If Only...
If only you could know that I can see through you,
the way you talk to me, your smile tells it all,
that touch of yours...so sparse, unintended,
yet so warm, it melts me down…
I know you desire me, your eyes tell it all,
It’s not just physical, you love the way I pep you up,
annoy you, make you sulk…
and the endless string of favors you just
love doing for me, I know you care!
It’s as simple as that, you are my mirror-image,
If I see you 'hopelessly in love', of course, I am in too!

Maya
Maya is when
We know
Deep within
We are all
Bare, bony,
Scary, ugly
Skeletons…
Yet we fall
For the
Outer layer
Of body
Beautiful,
Face graceful,
Smile wonderful
Eyes bountiful…
Behaviour
Tactful -
That makes the
Whole nature

Fearlessly
When you write
Write fearlessly
Don't think
What your
Parents
Will say,
Don't think
What your
Children
Will say
Don't think
What your
Siblings
Will say,
Don't think
What your
Relations
Will say

Ego
All the Ego
He had built
Over the years
By demeaning others
Decimating others
Silencing others -
Undermining others
Negating them
Forgetting them
Overriding them
Overtaking them
All that Ego
Of his hard-hitting
Efforts…
Got destroyed
In a jiffy -
When the earth

Time Eternity
The stinks of your
Sweat -
And the smells
Of your body...
May be
Repulsive
To you.
But to me,
They say:
If you love me
In my youth
And beauty,
Would you
Love me…
When I’m
Old and ugly?
And I imagine
Your

Love
Loving you has been a way of life
Everyday I live to love you
It’s an endless passion, a burning desire,
I just can’t have enough of you…
Yes it is true, you are my beloved,
You fulfill my every need,
You are God’s gift to me
in every way that I can see.
Your touch, your smile,
and that very loving gaze,
Your smell, your breath,
It’s all a magical haze…
You are Mine – that’s all I know,
Let the world go its own way
I’ll forever remain yours,
Let you be known – it is for sure!

Drinking
Christmas is all about drinking
Let’s have another peg
As if every day we don’t keep
Drinking…
Let’s have another peg
As if you and me
Need an occasion for drinking
Let’s have another peg
How about making this
Festival worthwhile…
And take a pledge to stop
Drinking?
Promises are for fools to keep
Let’s have another peg.

For You, With Me
The Touch of my Bosom
On your Chest,
I’ll wait for the day
When East meets West.
The Feel of my Fingers
On your Face,
Making Love
In a lilting pace…
My Lips on your Mouth
Suckling Slow,
As if they have
Nowhere to go..!
My Hands on your Arms
Sliding through
Panting to glide
All over you…

Temple
O Lord Almighty,
In the temple of
My heart,
I pray to thee
That you’ll come to me
When the need be
In that hour of need
When I need you
And you need me.
Even if destiny wills it
For us not to make it thru.
Let it be known to you,
That no matter what be,
I’ve always belonged to thee.
In distress or happiness,
Failures and success,
You and me, me and you,
We remain together in this

Love and Lust
Bodies Entwined
Hearts Resounding
the shivers of sweat
coming and going
Those inhibited places
opening up: slowly, gently,
delicately…
losing inhibitions
new sensations
A touch here
and a touch there
smokeless fire!
a miracle invisible
to 'him and her'…
Yet to You and Me
engulfed in passion…
lustful love or lovable lust?
