His medical profession took a toll on our marriage
He was never there 
I tried to keep myself engaged
But the voidness overwhelmed my being
And then I noticed him
Our new gardener, silent yet conspicuous 
I never realised when it became a ritual
He grew on me

The day I crossed the threshold
I did not know why
I just went there and stood beside him
He acknowledged my presence 
And went back to his work 

His indifference stirred something in me 
A rage swept over
And I started crying
He stopped
Lifting me in his arms
He carried me towards the dense greenery 
When he laid me on the earth
Our eyes met
And they spoke 
 
Everything blurred
As the wind whistled
And the thunder rumbled in the distant horizon 
My earth got soaked 
With his seeds

 
We returned
Soiled in passion 
After that encounter 
I never saw him again.

 Her flower was wild and unkempt

Yet I loved her earthy essence

For I love exploring the wilderness

Gradually foresting my way to her wildflower 

Nestled in her dense forests 

Her lips bloom to my touch

Her core, expand 

Waiting for my face to be tucked between her legs

She doesn't moan

She inhales deeply

Her eyes castaway 

I know she's not with me there

We both are in our ecstasy spaces 

Sex isn't about penetration 

It's the transfer of energy

A symphony of fire and ice.

 What's on your mind, he asked
Nothing, I replied 
Maybe some fantasies to experience, he probed further 
Still nothing, I replied

My mind is blank
Even if my flesh is lush
I simply want to dwell in the beauty of the moment
You have the knack for sex
While I possess the art for intimacy 
You dunno what you are dealing with
Even if you exercise your power
But when I weave my poetry on your flesh
You will realise I am not like others

I merely don't tease with words
I capture your very essence.

 Yes I crave for you
But I don't wish to smoulder it in lust
Or flicker it with love
I just wish to be intimate

To be around you
In meaningful silence
Where our beats have their own melodious resonance 

I just want to be with you
Dwelling in the beauty of the present.

 The desire to undress you in the confines of my car

Feathering your curves and edges with my breath

While grabbing your hair

To it's fragrance

Trying to find your moles 

Nestled here and there

In the dim lit ambience

And cushioning your voluptuous derrie

On my throbbing hardness

The overwhelming idea of it

Literally leaves me restless.

 Her back was an invitation

I couldn't resist

I followed her scooty blindly in my bike

With her saree plastered in the drizzle 

Her bra outline visible

And that voluptuous curves 

She was undeniable lure

As she reached her destination

She found me waiting at a distance 

Our eyes met

And our eyes whispered 

She looked streamy

And I, lust struck

She understood...

As she opened her door

Magnetically I followed her

She didn't object 

She simply latched the door behind us

I restricted her when she started stripping 

I just want to lick the pearls from your luxuriant flesh, I murmered 

I started with her neck...

 Each thrust was deeper than the last
And it hurt 
Literally ripping my flesh

I could barely breathe
Coz that was not me
Rear entry
But that's what he desired
And I complied, unwillingly

All of you is mine now
Every crevice and every curve
He hoarsely whispered in my ears 
His hands fisted and tangled in my hair

My eyes blurred with tears
As I watched the crowd below the window 
A knock on the door 
We collected ourselves
Putting up the charade of taking notes
For the upcoming meeting 

As his wife entered
I hobbled out of his chamber
With a throbbing pain in my rear.

 And we kissed 
She stopped kissing
Looked into my eyes
And started smiling
And resumed kissing 

In that second I realised she was in love
While lustful desires were overriding my mind
I felt guilty 
I wanted to stop and flee 
But her earthy warmth drew me closer in her whirlpool 
We had been dating for a while
Being intimate was the natural course 
But love was never on my mind 

She was in symphony with my sexual appetite 
She played along with role plays 
She did everything for my gratification
But that moment when I saw love in her eyes
I crumbled
I didn't want to loose her with denial
But I couldn't promise her a future
We stopped kissing
And searched each other's eyes
She saw through my unspoken words

She smiled again
And left.

 Everytime you dismissed my feelings
Everytime you made me feel unseen
And everytime you left me in lurch

I stopped giving
I stopped initiating 
I just withdrew into a cocoon 
Where I protected my peace
Where I valued my self

I simply gave up
For when you were cutting the strings
You didn't realise one day
It will be a you 
And I.

 He just wanted a hug 

But I went ahead and kissed him 

He tried to keep pace with my thirst 

But faded 

We ended abruptly

With the looming fear of being caught

I came back with my heart thudding

Low, eyes brimming

I realised what I have been missing 

All these years

The touch of a man

It has been more than a decade of hibernation

In the passage of heartbreak and deceit

I lost myself somewhere

But that chance encounter soaked my being

The mere touch of his soft hands on mine

I realised I was still alive 

Somewhere

Somehow 

I knew he desired me like others 

And I still imbued with love

End of the story.
