Faded Embers

By Jay M

 

Oft of an exquisite dawn,

Your thoughts come to me;

As memories

of a languorous nights

sibilance of silk,

Embers fanned along an amative lines curve.

Of the wind that awaited instructions,

To carry cries of amatory depths explored;

Whispered bliss

a cadence sheathed by moonlit silver.

Oft of an exquisite dawn,

Your thoughts come to me;

As I lay upon a quilt

birdsong woven,

Reaching out

a hello to heady tango spiced breath…

… a wish for ardent dreams

greets,

A lilting sigh of deception.

A prey of passion…

JayM is a poet and writer from Mumbai, India, who strives to make sense of the increasingly multiple, paradoxical and ambiguous world around him through his verse and prose. He writes poetry – free verse and haiku, apart from satire based on his travels. He takes life with a pinch of salt, and advocates that doing so makes it highly palatable.
