Two souls,
whose reason became their own…
personal struggle, for the glory of
their sleepless minds,
were walked by unrivalled desire
across the field of lust that frolicked
in the fingers of a homing sun.
Yea, ‘twas a visit, a maiden one
and unplanned to the famed fortress,
which the grizzled bards called it
“The Garden of Eden”.

Ah, an exciting venture anticipated,
no scripted rules, but mind game was so essential
and playing was not that easy.

The first acts gently ignited the flame
that summoned teasingly the lazy night
to slough the shyness

Hmm, sweet velvet traces…
of adulthood seemed under way
as we, the mortal toys of Eros,
emerged from the pristine lake of ignorance,
holding tight the last breath of gawkiness,
to shoo the unseen tweeter.

Our cherry flavored sweat
started to roll emphatically
down the green sheet full of incantation,
to wet the dryness of the incoming night.
We were ready
to explore the prophetic myth
of innocence, with the fragile hearts
throbbing excitedly.

She, my one and only,
first savored the warm glow
of my brown eyes,
matched it with a table wine
that made her more confident

In front of her, I tried to hide
my nervousness,
so that I would not disappoint
the god of love, who wrapped our shadows

The early blush of our bodies
would lead us to eternity, we thought.

I perceived the scraggy tweeter
cussed me, for kissing in public
my mate’s honey scented lips that were glistening
under the peeking light of a manmade moon,
and it was not taking a rest from peeping.

the passing orphic wind.

and spent my stipend for this event,
so that I would not have to be
treated like fool sissy,
by my nagging peers!” replied I.

But when my very thorough search was over
and I was only a stoplight away to be there,
in the verb of love, the doctor came in haste
and woke me up from a drug induced sleep.
