"Abandoned Love" I have always loved you with the dust of my existence, Never a minute later or a second too soon. I have made art out of you in my head, Stealing glimpses when you were not looking. Your presence reflects in my hunger and still lingers in my poetry... As you were the only star in my entire universe, Giving solace to my tender aching soul. The warmth of your existence gave me the formidable drive to love you unconditionally. With those uncontrollable & uncontainable eyes of yours, you nudged me into this realm of romanticism. Remember? I used to say, "I will invade your heart one day, that day resistance will be pointless and you will have to surrender yourself to me with all your love." Deep down I knew the tides of your love are Never going to be calm but devastating. I was never meant to be complete as you were the other half, I was not supposed to have. This stroll down the amnesia lane drives me to forget & de...

"Reminiscence" When I first saw you, I felt like a barren land, deserted of water for ages. Forever I was to be yours, till the sun loves the moon, till the moon divorces the tides, until the end of time. Just to prove I was worth your love. I still see your name floating in the gust of winds. But, I no longer wish to catch it anymore.    Your love gave me music, an instrument but before I could even learn to play it, you left. The numbness of this void was so excruciating that it poured out the love out of my soul. Pardon me, as I did not get to tell you that it was neither your fault nor mine. For no lover has ever left the 'Garden of Love' without bleeding his heart out. The callous and indifferent demeanor of yours, fueled my passion even further but the fire which wreathed in me burned the goodness and all I could breath was the ashes of our unburnt love in my lungs turning me into this black mass of nothingness... For it was only on...

"Cinnamon Affair" You would have never left me, if only you knew what your touch did to me. Passion never seemed this intense before the time I met you. Even the heaven was less enticing & alluring for me than the untouched parts of you. Smacking your lips to taunt me you provoked the immovable and yet so volatile & insatiable hunger in me. Nuzzling through my hair, you kissed the side of my neck. Feeling your soft breaths on my nape, I found poetry in the rise and fall of your exquisite mounds of your chest while you moaned my name. Your perfumed hair evolving from the mist of your divine existence, rendered me breathless & enchanted with the hymn of your sinful self. Those sumptuous revealing stares of yours incited my eyes to tear your lingerie off with more intensity than my hands ever could. Wrapped in those white sheets, from those Friday evenings to the Sunday mornings, you made me dress and undress all at once. Taking you by ...

"Scarlet" We were doomed since the very first day our eyes met... En-crumbling chills ran down my spine when she raced out of my mortal heart. The wet and shabby floor of this devastated ruins of my so-called "love", spilled out every dirty intricate detail. I remember everything between us which didn't even happen. I remember you as awfully pretty even when you were not mine. I remember the exalted taste of your careless elegance. I remember your fervent dedication to keep people happy. I remember you as the blended fragrance of our unrequited love. This realization dropped like a bomb on me, that we were never meant to be together. Like those two annihilating parts of the universe, which always brings in the chaos & despair. Cultivating this pain, nurturing it, watering it. I reaped the harvest, watered by my tears of pain. I write to get you out of my whole existence. I write to forget the aroma of your body when it used to move aga...

"The Muse" You, my love, are a beautiful string of emotional train wrecks! Pursuing the gorgeous yet haunting expanses of your unexplored territories. I harbored this unbearable pain in my rib cage. Undressing you of all your insecurities & miseries, I made you bloom like a sunflower. Your eyes spoke to mine out loud, we were fluent in the language of love. The unbelievable grace of your tenderness stirred the most romantic endeavor inside me. Sedating the storm of your madness while I gasped so loud, like all the air have been drawn out of my lungs. I claimed to this mortal world, that you were solely mine. My eyes revealed all with just one smile of yours, it froze everything around me but made me feel its warmth. Immersing into the magenta color of your sore love, I sold the pieces of my soul just to have you in return. Your words linger around me. You calling my name, made me feel like I am so much more than just a name. Looking at you sleep...

"Passion Fruit" You were like a poetry, my hands wanted to read. To embrace the warmth of your veins pounding blood, I moved the heaven & the earth to be with you. Those bare impure & imperfect thoughts mind scarring me because no one does it like the way you do. With these intensifying & unforgiving desire of ours. Your breath on my collarbone was like a distant force pulling my body in & soul out. My hands in your hair, my breath on your neck... That's how bliss felt like! Undressing your mind with the intimacy of a naked emotion. I burnt my tongue lacing your earlobes. Your moans fueled our passion even further & the luminosity was just incandescent for the mortal beings. With that lingering tease, your aroused eyes spoke to mine. Looking at me with that thirst, your scarlet lips seemed ever more voluptuous. Those rhythmic movements of ours made music also blush for a fraction. As you moaned, scratching my back with that gush...

"Essence" She asked, "Why do you always smile?" to which I said, "How can anyone look at you and not smile." I returned home every evening to feel her warmth in the cold nights, like all thousands of birds did. As she was like the gravitational pull eclipsing moon, making me come back for more every time. Breathing her insecurities, I woke up most nights. Keeping her pious love hostage in my ribs, so I did not have to live without it, ever. Crawling under her skin to know every inch, I tasted the sap of her sorcerous beauty which invoked a new life in me, a new fire. I discovered poetry in the darkness of her hair, while she danced in her own element in the monsoon. Blessed was her heart with divinity & with the nerve wrecking desire of mine, I took hold of her & said, "I would take zillion times more to wait for you." Scribbling my name on her naked back, a string of questions dawned on me: Whether in that i...
