C.S. Keskuela Poems

the night sings a silent sonata
moves in a swirling minuet of colour
as the aurora dances across the sky
painting the universe
...

i'm trying to remember
remember how i used to build the walls
surrounding my heart
so no one could see the real me
...

a flower blooming in the dark
searching out that one spark
the light source of its soul
...

i love you
as one can only love a like soul
my fantasy lover
so kind and gentle
...

gazing intently toward me you see into my soul
seeking...what?
that over myself i've retained no control
captured as neatly as a fish in a net
...

you glance so delights me
your gaze sends tingles through every inch of my skin
as i try to stay silent and still
unable to truly show how i feel in that moment
...

last night i dreamt
a happy ending
foolish dreams these are
yet i cannot banish my silly optimism
...

seeking...
unconventionality
sometimes the unbearable klutz
sometimes the brilliant putz
...

i cede
to this longing deep inside
to the fire in your eyes
to the future i cannot see
...

flying through the air
i dream
the freedom of the wind in my hair
...
