HER WAIT FOR THE ANONYMOUS LOVER

Happy to be here

on this seashore

amidst the surging

crowd in the night

walking incognito

listening to the sweet

erotic whispers of

love-birds walking

hand-in-hand

in the foaming light

of the city.

Happy to be here

on this seashore

walking incognito

listening to the hustle and

bustle of the city

listening to the

hoots and toots of the

speeding vehicles

along the endless road

on the other side.

Happy to be here

on this seashore

walking incognito

listening to wild music

of the sea

the foaming waves hitting

the rocks on the seashore

and retreating and

coming back

retreating and

coming back

umpteen times.

Happy to be here

on this seashore

walking incognito

watching the luminous sights

of huge shining boards

of reputed firms

farway in the city.

Happy to be here

on this seashore

walking incognito

watching the dancing

reflections of the starry, moonlit sky up above.

Happy to be here

on this seashore

walking incognito

watching the lady up above

clad in a sky blue attire

wearing star-studded

ornaments

around the neck

hands and ears

smiling at me.

Sad to be here

on this shore

walking incognito

thinking of the

lady clad in sky-blue attire

wearing

ornaments around

her neck, ears

and hands

waiting

for her anonymous

lover to reach her

side anytime since time

immemorial.

Sad to be here

on this seashore

walking incognito

wishing if she

were with me

whispering sweet

erotic feelings

in each others’ ears

walking hand-in-hand.

Even amidst this sea of surging crowd

I feel lonely and incomplete…..
