Eila Mahima Jaipaul Poems

I've failed you
in the instant between
the breath of loving a friend
and loving a lover
...

is your name love?
i have been looking for you
searching for you
wondering why
...

love, I fall apart
feeling me seeping out of me
my life slipping
floating, shifting
...

I should have known
you'd never be anything more
than what I made you into.
but when you have never known a thing
...

draw me my love
by all means you posses
capture my fancy
like the first rays
...

the emptiness
was more empty than I ever remembered
vaster, like a hunger
great enough to consume me
...

I can feel you
there waiting for me;
like the smell of perfume
or the feel of silk
...

Pierce me with your passion
Spread me across your world
Take it because it’s given
Take it because it’s yours
...

there resides a god in me
I didn't realize he lived here
until he was already there.
when his eyes
...

Like a cumulus cloud
enlarged before
a grand rainstorm
you roll in
...
