Neon lit dreams

The monsoon evening,

when

the city

dodged slanting silver ropes

and we watched. 

The taxi ride,
when 
eyes met, 


but lips didn’t
Cheap radio songs
punctuated 


lingering solitude.
Flesh 
promised desire

Lost in her smells

last night’s perfume.

Ruffled sheets

and longing embrace,

musty morning sunshine

Again !

Another evening,

terminals and departures

later 


‘welcome aboard’

she smiled.


Below

the city glowed

like a firefly

I wrote no goodbyes

Just ecstasy
