MICROPOEMS - Ram Krishna Singh (India)

 


MICROPOEMS

-         Ram Krishna Singh (India)

 

she gives him the push

when he says sex starving

is a greater sin

than fasting for his long life

or praying to the lingam

                                                   

***

after a tiff

lying under the same blanket

two of us stare

the peeping moon and turn

with glee to each other

 

***

shaped like a bird

a drop of water lands

on her breast:

my breath jumps to kiss it

before her pelvic flick

 

***

weaving no web

a dark fishing spider

mates in the creek

and curls up hanging from the twat

in one-shot deal

 

***

glowing with sweat

her muscles tighten up

and the toes curl

breathing gets heavier

trembling…twitching…ecstasy

 

***

 

Stains of honeymoon

the  sun and clouds:

sky’s gentle embrace

time can’t erase

hues of passion

 

 

***

 

I clasp your hands

and feel the blood

running savagely

through your arteries

in tulip silence

 

 

***

her beauty

smells the soil that sings

grace in look:

I whisper my heart and chase

the glow her shadow spreads

 

 

***

the wind lifts

her curved nudity

in the water curtain

I touch the strings that whisper

love  in each falling drop

 

***

 

unquenched thirst

more and more indulgence:

momentary pleasure

she says it’s enough now

rein the horse and seek the missed
