SHE - poem {first published in Singapore based Kitaab}

My eyes refused to blink

Lest she might vanish

Softness of her flesh

Smooth and silky

Heaving of her chest

A quick rush of adrenalin

Blasphemy, my mind cried….

Rose bud eyes

Closed in deep thought

Luscious lips pursed

Pencil caught within

A gong, her eyes fluttered open

I lowered mine

Blasphemy, my mind cried….

She came towards me

Hips swayed, thighs bobbed

I stole a glance

Our eyes met

I shut mine tight

Baffled, shy, afraid

Blasphemy, my mind cried….

A deep breath, I inhaled

 

The aura of jasmine

She halted

I held my breath

The aura lingered

She was gone, I exhaled

Blasphemy, my mind cried….

“Hurry up,” girl!

Her voice beckoned

I opened my eyes

The classroom empty

On my desk

Lay a scrap of paper

Blasphemy, my mind cried….

My hands trembled

A blank white paper

I stared, confused

I turned around

There she was

A smile, a tease

Blasphemy, my mind cried…

I was at the door

Eyes downcast

“Good day madam,” I said

She embraced me tight

 

I quivered like a leaf

Wrenched free, ran as hell

Blasphemy my mind cried again and again…..
