BURN!BURN!BURN!-Rajiv B Menon

My heart burns

Like a pyre of sandalwood

Smell the fragrance in every breath

 

Love melts the sun into my morning cup of tea.

 

I can still feel her shoulder against mine

Her bosom against my chest

Her cheek against mine

And the smell of her skin

As if I have transformed into her!

 

O night of exaggeration!

 

A piano crashes into the waves; a silent ocean

 

The moon is mauve

The sky wears a flowing wedding gown

The stars have turned into red roses

 

The address reads: Lover’s Castle

The wind will take you there

 

We made love the whole day

We made love the whole night

Me and her

Her and I

Orgasmic moments!!

 

Time is a mattress to roll on

 

O unabashed desires!

O articulate silences!

 

Fate burns in a furnace of consequence

Destiny – a love child

Illegitimate heartbeats

Run on naked feet in a cessepool of feelings

 

O slums of magic!

Jungle of tranquility!

Burn! Burn! Burn!

 

Lit up my guts with a million candles

Madonna and the boy child

Jesus of my spine

Krishna of my libido

Allah of my lips

 

“God is a voyeur.”
