What happened to us?"

They let their fingers search, grasping, teasing, caressing each #hollow and vein, following the creases, the mounts and the valleys, racing, slowing, their breaths cooling and blowing winds that ruffle all those layers which years have deposited;

1/4
close but a little away but closer than ever; no weeping willows, just tresses uncared but natural above, laying shadows; tears as dew or rivulets dampen, soften, the smell of earth ploughed fresh, each muscle straining to produce;
2/4
landscape urging the farmers, as they pluck, cut, dig deeper, harsh at times, kneading the flesh between fingers, feeling the texture, sensing what it is, what it should be; weeds ripped, searching up, below, side and over till the roots of disuse are gripped, mangled,
3/4
strangled, shed aside; little blossoms, tiny hair standing, trying, asking forgiveness, granted, growing; fingers feeling, nerves awakened, kisses, little bites, pinches, sucking tenderly; the morning over marshes of yesterday, the pasture of today, life, life, life...

With much #astuteness,
A modus operandi
To fail: shut out all.

When I talked about love,
Your #pejorative criticism
Could not be mistaken
For jealousy or possessiveness.
Undisguised malice,
Wielded so brutally,
Leaving no survivors,
When we talked about love.

Zombies don't shuffle
And #forage for human flesh.
They aren't creeps like us.
