A DATE WITH YOU
by M.v.s Sathya Narayana, India
You ask me: what I expect
Well ! It's just a ‘date’
While the abetting inky night
is busy writing down a tasteful menu
In candle light just you and I
Looking into each other’s eyes
Our faces glowing in mild halos
Amidst an expectant darkness
And screeching envious crickets
Staring at each other as if
Raring to bare our thoughts
Starting with hors d’oeuvre
Wine, up to a sweet dessert
Allowing it to mature late
Slowly and slyly dissolving
the inhibiting clout fettering
us for too long to cut the ice
Cuing at each other coquettish passes
Forcing our gluttonous hearts open
Replete with unspelled passions
By those titillating slashes
From great Eros’s stiletto
To spill out our secretive wants
And chase out the dozing dark horse
And, it's all for now I thought
Leave the remnant witching hours
To the great Cupid’s verdict
