You come and leave

As per your convenience

You maintain distance

As per your mood swings

And so you came

To give a glimpse

Thereby fulfilling my needs

That's what is all left for me

I see you from the balcony

Crossing my path again

I choke within

In tormenting pain

You know...

Even if I ve stopped expressing

And find succour

Within self

You are no more there

But show a glimpse

To maintain your ' forever '

Just a man of words

Why do you still come

And knock my door

I'm tired of waiting for you ' forever '

I can't survive with a glimpse of yours

For I'm an essence of love

And desires.

The fragrance of you

Is still etched on my flesh

The ashes of your prowess

Still coats my legs

The ache for you

Still remains

And I wait for you

To rob my essence.

  When there's nothing left

Except whisper of memories

Between us

Another end

And another genesis

Of me

 I figured I lost you that day

When my wanton eyes desired the other woman 

We were still budding...

But I blurted out my lascivious wishes

I tried to veil it in a lighter vein

You didn't say anything 

But you left

To survive again 

With self respect

I realise

I have lost you forever.

If the other woman

Was worth losing me in the process

I hope you find enough worth there

Don't gravitate back to me

Ever again

Coz I won't be on the same page

I will move ahead

In my solitary depths

Where I will ink you

As another shallow page!

Waking up every morning

To realise you will never come back

The winter has chosen to remain harsh

The smog outside the window

Has exacerbated my feelings

I toss in agony

Clutching the cushion

Trying to find traces of your fragrance

But all that now remains

Is the gnawing space

You somewhere in the infinite horizon

Me still in the earthy terrain

Your seed

Still growing within me.

Our eyes met

For a brief second

And he smiled

I knew

He knew

Rest were oblivious

Of what our eyes transpired

Ohh those mischievous eyes

The way they caressed my flesh

The needles under my fabric attested

I sheathed my arms on my chest

He laughed winking at me

Embarrassed, I looked away

But I knew he was still gazing

Questioningly I looked back

His eyes were moist with desire

I knew

For I felt the same

Betwixt my legs

Only he knew

And I knew.

 Finally the showers graced 

I played a few romantic songs

And drenched myself 

In the monsoon essence

When there was no one to love 

I draped my naked flesh

And felt in love

With myself 

In a world of one night stands

Love has lost it's significance 

But I still believed in it

In spite of being betrayed time and again

The showers have dimmed 

So has my elementary feelings

I have comforted my soul

Saying 'be the love you seek '

 We all were drunk 

But I was comparatively sober 

Since one of us had to drop us at home

Her husband was lying in the back seat

Sloshed 

She was sitting beside me

Stealing glances

After a while she started caressing my thighs 

Till she felt my erection

It was becoming difficult to focus

On the road

So I pulled up to a deserted stretch

We both were simmering in flames 

But I didn't want to take the cliched route

I want to see you lady, I told her

She didn't ask me to elucidate 

She got down the car 

And stripped in front of the glaring lights

Displaying the magnificence of her voluptuous structure 

I didn't move

I watched her with gossamer patience 

She posed in every seductive angle

Sometimes clutching her breasts

As offering 

Sometimes giving me a glimpse of her bronzed rear 

But when she sat on the road

Spreading her legs

While dipping her fingers in her dripping floret 

I lost it

I got out the car 

And had passionate sex with her

There 

Under the starry skies

Near the eerie thicket 

As her husband snored soundly 

Ignorant.

 A drop from you

Is enough to quench my thirst

From your oceanic depths

Just a drop

To osmose your universe.
