Ghostly Encounter In Darkness

Gargi

Flashlights began to pop


Around the corners of agitation


Fumes of lust spread all over me


Soft ticklish, mauve shades of breathe


Hoarse voice plunged my bruised neck


I could feel him as the lights died


Pacific trials


       In a creamed-licked memory 


               Sophisticated yet tranquil module


Feather-licked fingers scanning my rosemary lips/ desires crossed over the edge/A dark chocolate circle around my navel/ licks of unfiltered moans whisper under my tongue/ coarse tribulations flicker a tale/ tale of ghosts/ now, drooling on my feminine curves/ He gawks his grey shaded eyes on me/ this is something new/ fantasizing with the ghost/ dribbling layers of needling pain/ he locked his arms on my bronze hair/ burn slowly / I saw the shape of lust/ signifying lump stuck in my mouth/ both breathless/ chasing laughter//


Saturated sight


      Lukewarm charm


                             Sophisticated charcoal laced figure 


Lure to catch fancy language,


Language of fling,


Language of flirtation,


Disillusion atmosphere                 turns green


The purple silhouette                gradually walks away.


Far to the other side of the mirror


Leaving trails of despair on the face
