Touch Me Not...

By -
Slightly salty, slightly stray,
A little spicy too.
Temptress clad with mystery,
Touch me not, you may pursue.
Watch your dreams,
I set them on fire.
Silk around my body,
May spark your desire.
Purple nights, sober days,
The frenzy surrounding my skin.
Touch me not,
Let our breath rock like a violin.

Smoking-sizzling, take my senses on an alluring stroll.
Touch me not, just arrest my vivacious soul.

    Hey Saru. How are you?
    It's always a treat to be at this space, so full of imagination and artistry.
    I loved this passionate composition thoroughly.

    Watch your dreams,
    I set them on fire. Loved this line, there is a self belief in it.

    Touch me not, just arrest my vivacious soul. I don't think you could have concluded it better. Just the perfect ending.

    And the picture of Marilyn. Passion personified. That makes this entire post a perfect one. ABSOLUTELY. :)

Rewind - September 2023

 I wrote the following in September. Sometimes, I feel I will forget the art of writing couplets because I am not writing at all this year. I strongly believe you have to practice to hone your craft. And I am not doing that. Perhaps I schedule a time to write a poem. Or I need better time management skills. Date Published 09/05/2023 मुझे उसके जाने का इतना अफ़सोस नहीं हुआ  जितना इस बात का कि इतने सालों तक उसे रहने ही क्यों दिया  Love, Saru

I Am Not Alone

Last year blessed me, He walked silently into my life. It was Love, That took me in its stride. One evening we walked holding hands, Then, I told him what I felt in heart. He said we were one soul, Who were living in parts. To bring the parts together, We fought with the world and tied the knot. Being one soul, Gave life a whole new spot. Chirping birds, floating clouds, Nature conspired for us. Always swimming against the tide, Life was in an adrenaline rush. This year cursed me, He walked silently out of my life. It was Death, That took him in its stride.       Yesterday his soul was saying, Fearing memories will fade, he can’t move on. He will stay and admire me, Standing always by my side from dusk to dawn.
