romances foretold

"......esque"

Of how faces describe predicaments
far long ago
even before they are nurtured
leave alone nourished,
fed and sold to customers.

The inevitable sign of failure
we fail to see
as we deterministically allow events to unfold
exactly the way they would
open a wide space between legs
allow ourselves to beliefs and concepts
hardly true but only understood in
different times and probably at a different space.
It's always too late, then.

If proximity always makes wrong choices
how are we supposed to choose?
he found love in proximity
why shouldn't it work for me?
Just as every man is different
be it is insides, hypocrisy and desires
so are every woman and
I am just one.

Of how that one curve on your face
one expression would reveal a side of you
i have never seen
and will make me wonder about
my hopes and aspirations for you
ill fated and dark destinations,
they are headed at.

Reviews

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

I was particularly drawn to these lines.......open a wide space between legs
allow ourselves to beliefs and concepts. Makes me think that perhaps this could be about someone who refuses to give up their morals and beliefs for love. An excellent piece.

[Siddhartha]

The streak of fatalism runs through out this work. The hint of resignation, the urge to yield inspite of the doom that is almost certain to befall. This is a beautiful piece - sad and wistful yet beautiful.
