Hi all,
Guess I am visiting and posting on this forum after a long long time..Feel the forum is getting deserted of good writers wanting to share..Anyways,
here posting a recently completed poem, Infact in last two days I actually completed four of my incomplete English Poems.
Thought of posting this one in particular..
As always, I would request you to drop in your comments, criticisms, valuable as they are..
TEMPTED IN LOVE
Tears so oft well up in these eyes so now hollow
If only I had not known what harsh love was, after feeling so much sorrow?
It seems that my heart would just pop out of my breast
His memories, weighing me down may bury me in the Mother Earth at rest
I remember how those lovely lustful eyes had eyed me
Deftness with which his fingers had fumbled me...
Driven were my long legs to his tempting behest-
‘Break open the cage, let out the bird in your breast!’
That scent in his hair, that money in his purse
Tempted by enchanting illusions of love, ‘twas no less than a curse.
And then had I entered a world less familiar near his cabinet
Where no sunshine did ever fill any of his pockets!
Regret as I now, that hasty choice and those chaotic passions
That schlepped me through that express-your-love-session.
His brush felt cold, sore and swift, his eyes demanding
Naive I saw a different side of him in that intimate meeting.
Hot sweat diffusing into the scent smelled before
The breast bared, cage shattered, the feathers of the bird tore...
Harsh, hurting, loveless and numbing were those expressions
I felt no love-passing truly, save inimical illusions
Love tempted me thence, made promises false
Etched in my memory remained that night so coarse
Time flows away easily, the memory takes longer
Cleansed shall I be by the rueful tears, is my wish stronger
To find pure, tempt less love, shall the heart now lie aflutter
Soar in true love, with anew wings, may the bird fly farther....
