And then silence

The chats intensified

The exchanges became dense

The urge to see each other

Ultimately ended in video calls

And then silence

Coz there were no words left

To communicate their feelings

They kept gazing at each other for hours

Without words

His eyes penetrating her soul

His lips more than she could hold

There was a beauty 

In their silence.

Worst Nightmare

Of all the pain, I have endured,
You gave me the unimaginable pain

So dead are you,
Bereft of an ounce of emotion.
Even if it's your profession.
Some empathy I expected
But all that you are, is a depraved soul.

You were my ultimate pleasure
You became my worst nightmare.
Chapter closed.

We will meet again

Don't you say goodbye

We will meet again

Somewhere between the moon 

And ocean

Somewhere between the saltiness of our tears

Somewhere between our cosmic laughter

The moon immortalising us 

Beyond years

We will meet again

Switching seamlessly 

Between inescapable reality

And embracing each other in fluorescent dreams

We will meet again

And again.

Something Something

In those fracas, lies something
In the unspoken, whispers something
Between us, there is something.

And in that something
Might be the beginning
Of an uncharted journey
Between you and me.

Mouthful of Pleasure

He sketched her, possessed

Grey being the only shade

That's how he saw her

As she posed on the chaise

Her tresses sprawled

Her body ripened with age

He sketched her ebony nipples

Till they became red

The colour, he had desired on her

He infused her bosom with life

Till she dripped with milky essence

He slipped to her curvy waist

And caressed some violet

Some hickeys inked here and there

To flaunt, when she draped her layers

And when he bent down to splash her nucleus

There wasn't any colour to eclipse her duskiness

She was the colour of darkness

Bewitched, he probed deep in her gorge

Just that, it was his mouth

That he used to sketch.

Few Drops

Few drops of love
Is all that I yearned
For the final burial.

But life chose me
And I continue to live
Without those pearls.

Dunno Why

Sometimes I so wish you back in my life.
Somewhere, just you and me
Where I can put my head on your shoulders and cry.
Why

Years have cruised by
Yet you remain, in the chambers of my heart
Why.

I miss you
I miss us
I feel lost.
My love for you could never die.
Why

Me and Her

It was raining incessantly outside
Ravenshaw University bricks were flaming in the wash
A light breeze was caressing the trees
It was then when she entered the classroom.

Sprinkled in drops.
She regarded my sole presence
Composed, she started the sociological discourse.
The blackboard and chalk were her instruments.

But my mind was swimming somewhere.
The glimpse of drops nestled on her waist
Was distracting my senses.

Was it the aroma of earth or the breeze that carried her aura
Was it the chill in the air
Or the view of her contours, plastered.

Suddenly, she turned around and found me gaping.
Who blushed more, we chose to ignore

Time wrapped us in its ardor.
We waited, drenched in each others thoughts
The showers were ceasing
Yet it was still drizzling.

We had one umbrella to share
And we decided to move ahead.

Me and her, under one parapet.
So close, yet so distant
I felt her in my senses

As she left, I stood there
Under the drizzly skies
Soaking her within me.

Locking us

The locking of eyes
The interlocking of flesh
Words unsaid
And missed breathes

That's how I rage for you
That how I wish you
To frame us.

If I have to

If I have to wrap you
I will cradle you in my luxurious mounds
If I have to secure you
I will seal you in my virile earth

Creating us in the intermingling of desires.
That's how I wish us to secure us.
