My Last Lover Poem by Kesav Venkat Easwaran
My Last Lover
You,
the damsel of the divine dark love,
never I knew, your ardent love!
inconspicuous you remained
these many years of wait
to come out of your hide
uncalled unaware here
One leg firm on earth
the other- I knew not- elsewhere
I saw you there on that day
beside the foot of my cot
the shadow spread of Death!
Memories now unfold
Throwing ropes, thy corner eyes
tightly tie me to bed,
thy snow-cold body clings to mine,
kiss bears no warmth,
frozen fingers touch my arms,
I felt- come, you beckoned
I kept my nerves aroused, not
nor responded to thy call
my reply was a frozen stare
you left disheartened, sad
I hate thee not, the gloom-faced girl!
now go, I'll woo you one day glad
let me finish my life's drinks all
wait till their intoxication lasts
Well resist that! ! Ice cold... inconspicuous..and unaroused.. My Gosh this was absolutely GREAT! .. Now how 'bout a martini? ? lol I love this one Kesav.. my 10 Wendy
very nice poem......shows how much you feel for this lady love :))
You seem to be deeply involved in the depth and flow of the words to finish all by one single breath....I wish you 'Long live my dear friend'
An excellent and one of a kind write. Thought provoking and powerful. Death is not always welcome. Yet, it will always come in God's own time. Beautifully crafted by a brilliant mind.
Kesad, This is a superb penning, I love the subdued elegance in which you describe this dark lady, welcome by some but not all. Big 10+++
splendid piece of art.....i loved the unique way in which u have potrayed it (death) as your lover which i saw thru my eyes as a guest..... very creative piece sir...
