Daydream

By Ms Panchatapa Das

We kissed each other in a hot-blooded daydream,

Your slender fingers interlocked in mine.

Everytime you suspired, which exhibited amouresness;

Feelings of ecstasy wrapped me up.

And oh! Those sensuous eyes filled with absolute seduction,

It would direct a libidinous gaze to me.

My yearning lips would melt in yours,

Losing control to stop the intensity of concupiscent emotions.

The warmth of your body would produce an irresistible ambience.

You slowly murmured that impassioned phrase in my ears,

These meaningful words 'I love you, Jane'.

As you nuzzled through my satiny hair.

Desire wouldn't stop but eventually,

You would snuggle into my warm embrace.

It still occurs to me as a thought of bewilderment,

The sentiments of lust framed our picture,

Why did I fall for your soul?.

Why did you create an expectation in me?

When you weren't going to promise me an unceasing love.

I weeped days and days for you,

My tears drenched in my melancholia,

Which were doleful pangs of heartache.

These imbecile questions would not make any changes now,

Because I'm going to erase you from my fascinating daydream.

A daydream in which only I was blind in love.

When two souls fall in love

Covered with the veil of spellbinding beauty,

An enthralling enchantress occupied my heart.

A winning smile and a pair of bewitching eyes was all I needed,

To have my empty heart snatched away.

Making me dream about her juvenile activities,

She intensified my fascination with salmon-pink lips.

Her face glittered with an angelic dazzle,

As if the moon was her bosom companion.

And sometimes the impish eyes spied me,

To pull jokes on me with a witless smirk.

Thump! Thump! There went our hearts racing one day,

Flickering sparks flew as our vibrant eyes met.

We being bright-eyed and bushy-tailed folk,

Expressed our zestful confession towards each other.

And with a gratifying kiss started our passionate story of love,

A profound love of two genuine souls.

That Angel

Embraced by two impassioned cordial arms,

I lifted my head up to a genial ambience.

Two sparkling and tranquil eyes gazed,

At my dejected and poignant eyes.

Her exuberant beam gestured my melancholic tears,

To stop falling on my personable face.

It ceased at once and my impassive face,

Returned to an exhilarant expression.

Enveloped by an ebullient flavour,

I got up on my feet leisurely.

Her plump heart-shaped rosy lips cast a glance to me,

Making me feel diffident and reserved.

The saccharine scent of her hug cooled me,

Gentle consolation advanced towards me.

Offering me some food with compassionate hands,

She took me on a short walk.

She fed me kind-heartedly with an animated disposition,

While I listened to her optimistic articulation with great attention.

When she shot affectionate smiles along with twinkling eyes,

I realized that I had fallen in love with her.
