Love Story
May 19, 2008
Do you remember silky sands of Juhu beach,
where we heard songs of the whispering winds
and melancholy melody of the watery waves.
That day we had come close, closer and closer -
till your minty breath had mingled with mine…
Do you recollect that cold night of rhapsody
when I had accepted the silent invitation of your fiery arms
and later midst the damp sheets –
that musky fragrance lingered
that was neither your nor mine,
but it was of the infinite union of our bodies and souls…
Now, when I think of those golden old days
we spent together,
my eyes blur with salty saline-water
and clandestinely I count the teardrops
that fall on the sultry pages of
our forgotten love story…
