Dear Elio (Eloise)

Dear Elio, our illicit whispers dance along with the wind

Dear Elio, your words brush against my skin

Our skies taint with pigments of blue

When they are blissed with ignorance of my mind dancing with you

And when some other man kisses my hand

Our ship docks at the shore of our dream land.


Dear Elio, your absence is a piercing knife

Dear Elio, I feel the wisp of your hand in mine

When my fingers run along the scented ink

My heart becomes a ship that sinks

In loveliness and in glee

In pain in the loss of our serenity.


Take my hand along the daffodils

Our footsteps burying the deep earth to reach uphill

If I shall die, it shall be from your lips

Kisses deciphering mischievous encrypts of a lunar eclipse

Because of that, dear Elio, I'll eagerly wait your letter back

Dear Elio, I'll wait for as long as my breath could last.


Dear Elio, how I wish to see the raw power of your name

Dear Elio, my insides scratch the wall screeching in vain

The weight of your soul flows through like your sunny curls

Debarred for lovesick girls so I seethe in your allure

Underneath the willow tree, clandestine vows guised as an afternoon tea.

As we live, so I shall not breathe

Oh my Dear, Sweet Elio - no, I shake my head,

I cross out that name we mask in shadowy threads

As I unveil this within ourselves, our time would come to a gleam

Oh my Dear, Sweet Elio or should I say, my Dear, Sweet Eloise.
