If you love somebody, let them go;
For if they return, they were always yours;
If they don’t, they never were.
– Khalil Gibran –
Good morning my dear friends!
Happy Valentine’s Day!

The Socks
The Socks
In coils like two cotton balls
Coated with dust
From under my bed
A brush stroke brought out the socks!
Forgotten
Abandoned
Consciously or unconsciously
The socks you left behind
Sad, blue
Filled with bitterness
The stare blank
The socks
I caught in my trembling hands
Gave me a lump in my throat
The socks recalled your being there
Curled against me in my bed
It was not a dream!
The socks made me a little scared
Fear the idea that you will never come back
To warm my bed
To cover me with delicious cuddles
The socks made me chuckle too
Giggle at the idea that I had never seen such large feet
Such big toes, teasingly tickling my feet
The socks revived in me the great happiness
These senseless moments
When we both laughed like kids
Happy to be together
Pleased that we had met
Pleased that we were in love!

I Promise You
My love, I promise you my ink,
My heart bleeds of words I think,
Of impossible love and pain,
My tears flow incessantly as rain,
Eroded a painting of sea and sand,
Dreams of escape to a green island;
My love, I promise you my ink,
As long as my breath doesn’t sink,
Blood flows in my veins,
A song in my memory remains.

White Flowers in the Night
Take me with you,
To a land where white flowers
Bloom in the night,
Where moths freely die in the light,
As I bloom and I die in your favors;
Take me with you,
Keep me close to you,
As the scent of white flowers
Invigorate the breath of lovers,
And I write with the ink of your eyes,
These petals of poetry,
Chaste as white flowers in the night.

SEPARATION
Goodbyes are for those who love with their eyes; for those who love with their heart and soul, their is no such thing as separation. RUMI.
Your Voice
The magic of your voice,
Irretrievably touches my soul,
Lifts our passion to zeniths untold.
The magic of your voice,
When I hear on the phone,
Fills my searing eyes with tears,
Drives away all my agony and fears;
Whatever the cruel distance,
However excruciating the absence,
The magic of your voice,
When I hear on the phone,
Brings a smile of hope on my face,
In my life,fullness and solace;
The magic of your voice,
When I hear on the phone,
Irretrievably touches my soul,
Lifts our passion to zeniths untold.

How to tell you
How to tell you,
What is sweeter than a drop of honey,
Sweeter than a grain of sugar,
Sweeter than the juice of a strawberry;
How to tell you,
Nothing is sweeter than your tongue,
Melting like ice in my mouth;
How to tell you,
What is a flower without a bumble bee,
Or a bumble bee without a flower,
Or me without you, or you without me.

Happy Teddy Day
I close my eyes and I smile,
I think of my teddy by my side,
How chummy can we be,
Under the shower,
When we lather up each other playfully,
And,slurp the water running down our body;
On the bed,
When we touch every part of each other,
And,discover the joy of connubial intimacy;
Every thought of you,
The vegetable biryani we share,
The ride in the auto in the busy fair,
The transience of our meeting,
When you come home from the city,
The farewell,
When you leave to catch the night train,
The helpless look in your beautiful eyes,
A selfie, a promise to remain truthful,
No matter what, the lure,the pull;
My sweet hubby,
As I sit down to milk the cow in the shed,
I recall I am your Chocolaty milkmaid,
The girl from a faraway village,
In your book of fairies, a page;
Illiterate, I don’t know the word ‘Valentine ‘,
All I know, I am yours and you are mine.

The Divine Dance
My sweet beloved
Dance with me
On this melody of love 💕
My sweet beloved,
Your lover dances,
Whirls and swirls,
On heavenly music;
Intoxicated with agony,
Your lover spins,
Twirls and swirls,
Longing for your lips;
My sweet beloved,
Dance with me
On this melody of love,
As I am in you,
You are in me,
You are the essence of the essence.
