It all began
With a hug
An embrace
Loving warm
My safe place
Smells of love
Sweet sweat
Steamy hot
So close and tight
Almost breathless
Gasping for air
Love is love
And some despair.
Lakshmi Shrinath Jun 2021
Where do I fly?
You ask me.
Into the
summer sky
Where the
setting sun
Bounces waves
Off her *****.
As she breathes
her last for the night
Does she sleep
or worry
Storms and winds
she has to carry.
'Tomorrow' who knows?
So give her hope.
coz you have been
there before.

‘Take away my blues ‘
I said a quiet prayer.
‘What will you have left then?’
Answered God
‘The sky I painted
The seas tainted
Are there for you
to blend into.
Blue is here to stay.’
‘Go on’ he said
‘I have a busy day...

Do you know
why I love you, honey?
You are sticky and sweet
You don’t dry up
No matter what I do
you never go bad.
You are acidic
yet medicinal.
My antioxidant
my energizer.
You know I cant
do without you.
That amber glow
Drives me crazy
When I ask you
Tea or me?

Sipping  tea
Alone someday
You will miss me
Then close your
Dreamy  eyes
Go ahead and laugh
The way you do
At me, at us.
That’s cool, really
We would be cool
Wouldn’t we?
Take a stroll
On the beach
Feel that sand
Slip away
Under your
Disproportionate feet
Send those seagulls
Away,  far away
That’s cool, really
so they don’t
bother you
With some
stormy memory.
Keep that office
Door open
Always.
Let them take
the litter
That’s cool, really
Locking it
might remind
You things
Won't do  any better
Drive by the café
Have our special
That’s cool , really
Just smile
If you see our bench
that was made for two.
If you see someone cry
Go ahead
Wipe that tear
That’s cool really
You do that well
you listen, you care
but please  ignore
those moles
Lest they
talk to you
about someplace
you met them
long ago.
Go ahead and forget me
Babes that’s cool really
Don’t just ever
Let me know
That your heart
is empty
the last crumbles
Of love
I scraped out
It was too good
to believe.

I watch you sit across
So in love with me
You won't say a word
Let alone look at me

Then hurricane Katrina
Seems to come back
Spinning in my head
Grey matter takes a whack

You with me
Strange things come true
The universe turns into a canvas
Impossibilities are few

We could build a starship
To fight alien invasions
Go back and forth in time
Exploring parallel dimensions

What if  we were captives
In an Intergalactic zoo
Invent ways to make love
Aliens won't have a clue!

Experience every fantasy
Only you and I can vouch
Exploring enhanced imagination
Sitting across the couch.
