Mona Adviento Poems

On tiptoed steps, you made your way
To that sun-lit patch that makes my day
Of mirth, of life, of camaraderie
You rode on the wings of proximity
...

Cut me wide open with a paring knife
Watch me bleed under the cover of night
My dreams are filled with your lamentations
Denied by the chasm on which I reside
...

What, this dance over galaxies?
Eight million miles from the rest of the world,
Forsaking forever to bathe in stardust
In delirium over this liberty.
...

it’s time.
that forbidding moment when the call comes through,
through a lighted path, straight on, without faltering
steeled against the wiles of empathy and regret
...

In a heartbeat, a lifetime dawns upon the vigilant
searching through the mire for a glimmer of crystals.
In a word, the vista changes, a realization materializes
and everything else fades away into oblivion.
...

From a distance I see you swagger into a room
And conquer the very air with your commanding presence.
This show of self-possession, effortless- with the grace of a lion
An alpha male, personified- magnificently mine.
...

It’s the end of an era.
At this shore line, looking over the sea
I gaze towards that distant past
that housed a lifetime
...

Dream of me, love, when I’m far away
In the bliss of your slumber, remember me.
One eternal moment of shared sunlight
Lives on in my heart, Immortalized.
...

I gaze with eyes misted over at the path that I have trod
And look back at the petals of forever strewn upon the road.
And I wonder with my inner light how I have chanced upon crystal
That are now embedded in my eyes for no one knows how long.
...

YOu creep upon my consciousness as i try to obliterate the memory of our short-lived affair.
I smell you in the silence-your heat suffusing through my pores, ascending to my hypothalmus.
YOu throb in the stillness as I catch glimpses of your steely eyes, softened by the moonlight.
You kissed my hand in curiosity, it's calloused texture arousing your strength
...
