When your heart softens to a cottony wool


When your heart softens to a cottony wool
And melts from the waxy moonlight
Light footed clouds pass by on the wings of silence 
Ant tracks  begin to look like verses  of a lonely poet
Slender  spider webs  enclose you in a  prison.of steel grids
Wisps of gentle wind scorches your face 
The colors of fresh blooms,
intense, unrelenting, 
Chars you to cinders
And from the ashes a voice of love emerges
Seizes your heart , as if it were a criminal
Frog marches  it to a land of sorrows
And brings in you a joyous relief
Life, death, pain, misfortunes dwindle
A dew drop falling from a slimy slender  leaf
tears flow like lava, burning your essence
Arms that could nourish you are seeking minerals 
Are bent in supplication for eternity
I seek a glimpse of your love, a flicker.
So  my  love for you in  a catacomb
Of honey suckers.
