Dilemma

Is it okay?
Is it right?
That every night
I come to you

I lust you
And beg of you
For ever more,
What’s the cure?

You smell of sex
Every time
For one whole night,
You are all mine

Just the way it all began
“Let this one
And that one too”
I kept on asking
And you heeded too

Efforts

I'll not make
Any special
Efforts to
Please you

If you get
Pleased by my
Usual efforts
I'll thank my luck

If my efforts
Displease you
I'll say
Hard Luck
And wish you
‘Better Luck'
With someone else's
Efforts

Though I know

Natural

The vibrator
Told the dildo
Not to mess
Around with
Natural sex.

The dildo
Retorted:
Who are you
To tell me?

Don't you also
Mess around
With natural
Sex?

And anyway,
In this age of
Condoms,
Silicones,

Mother

Is becoming
A mother,
Selfish or
Selfless?

Selflessness
Is the way
In which
You serve
Your child.
Duty comes
First. Served
With love.

Selfishness
Is when you
Want to have
The pleasure
Of becoming
A mother,

A Plea

For me, time has stopped.
For you also? I want to know.
Nowhere do I want to go.
Just stay here with you.
How about you?
Would you not tell me
How you feel…
I keep guessing
And somehow I know
My guesses are true,
Yet I want to hear it from you.
Say something. Won't you?
It's been such a long time.
How long can I keep
Waiting for you?
I'm dying away despairingly,
Won't you come and save me?

Beauty

She may be
One of the
Many girls
You may see

To you,
She may be
One of the
Most ordinary.

In her,
You may not
Even see any
Beauty.

But for me,
She's my
Miss Universe.
She's my beautiful
Galaxy of sun, stars,

A Living Death

I think of
All the people
I've lost to
Death.

I miss them
All…

Can anybody
Answer
What happened
To them
After their death?

Are they living
Another life
As is the belief
In after-life
Or are they still
Loitering…

The Caste System

Doesn’t matter
If we are Brahmins
Or Kshatriyas,
Vaishyas
Or
Shudras.

The need for sex
Demeans us all…
The need for food
Starves us all…
The need for love
Weakens us all…

In the eyes of nature,
We are all equal.

Natural disasters
Don’t kill
The Brahmins,

O Beloved Moon

O Beloved Moon
Many sleepless nights
You glistened into my
Tearful eyes…
And like an Angelic light,
You lullabyed me ~
Into that long lost sleep.

Tonight I smile at you
With twinkling eyes :)
Krishna's come to my
Rescue.

HE says: I love you

Radha’s search has ended
She's found her soulmate.

Thanks to you for being there…
Thanks to HIM for salvaging me

Detonate

On all the other days
He'll incessantly…
Ignore my calls.

But on Valentine's Day
And on his Birthday
He'll surely
Pick up my calls
As if waiting
For me to say

Happy Valentine's Day
And wish him a
Happy Birthday
By gifting him
My broken heart

So that once again
He's able to
Exploit my weaknesses
