Loving You

Nilakshi Roy May 25, 20170

Here’s an intense love poem by Nilakshi, in Different Truths, that catalogues her love.

Let me talk of love…

Of Fossil fragrance

Of rock-hard chest

Of ponytailed haze

Of man-bun frame

Paco guitar

And Rodin-hands.

Derelict muscles

Toothless grin

Aching heart

Blazing eyes

Cushiony hands

Grey-black beard

Wodehouse wit

And Saigal songs.

Picasso pate

Wit-rimmed specs

Baritone calls

Stingray touch

Rattlesnake moves

Mehdi ghazal

And a Pompeii heart.
