Music Playing, bass guitar strumming.
In my hand the blade cold and stained.
My eyes are fixed on this beautiful thing. As i braze my thumb tearing into skin.
I can feel a tear as it slides across my thigh, tight and deep the crimson flows.
The corner catches on my skin and bobbles of red appear on my cloths.
Feel that feeling that jumps, and i'm proud. Not ashamed anymore, but it still hurts deep down.
The pain is like a pushing itch, burrowing.
But I HAVE CONTROL. I can push or release.
I can watch the beautiful paint of the body colour my skin.
The potent smell of iron, seeping but welcome.
Welcome for my eyes, stunned and addicted.
Itchy and sore.
But needed.
lying awake in the middle of the night
when the world is almost dead
with the rain drops dripping one by one
it feels as if the sky is raining my tears;
fear, that’s what keeping me awake,
as i close my eyes and try to slam it shut,
it begins to creep and crawl all over my senses,
starting with the most obvious and
branching out to all corners of the mind;
why? what? how? so many questions,
yet very few answers, as the mind
spins its intricate web over my confidence,
leaving me high and dry, gasping for breath
and keeping me wide awake;
as i lay on my back with my
hands under my head,
staring at the darkened ceiling,
uncertain and confused;
it was not supposed to be like this,
no one mentioned a word about this,
staring vacantly at the darkened ceiling,
i could not sleep;
trying not to lose myself,
my mind keeps thinking about
the if’s and the probabilities,
without a care about the present;
and in the end, it was all a little too much to take,
as the fear of the unknown surround me from all sides,
and darkness creeping its way up slowly and steadily,
the nightmares loom larger and bigger,
blurring everything else before i collapsed into a restless sleep;
Getting up from my corner
i embark on my pink beauty
listen to my favorite music
keep driving
smiling at the kids
on the way
enjoying the pleasure
of riding alone
with the soulful breeze
flowing through my hair
gently brushing my face
i drive towards home
a pleasure ride!
I get an eerie feel
i look back
only in time
to see the darkness
unfold and chase me
this dark feeling
always chases me
wherever I go
no matter whatever I do
I can’t get it
out of my mind
I ride on
and it rides with me
slowly overtaking me
and penetrates me -
all the while whispering
strange words into my ears
i get that fear – a fear of this unknown
fear of losing my grip
fear of losing myself to it
i ride faster and faster
to reach home
before it grasps me
and takes me over completely!
But this darkness
shrewd as it is
outdoes me
and spreads before my eyes
blanking out the lights
and the blaring honks
until I see nothing but darkness
and silence folds in
with no music
to my ears
i give in to this darkness
i give in to this silence
without putting up a fight
i surrender myself!
Because I Love You
The pleasure that I find
when you take me in your arms
and hold my naked body close
as we become one
can not be described with words
for there are none
You say this is what the attraction is...
like a junkie needing the next fix
and you are right....only
theres so much more
Theres sitting across the table from you
watching you enjoy your dinner...
green leaf salad with purple onions and
mushrooms and black olives and bleu cheese,
and grilled salmon
or
a messy, sloppy, lotsa gravy roast beef po-boy
with a dill pickle
it makes no difference as long as its you across the table
Theres the way the corners of your eyes crinkle when you really laugh
the very distinctive sound of your voice
the familiar gestures that only I see
the way your glasses sit on your nose
and the look of mischief in your eye
The way you carefully tend your plants
and the poetry you write
your unfinished paintings
the special love you have for your girls
and the way your hand holds mine
The dancing in the kitchen on Saturday night
with a wine glass in one hand
and a wooden spoon in the other
watching your face as you sleep in the early morning light
the way you walk...so sure of yourself
The list goes on and on
The love continues to flow
Theres so very much more
Just wanted you to know
That's the reason I love you so much ! ..............
***** ALWAYS REMEMBER IN YOUR HEART *****
AWAKE IN YOUR HEART, REJOICE IN YOUR SOUL,
LET YOUR ESSENCE DISCOVER THE WONDERMENT THAT IS ALL AROUND!
WITH THE EYES OF A CHILD, LOOK TO THE BEAUTY THAT SURROUNDS YOU,
REVEL IN THE JOY THAT IS SLEEPING WITHIN YOU.
RECEIVE THE BLESSINGS THAT ARE YOURS FOR THE TAKING,
FOR IT IS IN LOVE THAT YOU WALK THIS PATH TODAY !!!!!!!!!
WITH LOVE , FAITH & SMILES,
Rashmi
I am your's
and you are mine,
together we'll stand
far longer than the end of time
Inseparable by death, by power or pain,
We two, together ever shall remain.
Untouchable by and possible form of harm,
this love will effortlessly keep our souls warm
Just like the Lady and her Lord,
We're tied together with an Astral Cord
And like them our souls move as one
from now till long after time is done.
Such power I have never known,
not when I was young,
not now that I am grown.
All wants, all needs
are satisfied,
by this love
no one else can provide.
For us awaits no true death,
no pain, and definately no sorrow.
For in eternity there is only now,
no yesterday or tomorrow.
Onto each other we will hold.
All our secrets shall be told.
And love shall grow, immense and enfold
Our two passionate hearts, our unstoppable souls.
Gods we will be! Gods of love,
The great StarDragon, and the graceful MoonDove.
As hot, as powerful as our passion, the Dragon shall be.
The Dove, smooth, elegant, and eternally sweet.
Separate parts intertwined,
together whole.
Unbeatable love,
Unconquerable Souls.
Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But my dream of a dreamwithin a dream?
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
