Burning Desires !

As he gently caress her lips

And carefully examines

Web of lines on her palm

In a fading candle light

She asks-

‘Who am I to you?’

He says-

‘What Penelope was to Odysseus- you are to me’.

She giggles -

'Hmmm , I won’t let you go that far, my love

To conquer Troy for someone else

When it makes you destroy the island of my love, my own Troy'.

He whispers-

'Ah, how could I bear to leave you now, my love

For I have spent thousands restless nights- all awake

Waiting

For this ‘one moment’-

If only- 

If only, I could gently kiss your tender lips

Touch your dreamy eyes

Inhale the fragrance of your body

Steal your femininity

Freeze this moment, and

Produce once and forever

A divine Raag of Love and Desire

In the fading candle light.
