My Only Desire…
Let me begin by addressing the question at hand..my life is certainly not what I pictured a year ago… kinda! I embarked on a trajectory of life a year ago forcibly down a familiar path to find purpose in life. I did not want to take this beaten path but felt like I had no…

The way you are..
When I close my eyes I see you gazing back at me Those doe eyes filled with sorrow and yearning, set me free! When I wander near wild jasmine I feel you next to me Your soft silky hair so ravenously black my pillow it used to be! Huddled, cuddled we would spend the night…

A Whispered Tale..
Echoes call from sky to sea Wishing they bring my love to me The ancient peaks and trees standing strong speak that to me you belong! May the winter winds carry my song A whispered tale of love forlorn The flame of my love will ever burn Your heartfelt call I will not spurn; A…

A Wicked Game
A surreptitious encounter unforeseen Emancipated hearts bound together in a dream Cautious though they were, now caught in Love’s scheme True Love will never die Despite how hard you try Hiding it will only make you cry Denying it a great, foolish lie! A wicked game of pain The fear of re-uniting again Separation now…

The Sun an inferno ablaze with passion The Moon weathered by her apprehension Holding one another in a delicate cosmic balance Whispering their love…

I squintingly gaze at the city landmarks through a misty hazeAs the rain sweeps in, I reminisce on my previous staysNostalgia is well and truly in the airSipping my warm and luscious French roast I sit and stare! Life seems so simple here, as though painted black and whiteTime seems to slow down, rather than…

Imperceptibly, gradually..
Imperceptibly, gradually.. Written by: XquistLife Date: 16/10/23 The one who once captured my gaze Is today missing from my sight as though lost in a maze The one who I was devoted to and adored as the goddess of innocence Has made me a stranger today, her once sweet kiss has become poisonous The one…

Waking Up..
Like a sail boat blowing in the winter breeze No course, no port, no current to seize Buffeted, bruised and bracing she flows The passage of time gathers, it the grows! Seeking for a definite journey, she hopes To avoid a life floating aimlessly, she loathes Rolling, pitching and swaying to and fro No rest,…

The Unanswered Questions.. I would ask love!
I take a moment to gaze back and ponderThe very first moment I encountered you! It seems like a lifetime ago my memories wanderSeeing you I felt blessed, vindicated and renewed! I trusted, devoted and gave you my allYou invoked in me a joy I never knew I had lost! You continued to intrigue, entice…
