The beast in me stirred up , The moment my eyes met hers ! So deep yet so cool , In contrast to the violent lust Rebeling deep within her robes, Same bus stand and same route to work , Our daily rendezvous . Luckily perhaps ,I managed knowing smiles and chats formal ! I found my beast quenching its thirst , yet arousing it more and more !! By the touch of her softness In jampacked buses Thanking which ever God it was ! The craze in me reached the heights , When the atheist me , Followed her to the place of worship too ! I missed her the most when I worked late Trudged back home alone . Then one such night , when night had slept The beast in me sprang up again ! Beholding her , walking by alone !! A violent thunder brought a heavy down pour Washing us up to a same dark tin shed , Her smiles provoked my delirious eyes Scanning her body dripping nude . My drunken beast fully aroused Almost grabbed her in its grip . But I knew not that day , Religious fanatics in the name of false faith Had begun a terrible slaughter , Riots !! That trapped us all of a sudden ! Hungry vultures pounced on us ,snatching her Away from me ! |
While we struggled , I heard - wails of law flashing beacons . Men in uniforms challenged the attackers. Wounded and bleeding I plucked her . Away from that bloody hell . We ran and ran farther away ~ ~ Till an avalanche of tears stopped her , Embracing me with all her might . Her shock but an unknown trust , Crushed me - with my back to a wall !! As those luscious cups I longed to knead Were pressed against my chest . A tingle but with a guilt sparked me ashamed . Torn clothes and partly naked as she was Tears in her eyes and in mine , I too embosomed her , Weeping like a child !! As she sobbed , I sensed my beast Falling to its knees ~ And it fell to the ground soon ! When she looked up at me with a glow of faith unknown It all happened , before it was too late ! I thanked the God again The beast in me has slept Slept ~ never to wake up again . Now I live with the man in me . With the only hope .... She sees him in true love with her . May never fear an unknown dead Beast !! ~~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~~ |
This poem was inspired by a dream that I had on March 9th '1996 and is the first of its kind in my compositions. I wrote a crude version of this poem on March 12 th '1996 . Though my dream did not have the animal instincts that I have depicted at the beginning of the poem but here I wanted to hilite the 'beastly' aspect of Human Psychology. I would like to thank a new friend of mine from UK , whose artistic collecton of pictures re- inspired me to include this poem in my site. Suggestions and comments are as always welcome. |
