The  way you seduce

With your eyes

If only you knew

How tormenting are my nights

I feel them

Upon me

Smiling

Teasing

Till I rise...

The way you pierce

My very being

Clouding my vision

While I find myself

In your eyes

If only you could realise

But you only smile

 Sometimes when I brood over the choices

I have made in the past

What I have lost

What I have gained

I see myself giving...

Pieces of me

In the search of love

I carry no regrets

For I am a destiny's child

Bound to course my path

So much of me is gone

So much of me is reborn

Like ashes memories float

The chaos within

Has also subsided

I live 

To weave tales of pathos of love

And desires

The twinkling in my eyes

My whispering sensuality

My zest to still believe in love

I continue to breathe

In my crimson verses.

I replayed those songs

Which you had once shared

During those moments of love

So haunting were the lyrics

It choked my heart

With ache

But I continued to play

Till they became mere songs of love.

Don't say anything
Your words make me emotional, he pleaded

Let me say
What is left, she replied

You are gone
And I've withdrawn
I no longer express
For there's nothing left

You have engaged yourself in work
While I have poured myself in verses

These words of ache will fade as well
You will miss what you lost
I know how much I have loved
And waited
But now these words are meaningless

Still I have no complaints
For you were a stranger then
And eventually became again.

©LR

 

What you called love

And what I understood of love

The chasm couldn't be filled

With mere words

The fragrance of love

Lost its shimmer

But still I hold on to

Something called love.

©LR

 I would lie

Next to you

For hours

Wide awake

Watching you dream into the night

Sorting your messy tresess

Kissing you on the forehead

I won't go further

For some moments are only to be sensed

And imprinted

In silence.

©LR

 The lure in your eyes

Has blanketed my being

They leave me restless

When I moon into them

They promise a passage

To my primeval darkness

Such is the trap of their gaze

You know

So you play

With your eyes.

©LR

 A stardust am I

Will merge into ashes

Here am I

Offering you my sinuous flesh

Every curve you visit

Will leave you breathless

For my juices will be fresh

As my dense forests

See through my navel

Worship my sculpted posture

I'm no ordinary woman

I'll bring you

Your desired death!

©LR

Was it the rumbling of the thunder

Was it the anticipation

Of your hunger

For when you started drinking

From my third eye

I became

The curve of turbulence.

©LR

 I'd like to meet you again

Before I close my eyes

Even if we weren't socially tied

Even if you didn't love me

Even if I searched for you 

In others

All throughout my life.

©LR

 A sea of sailors

Pursuing 

To plunge in my waters

To find themselves

Not the woman

In her solitudinal distance

Hordes of travellers

Lost in lustful desires

Knocking on my door

For a glimpse of flesh

Flashing

And bragging about their power

So shallow are they

How will they even know

What am I composed of

Scars of experience

And pathos of love.

©LR

 How strange to still dream of you

When we have parted our ways

Maybe you still live in me

Somewhere

I ve tried to replace the voidness

You created

But was ultimately lost

In the process

Now, it's only me

And you sometimes

In my subconscious.

©LR

 You don't even know

How cluttered my heart is

You don't even realise

You are the cause of my misery

How I ache

To be with you

To touch me

Make me alive

How much I love you

I don't even know

How much I miss you

You would never know.

©LR

 I don't get mad at you anymore

When you become inexplicably silent

When you maintain convenient distance

I feel absolutely nothing

Neither rage

Or lingering ache

I immerse in myself

For I ve leant the art of finding solace

Your forevers

In those fleeting moments

Haunted me then

But now I no longer wait

For your reappearance

You are gone

And I ve reconciled with self 

©LR

 I shall keep it simmering

With you

Or without you

Coz my fire

Rages from within

Not just for a specific season

So don't have any illusions

You will be only wood

In my forest of desires.

©LR

 I wish to capture your sensuality

Someday

Your potrait

A reclining nude

Draped only in cascading tresess

Veiled in flaming layers

Someday in my passionate frenzy

I wish you

To be my muse.

©LR

 The rage you exhibit

When you clutch yours tresess high

Exposing your bare midriff

And those curves to die

I watch you agape

Not missing a second of your glimpse

When appear in the balcony

Like a red moon

Blazing the night.

©LR

 What will you prefer down there, he asked

The tongue that probes

Or the tongue which whispers

Use whatever you desire, she replied

Just that ache should linger

With your signature.

©LR

 

And I've never known

The feeling of wanting someone

So much that nothing else

Or no one else will do

So I wait for the day

When I' ll embrace you in my arms

And feel your earthy warmth

Touching your soul

Not your flesh

For I want you

And us

To be complete

To fill

With what we lost.

©LR

 The wildness in your eyes

Has blanketed my being

I feel restless 

And disconcerting

The depth in yours eyes

Holds promise of primeval darkness

A passage

Of life and death.

©LR

 I made love to her

Open eyed

Days and nights

But that night

I wanted to taste her

When she was barely alive

She was sleeping by my side

Tresess scattered

Her modesty, barely covered

I dragged her gently

To the edge of the bed

Lifting her legs on my shoulder

I knelt on the floor

Tenderly, I opened her crumpled petals 

With my lips

She moaned

Still sleepy

As I delved deeper

She groaned 'what are you doing'

But there was no stopping me

For I wanted to taste her

In her sublimal state

As she twisted in agony

I cushioned her waist with a pillow

And inserted...

Rest is history.

©LR

 Who will be the hunter

And who will be the hunted

We will see, darling

When I take you

Open eyed

With my tresess scattered

And plastered on my moist breasts

Don't brag

Don't try to impress me with words

For when I play

I play royally

With my eyes

Period!

©LR

 Everyday I get closer to you

Every moment I touch you

In whispering feathers

Everyday, an inch closer

You wouldn't know

For you deliberately elude

How I want you

You know everything

Still you remain knowingly ignorant.

©LR

 With the ache in my petals

And the hickeys on my thighs

I struggle to keep steady gait

But you have signatured the night

With your childlike inquest

Countless ripples arise

When graze my petals

I ache

The pain so sweetly imprinted

I still want you

And your moist lips

Plumbing depths.
