le Zahir

In a pool of almond shaped red i swim
Glassy brown pebbles set deep within
I'd dive in and uncover a thing or two
Stories of seduction on the Island of Dr.Moreau
Deceptive and concealing is that wiry frame
Over which i intend to play every game
Seething and sensitive behind a sunny facade
Powerful and firm in his steadfast glance
Tripping on life and music and all
Viewing life as a big fat ball
If only my quest comes to the surface
infatuation, biting into every phase
If him i conquer, fireworks will ensue
Enormous and suppressed desire will brew
In violent gusts and screams of pain
Attempts to resist it all in vain
And when towards the end we reach
The limit of mortal satiation, we'd breach.

Elusive Enticer

Slumber the elusive enticer
Beckons me like a bottle of wine
When towards it i wander
Escapes me more times than nine

In the subtle night i ponder
About matters gory and divine
Letting every feeble thought wander
Into the densest crevice and ravine

Wrought with the melody of glee
Of past laurels and memory
Entwined with grief and melancholy
Turning into a potpourri!

Emotions find a convenient vent
Bringing to surface the severest dent
From loss of love and pride so hurt
The tears flow freely, almost spurt

Slumber ye elusive enticer
Engulf me within your steadfast grasp
Lest i give in to the darkness
And in eternal anguish bask.
