You Are Her Brother, Darling. Poem by Narayanan Nair. P Perunthanam

YOU ARE HER BROTHER, DARLING.

Oh, Leena my sweetie
Hope, you still in Delhi.
It is Sabarimala Season
My reason to recall you.
Years ago one cold night
Drizzling out side; praise
To Lord Ayyapa rained
Both of our fathers in thrill
Of that hymn and eulogy
On Mohini.I was on bed-
Listening-your father's voice
It fluttered as you too
Flapped and leaned on me.
Pressed breast against mine
With a hiss you kissed me.
In high palpitation, I hugged
Softly you said, ..."Our fathers...
Agreed...To our marriage....
After graduation, you know'.
'Really'. I kissed her sweet lips.
While her curly locks hid it.
I told of this feast to my mom
But she exploded and said,
'I will commit suicide, then
If so happens as you...you...
You are her brother, darling.'
I hope YOU will not reveal this
To quench your revenge
By words 'Me too' in ME TOO'.
