Unspoken Words

Silence hung in the air

As they kept gazing at each other

It had been minutes

Before they settled down

Opposite to each other

Eyes locked

It was years

Since they last met

The love that had bonded them once

Now weathered

There was so much to convey

So much to unleash

But no words

Just trickling drops

That blurred their feelings

Between those unspoken words

Between the noiseless chaos

With hearts soaked

They realized

Nothing could extinguish the flame

They had enkindled years back

Not even the prolonged distance

Not even the withered flesh

For it was neither love nor lust

A profound connect between two souls

That transcended words.

Always There

I couldn't sleep, she said

When he found her by the balcony

Overlooking the sea

Why couldn't you

What is bothering you, he asked

The thought of us separating by sunrise, she replied

The moments we weaved

The life we infused, in each other

The fragrance of this memory

Will ache

You know, so do I

This was meant to be like this, he smiled

As he cradled her from behind

We were destined to love

Yet live apart

Both being tied by matrimonial thread

It pains to let you go

But there's no other way to it

Only to love each other

And find peace

Knowing we are there, for each other

Except You

Why haven't you married, she asked

As they sat on the beach

Watching the waves of feelings

Crashing by their shore

How can I, he replied

It won't be fair to the person

If I do

When my heart, 

Still yearns for you

After all these years

I tried to find you

In each of them

All I felt was a voidenss within

Coz they fade

With their flesh

Whereas you have stayed

You deny me

As you deny yourself

Of all that could have been between us

Yet, I wait

Why

No one can replace you

Except you.

The Moon

So I decided to walk away

There was nothing left

Except a facade

We had been maintaining

Till date

You didn't even realize

When you lost me

Such was your indifference 

To my existence

The sacrifices and struggles

All that I have made

You weren't worth it

So I have decided to be heartless

And walk away

To heal and recreate myself

For I am the moon

Crescent, you made me

But I am determined to bloom.

Purity of presence

You do not have to reciprocate

Lemme write tonight

Lemme unwind my feelings

Dunno where I am heading

The turbulence within, is inescapable

All that I wish

Is your presence

The way you provide succour to my chaos

Without being judgemental

Tonight I feel the need of you

Your shoulder, to cry my heart out

So much, how long will I carry

I need strength

The purity of your presence

A hand for support.

Still Aches

You knew I was falling in love

While you made love

You knew the intensity of my passion

When you made love with aggression

I was the strength

Till you became my weakness

Blinded by emotions

I let you, 

Mess up my existence

Why couldn't I do without love

When we had collided 

To quench our thirst

Coz while you touched me with lust

I let you

Permeate my heart

My mistake, maybe

But I couldn't do without love

And that's why it aches

Still aches
Of all that was.

In my Silence

When I withdraw into silence

Don't misconstrue it as my arrogance

I am going through an inner turbulence

My soul seeks serenity

So I let it engulf me

To be shattered of my being

Ultimately, I collect those pieces

And reconstruct a new me.

Before you Come

You are trouble, I know

So lemme trouble you a bit more

Before your come closer 

To unravel me

With your insatiable desires

Lemme offer you my lingerie

Smell it's fragrance

Soak in it's muskiness

Realise my prowess

Before you come closer to me

I know, you won't sustain

Once inside me

So moisten yourself

With my gems

Before you drown in my ocean

I will let you swim

But only, on my conditions

So wait, my boy

Till I test your potency.

Be my Audience

Don't come closer to me

Just be there, by the leather chair

And be my audience

I wear nothing

Except a wicked smile

Swaying my hips

Sauntering towards you

I ignite your senses

But from a distance

I see your deliriousness

As your masculinity swells

From your decent layers

But not tonight, baby

You will be my audience

I trace myself, with my fingers

From my lips to my neck

From my breasts to my navel

And stop there

I spread my legs

By the edge of the bed

For you to see

How the flower blooms

Without your seed, also

Be my guest, tonight.

The Departure

Do we have time, he asked 

As he winked at me

Indicating towards the washroom

We barely had time

My flight was already running in the tarmac

And the queue had started forming

But the temptation was difficult to resist

So we headed towards a desolate spot, discreetly

The cubicles were small for any lavish indulgence

But we both knew

What we desired

He placed me on the basin counter

With one hand securing my hands

The other unbuttoning my shirt 

Unclasping my modesty

He worked smoothly

The chilling sensation of his tongue

On my nipples

I shuddered in pleasure

He started suckling my breasts

Like a baby latching on to his mother

I moaned inwardly

As he suckled every traces of my essence

I could feel his robustness

Grazing against my thighs

But we weren't inclined for the act

It was the pact, between us

When I am the giver

And he is the receiver of the
ambrosia that I offer

His lips on my breasts

And my lingering taste on his lips

Before the departure, whenever

Our honeyed secret.

The Room

The room is still full of emotions

Every corner, echoes of our indulgence

The walls, still signatured with our passion

Everything is still the same

Only you have disappeared

Somewhere in the horizon

I sense you

Even in your absence

Even in your silence

I touch the surface

Trying to assemble our footprints

But dust blurs my vision

And I choke in upheaval of emotions

In the room that we had framed.

By the mirror

I will feed your soul

With my hunger

By the mirror

So that you see

How you melt into me

When I plunge 

Into your divine waters

Nestling my breath

On your neck

Clasping you, to my brawniness

Bruising your breasts

I will wreck you

As you cling to me

I will imprint myself

By the mirror

So when I am gone

You will cherish my signature

And realise

What it is like
To be devoured by an animal

By the mirror.

The Moon and I

The moon was was nude

So was I 

She cast her spell

So did I 

She enveloped your being

In her quietude

I bloomed your thoughts

In my solitude

It's the moon in me

That you see.

My Darling,

I have you, raging

In my blood

And the only way

I can quench my thirst is when

I get my hands on you

Ripping every shred of your elegance

Drinking from those beguiling eyes

Breathing from your luscious lips

Tracing every curve

That leads me to primeval darkness

I will consume your flesh

Till you stress, hurt me

Till you moan, my name

Till I bathe you

In my sweat

And a chilling tranquility

Settles on me

Dominance it is

That I crave, 'my darling'!
