Pearls in my smile
You took them all away&#8230;.
To pave the courtyard of your home.

We had hoped it would make us wet
Instead the sun shone bright
And then there was love-light.

		<description><![CDATA[Overt feelings
in my eyes
grow naked tendrils that you dread
they stretch and touch
the chill making you gasp
inviting you deep
into dingy darkness
a world so different from your own
you squirm, look away
something gnaws your insides
like it does mine
yet… in different ways…
a covert hand finds a coin
the musical tinkle as it drops into the outstretched bowl
fills your heart
as it [...]]]></description>

With silken fetters she will make me prisoner
Pull out my tongue and sew my lips
My broken heart or tears, she will never heed.

No one knows its true definition
And when one day it breaks your heart
To heal there is no handy prescription.

Give me your hands
Let me keep them in mine
Kiss each and every line
They will be returned after a while&#8230;

you annihilated me…
my vocal silence, a potent acquiescence
aiding and abetting you in every way&#8230;   
I sharpened the blade
so you could carve me with ease
in designs you chose
superfluous bits thrown away
to putrefy
where no eyes could reach&#8230;   
My eyes begged you for a swig
from the goblet of poison, sweeter than nectar

Those twenty eight days of my existence
When misunderstood motives and misread cues
Took me on a ride to heaven’s door on love’s gossamer wings….

		<description><![CDATA[Turn right
Switch off the light
Turn left
It still doesn’t seem right
Thoughts like a kite
On wings, are on a flight
Somewhere inside like termites
Fears eat away tiny bite by bite
The cool night
And the moonlight
Only ignite
Emotions uptight
Lost in a cavern
In life’s downturn
I toss and turn
As restless my insides churn
Trying to discern
The new pattern
In fire I burn
For an upturn I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Words
meanings lost in transit
create havoc
change white to black&#8230;
Upheavals in closed chambers
return favors
making strangers
of lovers&#8230;
Broken bits
flotsam and jetsam
flow down salty rivers
seeking salvation&#8230;
Some others buried
in silences
deeper than the deepest
where none dare excavate&#8230;
Rascal Love
in momentary hiding
mischievously laughs
in derision….
- Shail Mohan (March 2010)
