 Our song was playing somewhere

The one you shared

The one we loved

The one that became us


The song was playing somewhere

Its tunes now so distant

The resonance so haunting

The effect so shattering


Our song

I hope you are still humming it

For I still feel you around me

When it plays somewhere.

Isn't it magical to heal oneself
After all the heart aches
The sufferance
The nightmarish experience
The haunting reminders
Of the choices we made

It isn't easy
But we are left with no options
But to heal
Losing ourselves
In the process of discovery

What we were
What we will be ultimately
Will remain a magical mystery.

 The sight of you

With nothing

But your anklets


And the passage

From your anklets

To your eclipsing moon

Divine death!

I dreamt of you last night
You were there
Just there

I wanted to reach out
But I recollected the ingrained hurt
And the disrespect

I withdrew
Blocking your memories again
But I wonder till when
How long will you haunt me
With your absence!

 Why have you become so silent, he asked


In my silence is my spark

In my darkness

I find solace

Everything around being a facade

I've chosen to be contained 

In self.

I will never get over the pain
Of missing you
So I've decided to live with it

Every moment
Every day
A reminder of the love
I invested my being in.

 An unknown odyssey

Filled with mystery

Roads curving into infinity


People and situations cease to affect

I withdraw into solitude

Lost in time and space


The story of me fading

As I become seasoned with earth

The beauty of everything

That was

That is

And that will be.

 To relish you

Between your legs

What a better way to satiate myself


The echo of your melody

The fragrance of your musk

The taste of you overwhelming my senses

Aphrodisiac!

 I will not touch you

With my hunger

But with my thirst

Not with my fingers

But with my tongue

Not on the couch

But in the washroom


Licking every single dew on your flesh

Till your moans infiltrate the walls

Till the fumes of desire

Blur your senses


I prefer to touch you savage

My lady.

 She knew the art

Of hiding the cucumber

In her garden

Till she shivered

Holding the fence of ecstasy

For life


She knew the art

Of gratifying her darkness

For none could have

Survived her darkness.

Who was who
What we did
How we plunged
I can't remember
Except that it quenched my fire.
