ABRAZO - AN EMBRACE

Cold does comfort not

it sends shivers down my fingertips,

Blue from scanning for warmth

Searching for unexpected quivers

Searching, for the Abrazo, the embrace

That Encircling ardor with passion restrained

snug within a blanket of disbelief

Cozy from  flowing similitudes

The artful entwining of shadowy whispers

Etching smiles on Life's memories

Memories of a path hidden from cynosure

stealing kisses behind closed doors

Life embraced with all its inequity

rejoicing, and revelling in its anonymity

Feeding on crumbs carefully left on a hidden path

Like Fairy tale fragments, that guide the lost and hungry

There is no time to feel hurt or angry

Just warm; like a sip of carefully curated brandy

while sailing along the crest of a silvery moon

Morning, Night or Noon

Another empty morning, a haze in the air

Inquisitive, but the canvas is bare

Cut for a take or Curtains for a drama

Abstinence in the middle of a saga

Cinderella at the stroke of midnight

Left because it was right

Leaving a trail of Gold and glitter

and a fragile glass slipper

But left am I in virtual space

within the words I embrace
