Still the Same Man In My Own Right

I caressed your body all along the day, Planted my affection on your lips Surely it will stay there forever. Hope, will stay there forever. I was a man of great dreams and desires I never treated you a subordinate eve What I gave you was privileged pleasure I never gave you the pain of childbirth It was I who ate the forbidden fruit of Eden. Committing adultery in my old age. I was a man of great dreams and desires. Now that you have left me for reason, I have unlearnt to find safe line Between teasing and pleasing you. I am yet to learn the difference Between bare-breasts & fashionable breasts. I am still the same man in my own right I have crossed to the other side And I can’t ever go back. I am still the same man in my own right +++ September 1, 2014 Form: Free Verse Dr. Ram Mehta Contest: When Doing Wrong feels So Right by Jared Pickett
