Affair
Published by Aakarsh under Verses on Friday, June 27, 2008
Last night you went away, after we made love...
When I was still asleep, holding you...
You pulled away your white skirt from my lips,
Lips which left their imprints on the edge of your skirt...
After that, I searched for you...everywhere...
Frantically, i looked for you in all our favourite places
And found no traces...of your visit there.
Then, all the places i have ever been to, in this city,
all the streets and by-lanes...and far off groves
I didn't spare the sky either...
I asked some of your friends,
Who wore starry smiles on their faces,
but didn’t tell me where you were...
Late in the evening, when i got tired looking for you,
i headed back home...with disappointment and hope...
A solemn silence descended into my street...radiant.
And I met one fair beautiful lady with few blotches on her cheek...
She claimed that she was your neighbour,
And told me that you would return to my room in the night...
It is night now and I am waiting for you,
A breeze just entered my room, carrying your fragrance,
earthly...yet ethereal, stimulating...yet intoxicating...
I just heard your foot-falls..and their echoes...
The music of your pattering feet...delicate...
With all my eagerness, I came out to greet you...
At last it is raining...
At last it is raining...and I feel you are hugging me...
I am with you When I am in rain...
Come in...Lets make love again...
When I was still asleep, holding you...

whoa!!
welcome back aakarsh!!
i love the feeling this post leaves behind...
oerhaps its coz it has rain in it..i donno..
but, welcome back!
:) all is fine but i detect some mischief
the mischief is not a prolonged one as you think.the cloud conceived the rain barely 24 hrs after i indulged in a mischief wih it.
I should say, it's a good post with certain profundity and mystique in it, yet beautiful. I sign off with a hope that you she will return back to you sooner or later!!
