Breathless Tryst


A smile, a touch, a look, a breeze;
Your subtle perfume annamese...
Gratifying this frivolous chance,
Sparking off a forbidden romance.

Spicy days turn round and round;
Rendezvous in the shady compound...
Not a single person in remote sight,
While we feel our deepest bones ignite.

Countless open books crave reading some;
The city library echoes a whispery hum...
Your mellow kisses smearing me fawn,
No desire to leave me even at dawn.

A hypnotic perfecto of rhythmic swaying;
The dazzling rooftop in romantic allaying...
Our hush-hush thoughts a dance celestial,
Twinkle in stargazing eyes somehow bestial.

Wild shakes spinning out of hand;
This closed closet freaky unplanned...
Ecstasy wooing Eros's whips,
My moans silenced by your lips.

Thunderous nights as ravenous rebels;
Solace inside those getaway motels...
An absolute thirst to conquer howling,
Is embodied in our clothes scowling.

Sometimes I wonder if they knew;
How mournfully will you bid me adieu...
Our passionate love isn't meant to be,
Each lush rose is to a wilted banshee.

Leaving seems impossible, forever I stay;
Our bond remains that resplendent cliché;
A smile, a touch, a look, a breeze;
Your subtle perfume annamese...
