They say skin remembers,

Even the quietest devotion.

Fingertips writing slow histories

on soft constellations of the chest –

One kiss, a vow;

One breath folding under the shallop –

An entire Universe collapsing, 

Slow and rushed adrenaline –

Breaths merging together- witness is the flow.

I wonder,

Is the darkening of skin, the blush on the cheeks, the tan on the lips just biology?

Evolution?!

Or psychic ability?! 

Two spirits collapsing, 

Merging into one,

Is this alchemy?

Or spirituality?! 

Or, magic?!

Cupid call my name when you blow, 

Do not rush, 

Whisper my name slowly and magically under my ears, 

So that I can smell your fragrance, 

Preserve your love bites. 

Oh c’mn, babe isn’t it steamy and flowy and airy, nah?!

Come to me,

Closer until there ain’t any space to breath, 

Come to me-

Closer, 

I’ll show you what I’ve got and what you wanna see! 

Let me show you a path you have never seen, 

The power of my subconscious, 

Darkest imaginations, 

Or is it love leaving traces

in a colour only the moon can translate?

Or, the sun gets shy when in a blaze!

Every pull, every tender claim-

I scream I am yours,

Only yours,

You are mine,

Once you enter into my mine, 

In my territory –

I own you,

You are mine.

You shall remain only my!

My beloved possession, 

My obsession,

My favourite hobby, 

Tied into my clutches where soft kisses follows on your neck and cheeks,

I want to adore you,

Adore you like no one else did!

Ruby blush, then dusk-tinted warmth,

Like sun setting deeper into its horizon

each time the sea whispers yes.

Each time you get into the dan!

Melanin rising like emotion

unafraid of permanence.

Bodies learning each other

in silence and saltwater

and a little mischief mess.

You be my mafia, 

I’ll be your queen,

But, please do not intend to make me a mannequin!

You hold me like brittle candle, 

I’ll lighten up the scene,

Without any scandal. 

Blow your mind out with my soft chuckles, 

Blow your mind out when I call your name in extreme pleasure.

If touch can heal,

If lips can unburden secrets,

Why can’t affection

paint its own gradients

on sacred skin?

Let the world remain logical –

Hormones and science and cycles.

Let people say It’s mood swing, 

It’s chemistry, 

But, I know, It’s in the stars, the constellations, 

Where you are my one and only planet, 

I will be your satellite roaming around you-

You remain in the circle, 

The point ends within us!

Wrapping you in my finger toe-

The charm speaks volume, 

My glow in the skin is for your gentle touch,

I would love the way you intend to learn me, 

Draw tattoos of love and affection, 

I want to be held tightly in your chest,

Held by you,

Captivated in your charm, 

Now I wanna be captured by you.

But let me believe another truth:

That closeness has a colour,

and love darkens what it adores

so it shall never be forgotten.

For, if I ever let you come so close to me, 

Consider you have won an untamed territory, 

Never belonging to anyone except you! 

An exclusive access on demand!

I will take you in my remand! 

A restricted one- 

No one is allowed until I want that meek deer to be, 

Win me with your mighty prowess –

I want scars of love all over me, 

Don’t be afraid, 

The boundary is opened for you till this moonlit night, 

Come in over, go get me, find me, hunt me, 

But, don’t haunt me, 

As you will lose me forever. 

I wanna love you like a cherry blossom, 

Slowly but mindfully, 

When magic runs through veins and you shatter, 

Scatter your well reserved thoughts under my warmth, 

Leave your trace in my mind, 

So that I can write love letters when you are not there, 

Scarlet letters for red nights, 

Bluish sky…… 

Chilled views over the flaky snows-

I draw your picture in the face of the moon, 

My charming prince,

I call your name in the lonely woods, 

Where you are wandering like a ghost-

In search of me?!

Perhaps! 

I am unforgettable, 

I am remarkable, who taints you in red! 

Come on, 

Take me in, 

Come on,

I summon you, 

Command you, 

Plea you to take me in.

C’mn have a taste- I am peach flavoured and have beachy vibes, better than all the bitches there!

Come snatch me from the scavengers, 

Avenge me from them.

When you and I emerge, 

Something in the heavens stir!

And, when I write in your name- 

Even the God and heavens smile! 

Babe, let the air shift and the heavens cast their light upon us!
