A Dull Evening

Tired and soaked in sweat
I unbuttoned my Kurti,
threw on the bed to free 
my sweat  washed body,
wished for his soft hands
to wipe off the sweat and
smear sandal and menthol  paste
all over  singing with deep 
monotone, his love for me
to cool me down to accept reality.

Wishes are just fantasies
never can face them with a smile.
I am lonely though in a crowd
and insensitive to pain
no fancy for pleasure,
If you can-
give me my senses back,
fill them with life
take me wherever you
create a sea for me
I will forget the shore.
