Come At Midnight

I lay in bed engorged
with nothing on but skin
at the stroke of midnight she fled hitherto
lest my anger let the beast in

Together, again

tick tock went the clock

sunsets a-plenty

perilously slow days

since the moment you left me

Twas a hole I dug

and then another

vainly striving to bury

our memories, or at least smother

Alas, the Fates weren’t done

our tale hadn’t expired

distance and time ne’er enough

to keep two hearts conspired

Dubai Dally

as the night embraced us

the heat lingered in the air

twofold, two roads

a Ying and Yang affair

one belonging to the desert

a sun that never rests

the other, kindled in me

each time I traced her breasts

with my eyes from afar

as I dreamt of her skin

with my fingers, in the dark

as we made Eros grin

weather for two without you

the cacophony of emotions

piggybacking on a storm

akin to the chocolate goosebumps

that coursed my skin

and the rainbow moths

that fluttered in me

each time you walked in
