Whither will I wander
Now I'm aimless and alone?
anchor free and rudderless,
no harbour, haven, home.
Set afloat to drift along
a current or a breeze
in which direction should I go?

Ah Muse, elusive drug of my desire
intoxicate
frustrate
cast your sensuous spell
Tease me, let me taste but then
coldly withdraw
just out of fingertips reach
And I …
finally …

A book laid by ...
left open at the page where you last were reading,
face down.
A story that started so promisingly
but now, gathering dust,
neglected until the time when

No fix today to allay the yearning
for one drop of word to feed the fervour one more day.
But not to be .. no thought of me
or how you leave me craving,
wasting for the want of one more word.

Oh brutal friend
forever seeking to possess you
claim you hold you up as All
and oh, the irony

Oh brutal friend
forever seeking to possess me
Jealous lover you
sabotage each delight I crave
