Eila Mahima Jaipaul Poems

we were smoky.
looking roiled and tumbled.
...

often
the world
was filled
with silent music,
...

Give me the mystery
of a night perfumed by your skin
and dreamy smoke only of me...
And by candlelight I shall show you
...

drawing you to me
I let you come
while I unfold myself
letting the slightest bit of me out
...

hit the lights Love, i like it dark in here
and since we're overdressed for an argument
lets strip off our first impressions,
they're only formal forefronts anyway,
...

bodiless I float in endless blackness
surrounded by a sea of lights,
an immense swirl of tiny pinpoints
glittering more sharply than stars on the clearest night,
...

everywhere in my world
feels empty.
but today it has the hollow emptiness
that only comes from a dwelling
...

dipping fingers
into my embroidered heart
I draw out words,
which seem to me,
...

sometimes I lay awake
whole nights,
in the bedding that did not contain you,
counting.
...

swirling like fountains
something called out mouths to temper.
I melted into the shape of the sun
while you knelt to discover
...
