Eila Mahima Jaipaul Poems

your breathless pools of blue
are returned to the ocean
where you were born
among the mermaids and dolphins.
...

I am an acrobat
walking high up on the wire
knowing well that I may fall
still I climb up higher.
...

Love, I've been told in the past
I was difficult to understand,
speaking more like a poet
than a person.
...

it is dark, shards of moonlight drift over us.
as you sit with me, the light from the candles dance across your skin.
I can still taste the ice wine on my lips.
it makes me feel very sensual
...

afternoon wobbled the earth.
equator north of middle
oceans in plain
china cracked
...

Sadness is a deceptively quiet sound.
Sighing through the gauze of my heart
it considers my soul.
...

cut off from you
I end up a small
damaged thing
never to be returned
...

I stood before you
naked soul
heart pounding, throat constricting
trembling.
...

what I wouldn't give
to see your dark skin
darken more
flush with desire
...

my sense of touch is enhanced
soaked in the feel of you
our skin together makes silk feel rough
I can smell the scent of you
...
