Eila Mahima Jaipaul(11/26/1971)

I was born in Brooklyn, but I now live in upstate NY with my family. I am a faux
stained glass artist, a lover, a journalist, a thinker, a mechanic, a passionate
person... with much too much time on my hands. I've been writing since I was
16... perhaps one day I'll be good at it?

'For when I sample your angel'd prose, my heart soars... my soul is bliss... '
One can only dream!

Eila means 'the Earth' and Mahima means 'Greatness'

...And They Say Love Is Blind

I ran easily through the night
despite the path
I was one with the shadows
slipping through moonlight
and conscience thought
to your face.
its almost as clear
to my eyes, as the light of the sun.

...and they say love is blind?

~

I drew a thin line
but the line, needed a partner,
could not live on paper
alone.

When you cut it,
letting blood flow
through the letters...
grief gets a new name.

29 June

leaf skeletons
stems hollow
tiny veins, rigid
support air
where once lay
fragrant memory

A Beautiful Dream

you appear there
in front of me
very nearly transparent
your presence looking like a reflection
in a mist shrouded mirror
so hazy a strong puff
might blow you away like fog
yet this Love is not the memory
of a beautiful dream...
when I reach out
you are there

A Bridge To Your Precipice

night envelopes my pain and sorrow.
moon's light fails to reach even this place
there is no reprieve
in this vacuum
where I asked a question
with no reply.
so I'll continue on in silence
building bridges to the edge of your precipice
where we meet one day
to work out how to deny this love.
all the while I'll
believe less and less
in mercy, compassion,
and hope.

A Call Of Lovers

I still feel
where you touched me
beloved of heart and soul
I am not a love lost
beyond regaining
call to me
and I will come to you
without delay
without fail
I will come
heart open
this I swear

A Fine Pair We

a fine pair we
you, with lack of passion trust
I, with love balanced on edge.
could you but understand
passion, once sparked
takes on a life all its own
constantly growing and breathing love fire
like an erotic shimmering golden dragon
could I but accept
the simplicity and elegance
of your desire
because it just is.
something akin to the sun
it doesn't ever leave
it just disappears, because it must
oh yes dearest heart
a very fine pair we.

A Firefly In The World Of Dreams-

closing my eyes I sleep
body floating in darkness
without substance
whether I lay up or down
or sideways
I do not know
there is no direction here
all around me in the blackness
fireflies seemingly twinkled
a vast horde fading away
into unimaginable distance
those were dreams
the dreams of men and women
they were my dreams
I rove the darkness ably
darting and weaving through the sparkles
trying to find you
somewhere across this world of dreams
all glittering in-front of me
