In Conversation

Take a breath

Get out of this feeling

And find yourself, she rebuked him.

What if,

I find myself in you, he retorted

That's utterly blasphemous, my lad

I am quite older to you

Not just in years 

But with experience

And I cannot think or practice incest, she asserted.

I find beauty not just in your eyes

But in what you write, he pleaded.

My words maybe a reflection of my soul

But I cannot encourage your tender thoughts

Find someone of your age

And maintain respectful distance, she besieged

I am beyond your reach!

Nothing to Say

The logs in the fireplace crackled with ferocity

Illuminated in it's glow

They both waited in meaningful silence

Yet none made a move

Till he took her hand 

Clasped her warmth in his slippery palms 

And looked into her eyes

Her uncertainty, faltering speech

Yet the unwavering gaze

He couldn't miss

There was so much to say

But words failed

Except for the tears

That blurred their vision

Cascading from their heart

Soaking their flesh

They kept gazing

Till the cinders of the eyes

Till the embers of the furnace

Embalmed their love.

The Lie

It was a lie, of course

That she didn't miss him

She did, every mili second of her existence

Was tuned to his thoughts

He wasn't the love she sought

He was the beast, she craved

He was the ultimate meat for her ripe flesh

The steamy hours of indulgence

The lingering ache, after he left

She did miss him, till date.

Wordless Binding

The face I wish to study in leisure

Over a cup of coffee

Will be yours

Over a wordless rendezvous

I wish to unravel

Your layers

The mystery that enshrouds you

The soul that sings of eloquent desires

The heart that still poignantly whispers of love

I wish to unfold those esoteric features

And that will be my way

Of making love to you

As I gaze at your navel

While sipping my aphrodisia.

With my Heart

Not with words

Not with my touch

I will make you mine

Not with my love

Not with my lust

I will come closer to you

I will make you mine

When I converse with your eyes

Immersing in them

Reading you over and over again

Of all the love and your pain

Sensing you

Wrapping you in my heart

Yes, I will make you mine

With my heart

The distance between us

I speak to you in myriad ways

Yet you do not hear my voice

I touch you, with my darkest desires

Yet you do not feel me in your flesh

I ache for you in my fantasies

Yet you are oblivious of my existence

You will never know

For I can never confess

I will yearn for you

In my silence

And in our distance

What you are to me

Neither I know

Nor would you.
